Be a Better Host for the Holidays 5 Simple Hacks for Party Success
3. Manufacture coziness like a Realtor . “The aroma of something baking in the oven
The holiday season is always heartwarming, but it can also be the most chaotic time of the year. If you plan to host friends or family and aren’t sure where to start, use these five simple tips courtesy of Allison Bonacquisti, Eventique’s holiday event expert. 1. Hunt for inspiration. Level up your basic holiday event with a cohesive theme, color scheme, or message. Allison recommends browsing Pinterest or flipping through articles in magazines and online publications for inspiration. Pay special attention to the photos, and choose a few that resonate with you. When you land on something that “sparks your creativity and imagination,” run with it. 2. Create a prep calendar . “Sit down and plan out the logistics to make sure you have everything you need before the event,” Allison says. “Think about buying decor, lining up catering, or preparing dishes in advance. When are you going to do those things? Do you have enough oven space for everything you want to cook? Grab a calendar and plan out when and how you’ll take care of each thing on your list. That way, you won’t end up frantically trying to figure out what you’ve missed.”
makes people feel welcome,” Allison says. She recommends baking cookies as guests arrive or using an old Realtor trick: Add two teaspoons of vanilla extract to a coffee mug and bake the mug at 300 degrees for one hour. 4. Invest in champagne. Guests will want something to sip on, and champagne sets the perfect celebratory tone. 5. Don’t forget the finger food . “If I’m hosting friends or coworkers, I like to share things from my childhood that other people haven’t really experienced,” Allison says. “My mom makes sausage and cream cheese-stuffed pepper bites that I think are just delicious.” Mine your past for finger foods, whip up something that fits your theme, or stick with classics like crostini, deviled eggs, or bacon-wrapped dates. If you do these five simple things, your holiday event will be an oasis in the season’s chaos!
