If you are looking for easy Thanksgiving centerpiece ideas, I came across this simple but absolutely stunning idea from Martha Stewart for the perfect Thanksgiving centerpiece, gourd candles.

Gourds are perfect for any Thanksgiving centerpiece or decoration. The gourds themselves are beautiful fall colors and come in a variety of shapes and size. Tonal colored candles of different heights really add the perfect dimension to the centerpiece and creates a warm, friendly setting to any meal or celebration.

How to Calculate How Many Drinks You Need for A Party

Question:

We’re hosting an “after the performance” party for approx 350 people that should last about an hour (beginning at 9pm) for people who will probably not drink very much.

I’m stymied as to how much of each beverage to provide. We’ve limited the menu to: champagne, white wine, Pellegrino water, and soft drinks. Can you help with the numbers?

We will have savory and sweet passed hors d’oeuvres.

Many thanks.

Answer:

Beverage consumption varies quite a bit depending on the age and gender of your guests, but general rule-of-thumb is two drinks per person per hour. . . . → Read More: Cocktail Party Guide
