Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, the biggest meal of the year. And while you may be more concerned about what you're putting on your plate (the turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, for starters), you shouldn't forget about decorating the table itself. Hear us out: With the right place cards, tablecloths and Thanksgiving centerpieces, you can easily elevate your dining room, so that it feels fit for such a special occasion.

No matter if you prefer subdued or maximalist table settings, we've got you covered with plenty of easy and affordable centerpieces that are guaranteed to fit in with the rest of your Thanksgiving decorations. Some of the foliage and flower-focused centerpieces are versatile enough to work for any fall celebration, but there are also several ideas that highlight what the November holiday is known for: gobbling turkeys, beautiful cornucopias, wheat stalks and lots of dried corn. Even the most elegant ones on this list are super simple to DIY — just be sure to give yourself plenty of time to gather all of your supplies before the Turkey Day madness hits.
