Are you hosting Thanksgiving dinner? This can be a huge task that can take days of planning if you are hosting a large group. Even if your guest list is small, a lot goes into pulling off a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner that everyone can enjoy. I’ve created a Thanksgiving Dinner Planner Printable to help keep everything organized.
You need to plan the menu, do the shopping, prepare the food on the right timeline, and make sure it is all hot when you finally sit down at the dinner table.
You may be assigning guests to bring specific dishes, and you will need to keep track of who is bringing what. After all, you don’t want to forget any critical part of the meal, such as the pumpkin pie!

- A Thanksgiving candy bar wrapper – you can print this out as many times as you need for how many guests you are having. Simply cut them out and wrap them over the original wrapper of a chocolate bar (leaving the original wrapper on). You can then place a candy bar on top of each plate to take home as a favor for your guests.
Use it as Reference for Next Year
You can fill in this planner and save it for next year for reference. It will make your life so much easier to have everything in one place instead of scattered on different scraps of paper throughout your home. You will be able to reference it year after year. Why reinvent the wheel when you don’t have to?
The task list will allow you to easily assign tasks to different family members to keep track of who is responsible for what. For example, if your daughter is in charge of setting the table, put that on the task list with a time of when this should be completed by. You can easily reference this list to ensure you are on track with everything that needs to get done.
You can also use the task list to keep track of who is bringing what. If your sister is bringing the mashed potatoes, put it on the list and know that it is taken care of.
