Elegant Thanksgiving Invitations

Elegant Thanksgiving invitations for a dressed-up dinner: Harvest Table, candlesticks, small pumpkins and wheat along a table runner under a script Join Us for Thanksgiving, Wheat Monogram, a wheat-sheaf frame under You Are Invited, and Place Setting, a single plate with a leaf place card under An Evening of Thanks. Palettes run to Gold & Ivory, Burgundy & Cream and Cranberry & Gold. Type the hosts and the details, and print on heavy cream card stock.

Party tip

For a formal dinner, say what to wear and when you'll eat in one line: Place Setting's sample reads "Dressy casual, dinner at 6". Guests dress up when the card tells them to, and nobody arrives in a sweatshirt to candlelight.

How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Type the family or the couple under Hosted by, the time you'll sit down and the address; the back carries the details again with one practical line: what to bring, when pie is served, or that kids are welcome.

Pick one of the three harvest palettes drawn for the design, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG or a Word file. Every palette is drawn on light paper, so a stack prints without draining the ink. For more lines to put on the card, see the Thanksgiving invitation wording ideas and the invitation etiquette guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I print an elegant Thanksgiving invitation on cream card stock?

Yes. The designs are drawn on light paper, so they print well on ivory or cream stock. Print a test sheet first; the two-per-sheet PDF fits letter-size card stock.

Should a formal Thanksgiving invitation use "kindly reply"?

It suits an elegant card, and two of these samples use it: "Kindly reply to Clara by Nov 18". Every line is editable if you prefer RSVP.
