Thanksgiving is bringing 31 people together at my house. That's a lot of china, silver, and chairs. I decided to use placecards to make it easy on deciding where to sit.
I found some antique trade cards from the late 1700's and used them for my base format.
As usual, I couldn't decide what print to use, so I used a bunch:
I stuck with harvest and farming themes, with some thrown in because of the period dress.
The chef, who has a huge garden and grows oranges, will get the orange grower business card.
I had to play with the sizing. once I get the size figured out, I print them out on cardstock.
It's not the typical pilgrim/ fall leaf// pumpkin placecard you usually see for Thankgiving. So that makes it perfect for my table.
