Thanksgiving Greeting Card Template

Whether you want to use this template to make cards for family far away or customize it to invite friends to your home for a holiday feast, this half-fold template is simple to personalize.

The front of the card displays a watercolor-like image of autumn leaves and fall fruits with, “Happy Thanksgiving” across the front.

The inside of the card has a text box into which you can type your own personal greeting or invitation. You’ll need to print the card using your printer’s duplex print option, if applicable. Otherwise, you can print one side, put the paper back into the printer upside down and print the other side of the card.

Thanksgiving Menu Template

Thanksgiving Menu

Once you decide which recipes to prepare, you can print up menus that are sure to wow your guests.

This template features the words “Thanksgiving Menu” in a special font across the top. Since it is not a standard font, the heading is actually an image, which means you cannot modify the text. However, you can delete the image and replace it with a text box if you wish to change the text.

The body of the menu is a table with one column and many rows so that you can type your meal details directly onto the page before printing it.
