Make the Fireplace Inviting
Everybody likes to snuggle up next to the fireplace on a chilly day. But a fireplace is more than a useful home feature, it can change the look and feel of a space when adorned. It can also enhance any action you enjoy doing – from drinking a hot cup of coffee to reading a book. Clean your fireplace thoroughly and decorate the mantel with candleholders, flowers, and other natural elements. But be sure to put safety first. Hire a professional chimney sweep to inspect the fireplace before you start decorating.

Create a Message Board
Wouldn’t it be great to know what your guests are thankful for? Well, you can! Simply create a message board where guests can express their gratitude. You can provide paper leaves for them to write on and pin on the board. Use outlines from old books to create the leaves. If you have time on your hands, you can create a Thanksgiving tree that lists all the things you’re thankful for.
Beautify the Front Door
The first thing your guests will see is the front door. Why not dress it up to welcome them uniquely? You can hang a wreath, a swag, or a cornucopia. You can also add natural elements like gourds, potted plants, and cornhusks. Make turkey crafts with your kids and hang them on windows. You can also use a door greeting instead of a wreath to welcome guests.

Incorporate Fresh Flowers
If you forget every other tip, don’t forget this one. Fresh flowers brighten up a home unlike any other thing. You can get alstromeria and sunflowers which remain gorgeous for up to a week. If these are not available, buy flowers in season. Keep your flowers fresh by removing leaves beneath the water and changing the water every few days.
