Theme submitted by Joey, St. Louis, Missouri

Everyone knows someone who deserves our thanks. To show your appreciation for someone special, host a gratitude gathering. This simple party theme is a great way to say “thank you.” If a person did something nice for you or for a worthy cause, make them the guest of honor and invite friends and family to thank them.
Make a cake with a thank-you message and serve light refreshments. For added tribute, show a photo montage of the person or ask guests to write thank-you messages in a book to give to the guest of honor.
Decorating Ideas:
- Make a banner or pennant that reads “thank you.”
- Frame photos of the guest of honor for tables and walls.
- Stamp “Thank you” on napkins for an added touch.
