Thanksgiving Table Decor

Make personalized pots of herbs for place settings: Buy small herb plants from a grocery store or garden center and replant them in miniature terra-cotta pots. The pot pictured is trimmed with gold paint and the name is written in permanent black marker, but you can choose colors to match your decor.

As you prep Thanksgiving dinner, set aside leftover herbs to use for place tags: Just tie them together and attach a name tag to each.

Show just what a party planner you are and have a wineglass monogrammed for each guest. You'll need to order them at least a week ahead of time — all the more incentive to nail down that guest list.

Make personalized wine charms with paper key tags from a hardware store. Write each name on a tag, then just slip the ring around the stem.
