An Intimate Thanksgiving Wedding  Celebration\" height=\"872\" width=\"575\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #1:Assemble a rustic table setting with vintage  elements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Create table centerpieces with wooden crates, old bottles, and brass candle  holders. Add a burlap runner. Stick with budget-friendly blooms like ivory  carnations! Use vintage china and opt for informal place settings, including  crisp white table linens. For place cards, use mini cocktail flags! See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/design\/make-and-celebrate\/entertaining\/30-thanksgiving-centerpieces-pictures\" target=\"_blank\">HGTV<\/a> for more inspiration!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #2: Have a dessert table with store-bought options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Consider favorites like pecan, pumpkin, and apple! A simple  white cake from the grocery can be decorated with a whimsical cake topper. Or,  if you are lucky enough to have mom make it, then that would be even better!  Remember, having individual cakes displayed on pretty cake stands can look just  as pretty! Finally, bundt cakes are also a popular alternative! See <a href=\"http:\/\/brooklynhomemaker.com\/tag\/lattice-crust-apple-pie\/\" target=\"_blank\">Brooklyn  Homemaker<\/a> for her apple pie recipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #3: Create a chalkboard menu on a wooden slab<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Using chalkboard spray paint, a wooden slab that you can  purchase nowadays at a craft store can be made into a lovely Thanksgiving menu.

Simple Kraft paper boxes can be decorated with a special tag that says,  \u201cgather together, give thanks, eat pie.\u201d Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/eighteen25.com\/2015\/10\/gather-together-give-thanks-eat-pie\/\" target=\"_blank\">Eighteen  25<\/a> for these chic tags!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #5: Set up an apple cider and wine bar stand<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a self-serve option, present 5-7 of your favorite fall  wines and a warm apple cider bar.\u00a0  Provide mason jars, straws, and cinnamon stick as stirrers. Whip cream  is optional!
