It’s almost time to start entertaining for the holidays, which makes this the perfect opportunity to put together your plans. Whether you typically host large parties, or smaller get-togethers, there are scads of great holiday entertaining tips meant to help you pull off any size event without a hitch. These are just a few of them!
Holiday Entertaining Tips
Set Things Up the Night Before
By doing things such as setting the table the night before and placing extra toilet paper in the bathroom, you’re putting much less stress on yourself the day of the party. Depending on how much you get accomplished, the food and beverages may be the only two things you have to worry about the next day.
Consider an Alternative to Candles
A wonderful alternative to expensive candles are products you probably already have in your kitchen. I’m talking about things like apples, oranges, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. It’s super easy to simmer these ingredients in a crock-pot filled with water. Another option is to toss a handful of cinnamon sticks and pinecones into the fireplace.

Establish Your Holiday Playlist Beforehand
Don’t wait until the last minute to establish a holiday playlist. Give yourself a few days to decide what songs you want to include. Music is an important part of any holiday party. Some party planners say the music you choose can even make or break your event. Who knew, right?
These holiday entertaining tips are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to seasonal get-togethers. Remember, the worst thing you can do is wait until the last minute to get things done. In this case, advanced planning and using a holiday planner are definitely a must!
I can’t believe it’s Christmas already. Definitely planning on my holiday entertaining.
Great tips, the only thing I really do that helps is prepare as much as possible in advance, including cleaning.
Great tip!
