How to Print Thanksgiving Planner

You can print these on regular copy paper if you don’t have any heavier paper on hand. I recommend printing on these premium paper perfect for planners. It’s heavier than copy paper, put not so stiff as cardstock.

You are now all set for Thanksgiving!

Remember even with all your planning, cooking, decorating, it’s the people that you’re with that matters most. It’s ok if the turkey didn’t turn out the way you plan. It’s ok if you put gift tags or make party favors. Stay calm and enjoy the wonderful company!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
