200+ Thanksgiving Chalkboard Ideas Worth Copying

Thanksgiving chalkboards work best when the wording is simple. A short line beside the pie or a quick welcome by the door can be enough.

You do not need to fill the board from edge to edge. One good line, written large enough to read from across the room, usually looks better than a crowded list.

Choose the phrase that sounds most like your family, write it your way, and leave the rest alone. A chalkboard can be a little uneven. That is the whole point.

For more seasonal inspiration, take a look at family captions, apple cider captions, and Thanksgiving wishes.
