The welcome wall
Pick the wall people see when they walk in, or the one behind the food. It sets the mood before anyone sits down.
1. Friendsgiving Banner Balloons with Pumpkin and Maple Leaf Foil Balloons
A Friendsgiving letter balloon banner, 2 pumpkin foil balloons and 6 maple leaf foil balloons, plus a straw and ribbon for filling and hanging.
It says exactly what the party is in one glance, and the foil pumpkins and leaves catch the light in every photo. Air is enough, no helium needed.
Host's note: Hang the banner across the wall and tuck the leaves and pumpkins around it at slightly different heights so it looks arranged, not lined up.
A 10 foot maple leaf garland with berries, pinecones and little wood pumpkin signs, lit by 50 warm orange bulbs with 8 light modes. Runs on 3 AA batteries.
Ten feet covers a whole mantel with some left to drape down the side, and battery power means you can put it anywhere, including the middle of the table.
Host's note: Batteries are not included, so grab three AAs. Set it to the steady glow mode for dinner; the blinking modes are better for the front door.
Twenty four battery tea lights with a warm flicker and a melted edge look, each lasting 200 plus hours on the included battery.
Candlelight is what makes a table feel like an occasion. These give you that glow with no open flames near napkins, kids or pets, and they come back out every year.
Host's note: Scatter them down the table runner and tuck a few into the garland on the mantel so the whole room glows at the same warm color.
Nine stand up 3D paper centerpieces with pumpkins, turkeys, maple leaves and sunflowers, printed on both sides, plus 50 bonus Thanksgiving stickers.
They fold together in seconds, stand on their own and are low enough that guests can still see each other across the table. A newer product, but reviews so far are strong.
Host's note: Group them in threes between the tea lights instead of spacing them evenly. Give the stickers to the kids for their cups.
Three rectangular white porcelain platters on a sturdy black metal stand. The platters are dishwasher safe and the heights adjust.
Height is what makes a dessert table look styled instead of crowded. This is the one real serving piece on the list, and it will come out for every holiday after this one.
Host's note: Mini pies on top, dessert cups in the middle, cookies on the bottom. Scatter a few edible leaves on each tier.
