Small Apartment Thanksgiving Hosting Planner | Printable PDF for Renters

Hosting Thanksgiving in a small apartment? This planner makes it feel easy. It fits everyone at a tiny table, works with one small oven and keeps your security deposit safe.

Made for renters and first-time hosts, it takes you from three weeks out to the last container of leftovers. Count back from serve time so the turkey, sides and pie don't fight over one oven. Sketch your drop-leaf or folding table on a 1-ft grid, see how many seats you can really fit, and track who's bringing what so nothing doubles. Every decor idea is no-nail and renter-safe.

Print it at home on US Letter paper (ink-light design, looks great in grayscale), or fill it in on a tablet.
