I can’t believe it is fast time to Thanksgiving on Thursday (11/23/2023) for the house to do for the Thanksgiving table on setting before lunch or dinner. I understand everyone gets food and groceries for Thanksgiving. Remember when you get last-minute food recipes. I know everyone had good memories for family for Thanksgiving years but I love Thanksgiving that my favorite holiday with my family.
Now I talk about formal table for Thankgiving from my friend John McMonald post and show:

Step-by-Step Directions
With a few supplies and these how-to instructions, you can set a beautiful Thanksgiving table. Customize your Thanksgiving table setting with your favorite dishes and decor.
Step 1: Plates and Napkins
Before even setting down a plate on your Thanksgiving dinner table, consider chargers or placemats. They can work well in some holiday tablescapes, but if you have a big family or a full Thanksgiving table, it's totally okay to opt out in order to save space. You might, however, want to use them if your family has a designated kids' table. Messy eaters can ruin a tablecloth with gravy grease stains or drips of cranberry sauce.
Once you've decided whether to incorporate place mats or chargers, carefully set down your plates. Start with the largest plate, which is used for the main course, followed by the salad plate set directly on top. If you're using fine china, be careful when setting the plates on top of each other.
Next, assemble your napkins. Use cloth napkins ($13 for six, World Market) for a formal holiday setting. You can choose to fold them in a classic rectangle and place them under silverware on the right side of your plate. Or, fold them in a fun shape and center them on your plate. Another option is to roll napkins into napkin rings for a festive accent.
Step 2: Silverware
You can't eat Thanksgiving dinner without silverware! When setting your knives and forks, there are a few basics to keep in mind. First, forks always sit on the left side of the plate. For formal dinner settings, you'll need a full set of silverware ($100, Target) that includes two forks. The smaller fork goes on the outside for an appetizer or salad and a larger fork should be placed closest to the plate for the main course.
if you go to Target, Hobby Lobby, TJMAXX, and Mashall, you have everything for Thanksgiving like $50-150 dollars if you get discounts off on apps or couples. I struggle with you on apps for couples.
On the right side of your plate, place the knife nearest to the plate with the blade facing in. The spoon should be placed last next to the knife. If serving soup, you'll want to include both a soup spoon and dessert spoon to the right of the knife. Make sure all utensils are aligned with the bottom of the plate for uniformity.
Step 3: Drinkware and Finishing Touches
Now it's time to set the drinkware. If you are serving wine at your dinner, be sure to set the appropriate wine glasses ($38 for a set of four, West Elm) at each place. You should also provide each guest with a glass for water. All drinkware should be placed on the right side of your table setting, above the knife and spoon, with the water glass at the top.
On the opposite side of the glasses, you have the option to include a bowl or bread plate and a butter knife. Whichever you choose, make sure it matches your plates in color and style.
Simple three steps of Thanksgiving table. I love shopping for Thanksgiving decor but I like prices make sure to watch the price for me, I want $100 anything from table things if the discounts are off I wish 1 Pier Import store but closing like during COVID. I wish everyone wanted 1 Pier import is very popular becasue of silverware and plates and napkins like $5.99 to $15.00. TJMAXX and Mashrall are poplars of things for Thanksgiving tables of formal.
