Get creative Thanksgiving tips and ideas

The HP Creative Studio offers many free Thanksgiving and fall-themed invitations and greeting cards that are easy to personalize.

Add elegance to your party by sending festive invitations. With free, personalized cards from the HP Creative Studio, like the Shared acorn 4" x 6" Thanksgiving invite, you can save money and avoid the tedium and writer’s cramp of hand writing on store-bought invitations.

Getting that store-bought look

• Use a thick, quality paper, like HP Brochure and Flyer paper and Original HP ink, which are designed to work in tandem to deliver vivid and long-lasting results.
• Double-sided printing makes invitations look professional. However, with the heavy paper used to create quality invitations, it’s important to use manual duplexing, even on printers that feature automatic double-sided printing.

In addition to invites, the HP Creative Studio also offers greeting cards, like the Thanksgiving bounty ½ fold card, perfect for sending warm wishes to friends who might miss the Thanksgiving feast.

The HP Creative Studio has many fun, printable holiday decorations, like the Thanksgiving turkey centerpiece.

Print a whole party with HP Creative Studio party kits, like the Autumn bounty Thanksgiving kit.

From centerpieces to Thanksgiving party kits, the HP Creative Studio has decorations to keep you—and your party space—covered when you’re entertaining.

Centerpieces
Print the Give thanks table decoration for a colorful, creative centerpiece or to decorate an entryway. For something more interactive, try the Thanksgiving turkey centerpiece, which invites guests to share what they’re thankful for.

Party Kits
For cohesive décor, try one of the many free downloadable party kits, like the Autumn bounty Thanksgiving kit, which includes votive candle wraps, napkin ring place cards, gratitude garland—and instructions for setting it all up!

Printable décor tips
Many decorations also make terrific party favors when the celebrating is over. Try the Thanksgiving kids table kit, which includes puzzles, coloring placemats, and more.

HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One, support this feature.

Thank your host or hostess with a photo card, like the Modern stitch work 5" x 7" thank-you card. Make it specific to Thanksgiving by choosing photos from the celebration or dinner.

When printing thank-you cards, make sure to use quality paper like HP Brochure and Flyer paper. It’s thicker than plain paper and specially coated for printing on both sides.

Taking the time to send a thank-you note embraces the true purpose of Thanksgiving.

If you have a pack of HP Brochure and Flyer paper and the link to the HP Creative Studio, you’ll always be ready to create the perfect thank-you note.

Thank-you card ideas

• Take pictures during the holiday and, afterwards, send them in a photo thank you card, like the Modern stitch work 5" x 7" thank-you card or the Paper orchid ¼ fold thank-you card.
• To make your photos pop, use the glossy version of HP Brochure and Flyer Paper, specially coated for two-sided printing.
• Did a guest compliment you on a specific dish? Send a personalized, fall-inspired recipe card along with your thank-you! For quality, smudge-free cards, try HP 4" x 6" Photo Paper.
• Is your child sending a thank-you? The Busy bees ½ fold thank you card is a great way to send a buzz of thanks. This card features enough space for non-writers to scribble or draw their gratitude next to your printed words.
