"We're Thankful For Our Friends" Dinner Party

As transplants to this city we have made some amazing friends so it only seems natural to host a pre-Thanksgiving dinner party to show how thankful we are to have met. This is pretty easy to do in that each couple brings a dish to add to the meal.

I wanted to set the table in something other than pumpkins and harvest colors, so I chose peacock feathers as inspiration. The natural element of the feathers and the blue and green color combination creates a great Autumn table top.
A welcoming cocktail of green apple martini is served!


The kid's table was set up to be more rustic with craft paper as the topper to draw on, twigs from the yard, and "cornucopias" to hold treats.

I love the idea of having a dinner party with just friends. Too often we are all running around around visiting family that we forget to take a moment to enjoy the holiday with friends. I love your tablescape, wonderful job!

Where did you find that black frame? I have been looking endlessly for the EXACT frame....I was hoping to find that as a mirror though. I would appreciate it if you could let me know where you got it. Thank you!! =)

Thanks everyone!

Morgan, that is actually fabric from Hancock Fabric store.

Ashley, the frame is from IKEA. It is a picture frame but you may be able to get a mirror cut for it.
