Make DIY Party Straws So Everyone Can Find Their Drinks
Instead of using place cards for the kid’s table, grab a pack of straws and print out cute little Thanksgiving graphics for some fun personalization they can use. Not only will this make your event more festive and fun, it will help everyone keep track of their drinks.
