Hosting with Style: A HARVIN Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a time to gather, give thanks, and celebrate with the people you love most, but who says it can’t be done with a little flair and a lot of personality? At HARVIN, we believe that holiday entertaining should reflect your style, your boldness, and a sense of fun that your guests will remember long after the last slice of pie is served. This year, we’re sharing how we bring the HARVIN signature twist to a classic Thanksgiving celebration, from the entryway to the dining table, the kids’ corner, and even the family game room.
A Warm Welcome
Your guests’ first impression starts the moment they step through the door. This Thanksgiving, Harvin embraces the personal touch with handwritten place cards elegantly arranged on the entry table. Each card is a little note of welcome, a detail that signals thoughtfulness before your guests even reach the dining room. Pairing bold autumnal accents with high-style details, the foyer becomes a teaser for what’s to come—a festive, curated experience that feels both warm and elevated.
The Harvinized Table
The dining room is where memories are made, and no detail goes unnoticed. Harvin’s round table is a masterclass in festive sophistication:
Centerpiece: A signature HARVIN centerpiece blends dried florals, long feathers, and whimsical figurines—unexpected textures and colors that elevate the table instantly.
China: Classic patterns take on new life with Spode and Mottahedeh, thoughtfully layered for depth and charm.
Glassware: Engraved pewter stemware adds a metallic gleam, while multi-colored glassware at the kids’ table keeps things playful.
Linens: Monogram-embroidered napkins fold the personal touch into each setting, paired with rich, layered textures.
This is a table that invites conversation, encourages laughter, and sets the stage for a meal that feels as beautiful as it tastes.
For the Young (and Young-at-Heart)
Who says kids can’t dine in style? Harvin’s approach to the kids’ table is all about cheerful energy and tactile fun. A fresh floral centerpiece in an heirloom engraved sterling silver vase anchors the table, surrounded by animal-themed candle holders, multi-colored glassware, and a vibrant printed tablecloth. This space is playful yet polished, ensuring little ones feel celebrated without compromising on style.
Entertainment Beyond the Feast
No HARVIN holiday gathering is complete without a little friendly competition—because what’s a family celebration without laughter, playful rivalry, and a few unforgettable moments? The family room is transformed into a vibrant game hub, featuring backgammon, Bingo for cash prizes, and whimsical challenges that spark joy for every age. Think gleeful cheers, triumphant high-fives, and spontaneous bursts of laughter echoing through the house. These games aren’t just diversions — they’re the heartbeats of connection, giving everyone a chance to pause from the feast, let loose, and create memories that linger long after the last bite of pie. Add a touch of Harvin-style flair with festive décor and themed prizes, and suddenly a simple game night becomes an experience guests will be talking about well into the holidays.
