Frequently asked questions

What is the best short Thanksgiving wish?

"Thankful for you, always." It's four words, works for anyone you care about and fits on any card or text.

What can I write on a Thanksgiving place card?

Use a short line plus the guest's name, such as "Grateful you're here, Maria." Keep it under ten words so it fits neatly.

How do you say Happy Thanksgiving in a unique way?

Try "Peace, pie and plenty to you" or "Full table, fuller heart." A playful twist on the usual greeting makes it memorable.
