Are you In the planning stages for your Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving/Fall Soirees celebrations?  Creating a dazzling Fall tablescapes is a fun activity for the whole family.  There are plenty of ideas on Pinterest or just Google “Fall Tablescapes” or “Thanksgiving Tablescapes”.

Here’s an idea to personalize each place setting: cut a circle in a small pumpkin, scoop out the centers (be sure to save the pumpkin seeds for roasting – they’re a healthy snack!!), then place a picture you’ve taken of a family member(s) or friend in the center as a place card. Or, simply attach the picture to the pumpkin with scotch tape.

TIP:  Find a service that makes 4” x 4” prints for your place setting photo.

You can take some photos at an Orange County, Ca. location which can be found on  my Memorable Photography Explorations page CLICK HERE.  These photos, taken with some colorful backgrounds, are ideal for the place cards to show that you’re grateful to have this person in your life.  And, they’re a memorable gift to take home.

Happy Gathering, Everyone!
