A few years ago I started a new thanksgiving tradition. Inspired by a friend, I adopted her tradition of writing a thank you card to everyone attending my thanksgiving dinner. Most of the time, I include encouraging words and a prayer for the holiday season. This allows each guest to feel loved and cared for beyond the dinner, and doubles as place cards and favors for the evening. Each year I come up with a handlettered design and this year I wanted to feature a more sophisticated color scheme with gray, copper, and white. Keep reading to make these beautiful cards.
