Holiday Hosting Guide: Tablescapes and Napkin Folds

Are you hosting this year? Me too, and I'm already planning the table! Thanksgiving, Christmas dinner or a holiday brunch with friends, I love having every idea in one spot so the night before is easy.

So here it is. Set the table, finish the napkins, light the candles, and you're ready for guests. Yes, please!

Pumpkins as vases, log slice candleholders and gold napkins with little pumpkin rings. These Thanksgiving tablescapes give you a harvest table your family will be taking photos of before the turkey even lands.

Evergreen runners, white tapers in metallic holders and red napkins tied with tartan ribbon. These Christmas tablescapes go from full and festive to calm and simple, so there's a look for every dining room.

Twine and cinnamon sticks, striped ribbon, bright red linen with white berries. These Christmas napkin folding ideas take a minute or two per plate and make every seat look finished.

Want folds you'll use long after the tree comes down? These napkin folding ideas, from fan folds to a fresh sage tuck, work for brunch, birthdays and every get-together in between.
