Why Some Families Celebrate Thanksgiving Early

 

Recently, I was contacted by a customer who wanted custom Thanksgiving invitations and fall-themed home décor not in October or November, but in August. At first, I was surprised. But as we chatted, her story unfolded beautifully.



Her family had missed out on Thanksgiving gatherings during the pandemic, then her son was overseas, and this year, they decided not to wait. They’re hosting a full Thanksgiving dinner complete with all the trimmings before summer even ends. “We have so much to be thankful for,” she said. “Why not celebrate now, while we can be together?”

That sentiment resonated deeply with me. Gratitude isn’t bound to a calendar. Whether you’re celebrating in August, October, or right on Thanksgiving Day, the heart of the holiday is connection, reflection, and joy.

So, I got to work designing warm, welcoming invitations that matched their early harvest celebration. And it reminded me: if you're planning something special this fall especially custom invitations or seasonal décor it’s never too early to reach out.



 Thanksgiving orders are now open!
If you’re dreaming up a cozy gathering, a Friendsgiving feast, or a family dinner with heartfelt touches, I’d love to help you bring it to life.  View my template Thanksgiving cards andinvitations here.  

Let’s make this season one to remember for whenever you choose to celebrate.

Autumn Activities at Crystal Bridges Museum

 

 

We enjoy the fall season and find that Arkansas has many destinations that offer beautiful scenery.  If you like outdoor activities that Arkansas with 52 state parks has got everything from hiking, camping, horseback riding, boating, hunting and more.


 

This year we are visiting Bentonville Arkansas to view the Crystal Bridges art Museum and visit the Frank Lloyd Wright home that is located on the museum ground.  After viewing the arts, we plan to hike the 4 trails in the woods that surrounds the museum. 



The museum is located in the Ozark Forest and if you enjoy hiking know that it’s situated on 120 acres.  A few years ago I walked with my brother on the trails and at one point we did go off trail and found a natural stream.



We saw native plants and whitetail deer.  If your family enjoys nature, wildlife, hiking, art and making happy autumn season memories then you will enjoy spending the day in Arkansas at the Cristal Bridges Museum.  It offers fun activities for the  entire  family.
