Frequently asked questions

How do you decorate a Thanksgiving table simply?

Use a runner, one low centerpiece and candles. Velvet pumpkins down a burlap runner with flameless candles looks finished in minutes.

How tall should a Thanksgiving centerpiece be?

Keep it low, under about 12 inches, so guests can see each other across the table.

Do you need charger plates for Thanksgiving?

No, but gold chargers are the easiest way to make a simple plate look dressed up.

Are flameless candles OK on a dinner table?

Yes, and they are safer near cloth napkins and dried decor. Remote and timer candles can stay on all dinner.
