When you have a large number of guests coming to your home for Thanksgiving, you may want to create some Thanksgiving place cards and assign your guests a place to sit. This will prevent chaos and even give people a chance to speak with someone they may not know so well. On the flip side, you can avoid arguments between people you know who don’t get along by sitting them apart from each other!
