Hosting Thanksgiving this year and need to decorate on a smaller budget? Holiday dinners can get very expensive and when you add in all the décor, your festive cheer may not be as lively as the guests were anticipating.

To save you time and money, blend together your autumn look with harvest and Thanksgiving themes. You won’t break the bank and the integration of fall and holiday themes can carry out until Christmas.

The first thing your guests will see when arriving on Thanksgiving is your yard. Create an artsy fall look with simple decorations that nature has provided. Start with collecting acorns and pine combs for your theme. Choose leaves that are beautiful shades of oranges, reds, and gold’s that bring in the season of color. Use a hay bail and a few pumpkins and even a scarecrow if you have one.

Spruce up your porch, patio, or gazebo by hanging vibrant colored leaves and wheat sheaves. Add min-pumpkins along the walking path that bring a finishing touch to your extra room.

For inside your home, bring in the scents of fall with pumpkin pie, fresh pine, and cinnamon scented candles. These smells will create a warm and inviting ambiance.

Table centerpieces can get pricey so implement simple and attractive items including nice leaves, limbs, pine combs, and especially wild flowers from the outside. Keep it refined with fall colored cloth and place settings. Invest in a new rug or welcome mat with the colors of autumn and Thanksgiving.

Once the decorations are up, you can enjoy quality time with friends and family knowing you didn’t break the bank!
