thanksgiving dinner entertaining decorating and food ideas?

this is my first thanksgiving at my house, and i’ll have both sides of the family there, but it won’t be very big, only 10 or so people. any ideas to make it memorable? things that are budget friendly will help too. thanks!!!!

Ask each person to bring some object that is important to them. At dinner each one gets to show and tell. You may be surprised at what they bring and the stories that come out!

Hey, I think I’ll have to use this idea on my party blog.
