THANKSGIVING DAY

Save your energy and enjoy your Thanksgiving Day with family and friends by breaking down your to do list into several days of manageable tasks!

THANKSGIVING MEAL PLANNER

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, it’s time to think about all of the little details it takes to put together and host a successful and delicious Thanksgiving Dinner for your family and friends. There are so many things to prepare, clean, shop for and set up that it can become really overwhelming. So using a Thanksgiving Meal Planner is a great way to organized yourself and the things on your giant to do list!

You can break up your to do list and do a little bit in the weeks leading up to the big day so that you work on things in small and manageable tasks one at a time. This way you won’t be stuck with a million things to do in a short amount of time, leaving you exhausted and grumpy.

For example get your table and seating arrangements all planned out ahead of time. Know how many place settings you need. Get your silverware polished and make sure your table linens and napkins are washed and ironed and ready to go. Decorate your space a couple weeks ahead so that is all ready to go. Prepare your guests rooms and get the house cleaned the week before your guests start arriving. Make any food preparations several days ahead of the big day, so you don’t have to worry about it the day of.

If you sit down and write out what needs to be done, you will be able to prioritize what needs to be done on Thanksgiving Day, and what can be done early so you can get it out of the way. Plan out what recipes you are going to be using and write up a shopping list so that you don’t end up running back to the store because you forgot to pick something up!

MEAL PLANNER PRINTABLES

You will be so glad you planned ahead and had this handy Thanksgiving Meal Planner to help you out! Then you will have the energy to enjoy your friends and family while enjoying your Thanksgiving Dinner! It isn’t fun if you work yourself so hard you can’t enjoy the Holiday!

The following items are included in our Thanksgiving Meal Planner:

November Calendar– Record all your big “to do” items on this so you can see at a glance what your month is going to look like and can plan ahead for what is coming! The calendar does not have dates so you can download and use it every year. We included a very simple plain calendar and a prettier version.

Guest List– Keep track of each guest’s name, invitation sent, RSVP received and number in the party attending. There is also a section for the final guest count of both adults and children.

Menu– This page has sections from appetizers to dessert for each course of your dinner. Use this to plan and reference all the items you will be serving so nothing gets left off the list like your Grandmother’s favorite casserole dish!

Guest Special Diet/Allergy Information– Use this page to record any special information you need to remember for each specific guest that will be attending. There is a section for any diet or allergy restrictions and substitutions.

Guest Travel/Lodging Information– There is also a section for special contact and travel information for out-of- town and overnight guests so it is all in one convenient location if things get a little hectic.

Potluck List– Use this page to keep track of which guest is bringing each dish. There is a section for each type of menu item so you can quickly assess where you may have an overabundance or need to supplement.

Recipe List– Use this page to list all the recipes you will be using for Thanksgiving. There is also a section to note the source for each recipe so you can find them quickly when starting to cook. You can even print out or gather all the recipes beforehand and keep a copy of them right in this planner.

Serving Dishes– Use this page to assign an appropriate serving dish{es} for each menu item. There is also a section for the serving utensils to be used. Knowing which serving dish matches each menu item ahead of time eliminates the last minute rush of looking for dishes. You may also realize you might need to pick up (or borrow) another serving item or two.

Tablescape– Use this page to plan your tablescape. There are sections for noting your theme, color scheme, linens, centerpieces and candles that you will be using. There is also a helpful section to sketch your ideas if that is helpful for you to visualize it.

Seating– Use this page to plan out the tables and chairs you will be using. Note the shape and dimensions of each table, number of seats per table, and if you need booster seats/highchairs. There is also a notes section, an area to sketch your layout and for quick reference – a final chair and table totals section.

Invitation– We have included an easy to print Thanksgiving Dinner invitation if you would like to formally send an invite to your guests.

Place Settings– Use this page to plan out the place settings and arrangement for each table. Tally up the dinnerware, glassware and cutlery that you will need. There is a section to sketch the layout, and also sections for the number of guests at the table and the table description.

Turkey Timeline– This page will help you to calculate all the factors for cooking the most perfect turkey possible.

To Do Timeline– Use these two pages to track all your to-do items up until the big day!

To Do List– This page is a line by line to-do list. Remember to check off each item as you complete it. Print it as many times as needed if you want to make a few different lists to tackle all you have to do.

Notes– A general lined page for jotting down notes. Print as many times as you need for all your preparations.

Shopping List– Use these two pages to write up your master shopping list. The pages are divided into grocery sections to make the whole experience easier so you don’t forget an important item…like butter! ;)

Follow Up Notes for Next Year– Use this page to record the whole planning/serving experience. What do you want to repeat next time, what do you want to improve upon, what didn’t work and what are some new ideas to try?
