Gather together outdoors.
Thanksgiving is a time for gathering with loved ones, sharing gratitude, and indulging in delicious food. But this year, why not take the tradition outside and celebrate Thanksgiving on the patio? Hosting outdoors offers a fresh way to connect with nature and adds a festive touch to your meal. With our premium outdoor furniture and tabletop decor, setting up a comfortable, beautiful Thanksgiving table is easier than ever. Here’s how to create a stunning Thanksgiving feast with essentials designed for convenience and style.
Start with a Cozy Patio Layout
The key to hosting Thanksgiving outside is setting up an inviting patio layout that feels just as welcoming as your dining room. Start by choosing the ideal dining set for your guest count. Our outdoor dining sets come in configurations that can seat four to ten people, providing options for intimate gatherings or larger family feasts. If you expect additional guests, consider our expandable outdoor dining tables and stackable dining chairs for added flexibility—expand it for the big meal, then tuck it away afterward.
Plus, our stackable outdoor chairs allow you to easily add or remove seating based on your guest list without taking up too much space when not in use. These chairs are lightweight and portable, making it simple to reconfigure your setup as needed.
Choose from our outdoor furniture selection, including classic teak for a warm, rustic feel, durable aluminum or cast aluminum for a classic look, or polymer and wicker for a casual and comfortable vibe. These materials can be mixed and matched for a unique Thanksgiving tablescape that reflects your personal taste.
Try pairing a sturdy teak dining table with aluminum chairs, or blend wicker seating with a cast aluminum table for a charming, eclectic feel. Whatever your vision, our wide range of options lets you design a space that’s both functional and full of character.
Style Your Tabletop with Stress-Free Tabletop Decor
No Thanksgiving feast is complete without a beautifully styled table! Our range of tabletop decor is designed to add flair while keeping things functional. Choose from shatterproof, dishwasher-safe dining plates, placemats, drinkware, and serving trays that offer elegance with a side of easy cleanup—perfect for the holiday season when you want to spend time with family, not doing dishes.
Opt for autumn-themed colors like deep reds, warm oranges, and rich browns to create a seasonal color palette. Our outdoor dining plates and placemats are available in styles that pair beautifully with natural settings, and the shatterproof quality means you won’t have to worry about accidents during your outdoor festivities. Complete the look with our durable, stylish drinkware, which will handle anything from wine to warm cider.
Add Seasonal Decor to Enhance the Ambiance
Thanksgiving outdoors provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the beauty of fall. Enhance your patio with seasonal decor that complements the natural surroundings. Think about using pumpkins, gourds, autumn leaves, and even bundles of dried corn to create a rustic atmosphere. Consider setting up a vase with seasonal flowers like mums or dried wheat for a fall-inspired centerpiece. Their durability and easy cleanup make them ideal for an outdoor setting and environmentally friendly.
String lights, lanterns, and outdoor heaters can also make the patio feel cozier and more welcoming as the sun sets. If you’re hosting a late afternoon meal, a few flameless candles or outdoor LED lights can add a soft, glowing ambiance to the table, enhancing the mood and making your gathering feel truly special.
Keep Everyone Comfortable with Thoughtful Touches
Thanksgiving is about creating a memorable experience, so don’t overlook small details that add to your guests’ comfort. Consider adding throw blankets to each seat so guests can stay cozy even if temperatures dip. Our stackable chairs pair well with throws and outdoor cushions, adding warmth and extra comfort for the entire meal.
Enjoy a Hassle-Free Cleanup
Once the feast is over, you’ll want to enjoy more time with friends and family instead of spending hours cleaning up. Our tabletop decor is designed with this in mind. Since all our dining plates, drinkware, and placemats are dishwasher-safe, you can simply load them up and get back to enjoying your evening. The shatterproof quality also means you can transport them back indoors without worrying about breakage, making your post-dinner cleanup a breeze.
For added convenience, our stackable chairs can be easily stored, and our expandable tables can be adjusted to fit smaller spaces, keeping your patio neat and ready for any future gatherings.
Gratitude is in season.
This Thanksgiving, bring family and friends together for an unforgettable outdoor experience, with everything you need to host with ease, style, and confidence. And don’t forget to savor the moments—and the flavors—that make this holiday so special!
