Hosting Thanksgiving?

Let’s make it elegant, effortless, and just the right amount of cozy. Here are a few tips to keep things stress-free:

  1. Plan Ahead – Do as much as you can the day before (set the table with linens and candles, cook desserts or mashed potatoes)
  2. Delegate – No one said you have to do it all. Let your guests contribute something special. Ask them to bring a favorite side or dessert.
  3. Keep It Simple – A well-curated menu is better than a crowded one. Choose dishes that everyone will love.
  4. Don’t Overthink It – Not sure what to use for a centerpiece? Layer some tea light candles for a cozy ambiance that makes for easy conversation.
  5. Welcome Deep Breaths – Take a deep breath, the more relaxed you are, the more your guests will feel at home.
  6. Don’t Forget A Playlist – We put together an Autumn Playlist for you and your guests to enjoy.
