Thanksgiving Free Printable Planning Resources
Thanksgiving Day will be here soon. That thought can be both exciting and stressful. We have created for you a nice, simple, and easy-to-use Free Printable Guide to a Stress Less Thanksgiving.
I have been hosting Thanksgiving in my home for more years than I care to admit. Over time, I have developed some tricks to make the big day less stressful. I am sharing those with you. My biggest piece of free advice is simple: Plan ahead.
Are you looking for a Thanksgiving menu you can follow without figuring out any of the dishes yourself? Here ya go. It’s my go-to Thanksgiving menu, southern food, complete with recipe links.
What you will find included:
- Stress Less Thanksgiving To-Do Checklist. This list begins 3 weeks before Thanksgiving. Working ahead will relieve the stress of having too much to do at one time.
- Guest List with sections for names, contact info, what they are bringing (If anything), and how many are in their party
- Menu List broken down into categories to help you balance the meal.
- Grocery Shopping List. You don’t want to realize on Thanksgiving morning that you forgot a key ingredient.
- Home cleaning list. Of course, we always like to make sure our home is nice and clean before guests arrive.
I have created a small notebook with my Stress Less Thanksgiving Planning Guide. I use a small three-ring binder so I can add these printed pages. I insert the printed pages in plastic page protectors. That allows me to use wipe-off markers so I can reuse them each year.

Hi Shirley. I just wanted to let you know that you are being featured on my Fan Friday Blog Crush tomorrow. Congratulations! The post goes live at 6:00 a.m.
WoW! Thank you so much Regina! I’m heading over there now. Looking forward to the Virtual Craft Fair!
Hi Shirley. I have had a rather chaotic time recently and hadn’t had a chance to check this out. What great tools you have provided. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. And thanks for the tip on the you tube videos to learn how to make printables.
Thank you for stopping by Regina. If not for You Tube, I would never be able to figure things out, such a great tool for assistance!
Thanks for sharing on Family Fridays Link Up Party!
Thanks, Carli. I’ll be back 🙂 I get lost in blog hops, so much fun.
This is fabulous! So much pressure is put on everyone to have the ‘perfect’ meal. Any little tip or shortcut is sure to be useful.
Thank you. We do have to share those short cuts with one another, that is where the BEST ideas come from!
Fantastic tips! I can’t believe it’s coming up so fast… ~Renee
I know, it seems like Easter was just a few short weeks ago!
Awesome! You have done a great job! Note to self, figure out how to do printables. 🙂
Three words…You Tube Videos! I had to watch the same one’s repeatedly to learn to do the Printbles.
