We have a huge family with lots of brothers, sisters, nephews, aunts, you name it. We often make dinner for a dozen people and Thanksgiving is usually at least a 20-person affair, if not 30 or 40. So, planning is something we have to do if we want everyone fed and happy on Thanksgiving Day.
It's best to start a couple of weeks in advance. How many people are coming? Do you need to borrow folding chairs? How much turkey and pie will you need? Check out this turkey size calculator https://www.inchcalculator.com/turkey-size-calculator/ for a rough idea. As for pie, well you can never have too much of that! You can look up serving sizes for almost any dish you're going to make, so you can see how much you'll need.
Remember you can't do it all alone, at least not without having a nervous breakdown. Assign guests to bring different dishes. They will usually offer. Have people bring their specialty dishes. Each family has it's own take on Thanksgiving dinner, and you want to make them feel at home with their own comfort foods. Write it down, so you don't forget who's bringing what.
Keep track of everything on your to-do list and have a separate to-buy list or shopping list you can mark things off of. It helps if you put due dates on things to keep yourself on track.
