We're thinking about doing either or... either way, we're probably going to do mini-pies for favors, and incorporate a lot of fall colors and such. The main difference would probably be that if we did Halloween we would have it on Halloween Eve and probably have pumpkin centerpieces w/ candles in them, if we had it Thanksgiving themed, it would be sometime in November and we would have perhaps an apple themed centerpiece.
We're having a lot of kids, so we don't want it to be too 'spooky' or anything. But we might be having it at a castle (haven't booked a RH yet) so I think that would add to the 'spook' factor if it were Halloween Eve. We also might be 'forced' into Thanksgiving since at most places we've visited, November prices are a bit nicer to us. However, we may have the option.
What do you think? Any suggestions for either idea?
Just wanted to update and say that if we did Thanksgiving theme, it wouldn't be on Thanksgiving, just at some point in November (1st wknd, 2nd wknd, whenver)

I voted Halloween, because I LOVE Halloween-its my favorite holiday and there is sooo much you can do with a Halloween theme. I wish I could have a Halloween wedding (can't due to FH's schedules).

Re: Halloween or Thanksgiving?
what do you mean by theme? Would you have pilgrims and Indians around your rh or will you be doing more of a fall colored them with fall leaves, hay stacks and cornucopias?

Nonono, no pilgrims & natives. It's mainly going to be a fall theme, but I want to have hints of either Thanksgiving or Halloween. If we did Halloween, maybe we'd have some candies on the table, if we did Thanksgiving we wouldn't. We want it to be subtle but noticeable.
Also, if we chose October 30th to get married, I feel that it would become Halloween by default. So if we don't want a Halloweeney feel, we don't want that date.
