Thanksgiving centerpiece with recycled bottles

Thanksgiving is such a well-loved holiday. So why not borrow that theme for a bridal shower you’re hosting and make the most of all that warmth and cheer! Delight the bride-to-be as you capture the nostalgia of home-cooked goodness, family and friends gathered together, and that spirit of gratitude and goodwill—all with just 5 essential and so-easy elements that are actually quite budget-friendly. Happy Thanksgiving!

Budget-friendly Thanksgiving ideas

1 – Turkey in some form or another must be served, of course. But save the grand stuffed version for the family Thanksgiving table. Instead, for your shower guests, choose a simple yet savory variation like this turkey and veggie lasagna wrapped and baked in crescent roll dough, found on Quick Dish by Tablespoon.

2 – Pumpkin soup in all its thick, rich goodness—just the dish to warm the heart as well as the tummy! This special recipe courtesy of Skinny Taste is made with roasted pumpkin (using the scooped-out halves as bowls) and sage, garnished with sour cream, then served with darling hand-stamped spoons. Perfect shower favor idea, don’t you think?

3- Step aside, apple cider! It’s pumpkin pie martini! Here, we have a delicious concoction of ingredients such as organic sugar pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamon, and vodka. To see more details of David Wolowidnyk’s pie cocktail, visit the blog of Martini Moments.

4 – Home-baked goodies are always a hit on this beloved occasion. You could ask each guest to bring a favorite Thanksgiving treat, then present them all as enticingly as this dessert display by Bloom Designs Online. This post is just brimming with other fabulous ideas for an outdoor autumn gathering, so do check it out!

5 – A charming centerpiece that expresses the sentiment of the gathering. For inspiration, how sweet are these “thankful” jars made by Jen of Tatertots and Jello? She includes a great tutorial using empty jars that she colored by swishing paint around on the insides, plus some DIY labels, and finally bunches of fall foliage. Delightfully doable!

  1. Oooh the pumpkin bowls are fantastic!!!

  2. This is great! Using food as centerpieces is also great especially for Thanksgiving. Think of a turkey, sides, and desserts as the table decor.
