The holiday season is here, and for many, Thanksgiving is the opening act. At Blanchard and Calhoun Real Estate Company, we know that a home is more than just a property—it’s where life’s most cherished moments happen. That’s why we’re bringing you this guide on hosting a Thanksgiving dinner that will make memories to last a lifetime.

Plan Ahead

Organization is key when hosting a Thanksgiving dinner. Create a timeline, noting when each dish will be cooked and what needs to be prepped in advance. Make sure to account for oven space and time.

Set a Beautiful Table

First impressions last, so make sure your table setting is inviting. Use a clean tablecloth, polish silverware, and consider some Thanksgiving-themed decorations for added flair.

Have a Diverse Menu

Not everyone has the same taste or dietary needs. Make sure your menu caters to vegetarians, kids, and other special dietary requirements. This not only shows that you care but also makes the meal more enjoyable for everyone.

Enlist Help

Don’t try to tackle everything on your own. Whether it’s setting the table or peeling potatoes, don’t hesitate to ask family or friends for help. Many hands make light work, as they say.

Don’t Forget the Drinks

From wine pairings to non-alcoholic options, a well-thought-out drink menu can elevate your Thanksgiving dinner to the next level.

Create a Festive Atmosphere

Background music, scented candles, and warm lighting can make a world of difference. The goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels at home.
