Thanksgiving Place Cards, Personalized Secret Code Name Cards, Printable Kids Table Game, Friendsgiving Decor, Food Labels, Instant Download

No more "Where do I sit?" This Thanksgiving, every guest cracks a secret code to find their seat!

Each place card shows a guest's name in a secret code. Guests grab a decoder card from the table, work out the letters, and hunt for the card with their name. Then they peek inside the fold to check. It gets everyone laughing and talking before the first bite, and the kids love it.

PERSONALIZE IT
★ Up to 24 guests, listed in seat order
★ Your family name on the welcome sign and on every card
★ Pick the code:
Number Code: A is 1, B is 2, C is 3
Mirror Code: the alphabet flipped, so A is Z and B is Y
Leaf Hop Code: every letter hops one step, so A is B
Secret Symbols: a picture instead of a name, for little ones who can't read yet
★ Mix and match: give the little ones a symbol (pumpkin, owl, turkey, pie and more) while everyone else cracks the code
★ A thankful question hidden inside each card: a different one on every card, your own question, or none
★ Food labels for up to 24 dishes, with an optional note like "Made by Aunt Linda" or "Gluten free"

WHAT'S INSIDE
