Tablecloth - or Heirloom?

When you set your Thanksgiving table – don’t forget the pens!

How would you like to start a modern family heirloom? Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity – and all you’ll need is a plain white tablecloth and some pens. Before the meal begins, ask everyone to write down something they’re most thankful for this year – then sign and date their message. If you use indelible fabric markers those messages won’t wash out. The idea is to add to the tablecloth each year. Any kids at the table are bound to get a kick out of their thanks as they get older – not to mention future generations. A light colored cloth table runner is good alternative to the table cloth idea – or if you’re setting more than one table.
