Thanksgiving is a time for warmth, gratitude, and togetherness. As the holiday approaches, preparing your home and yard for guests can make the occasion even more special. Here's a guide to help you create a welcoming atmosphere for your Thanksgiving guests.

Front Porch Welcomes




First impressions matter. Start by decorating your front porch to set a festive mood.

Consider adding:

Seasonal Wreath: A wreath made of autumn leaves or pinecones creates a welcoming entrance.

Pumpkins and Gourds: Arrange a variety of pumpkins and gourds. They don't all have to be orange; consider white, green, or speckled varieties for visual interest.

Warm Lighting: Soft, warm lighting can make your porch inviting. Lanterns or string lights add a cozy touch.

Cozy Living Spaces



The living room is where your guests will likely spend a lot of their time. To make it cozy:

Throw Blankets and Pillows: Have plenty of comfortable throw blankets and pillows on your sofas.

Seasonal Decor: Incorporate Thanksgiving-themed decor like centerpieces and mantel decorations.

Candles and Scents: Scented candles or diffusers with autumnal fragrances like cinnamon or pumpkin can enhance the ambiance.

Dining Room Delight



The dining room is the heart of Thanksgiving. Prepare it with:

Elegant Table Setting: Use a festive tablecloth, fine china, and seasonal centerpieces.

Comfortable Seating: Ensure there’s enough seating for everyone. Consider adding a kids' table if needed.

Ambient Music: Background music can enhance the dining experience.

Guest Room Touches



If you’re having overnight guests:

Fresh Linens: Make sure the guest rooms have fresh sheets and extra blankets.

Welcome Basket: A basket with snacks, water, and small toiletries can make guests feel extra special.

Space for Belongings: Clear some closet space or drawers for your guests’ belongings.

Yard and Outdoor Spaces



Clean and Tidy: Rake leaves and ensure walkways are clear.

Outdoor Seating: If the weather permits, set up outdoor seating for guests to enjoy the yard.

Lighting: Ensure outdoor areas are well-lit for evening gatherings.

Preparing the Kitchen



Plan Ahead: Have your menu planned and groceries purchased ahead of time.

Cooking Schedule: Organize your cooking to ensure everything is ready on time.

Guest Contributions: If guests are bringing dishes, coordinate with them to balance the menu.

Preparing your home and yard for Thanksgiving guests doesn’t have to be stressful. With a little planning and some festive touches, you can create a warm and inviting space that your guests will remember fondly. Remember, the essence of Thanksgiving is about celebrating togetherness and gratitude, so enjoy the process of creating a welcoming environment for those you cherish. Happy Thanksgiving!

What my clients are saying  

Jessica has represented my wife and I as our real estate agent on both the seller and buyer side of the transaction four times, not to mention various occasions where she has referred us to other agents out of state. Her service, attention to detail and negotiation skills are impeccable. Jessica is definitely the "source of the source", whether that be a quick question regarding real estate, a contractor referral or a local spot, she is definitely a local expert. Any area of Phoenix metro or Arizona that we have expressed an interest in Jessica has not hesitated to explore with us. I recommend her 100%.

Jessica helped us find the perfect home for our specific needs! She is an absolute pleasure to work with and very passionate about what she does.
