Entertaining Essentials to Remember

Entertaining guests can be memorable, fun, yet overwhelming. In today's post I wanted to touch on some essentials to remember when planning your next hosting.

• Plan ahead: Make a checklist of everything you need to do before the event, including food, drinks, decorations, and entertainment.

• Hone in on your hosting style: Ever heard the saying "Everything ain't for everybody", well Don't try to do too much or create a complex situation if that's not your style. However, if it is, do it BIG!!! I've damn near been extra all my life so I like to create and experience whenever I can.

• Consider your guests: Keep your guests' preferences in mind when planning the menu and activities. Consider dietary restrictions and allergies, especially ALLERGIES, and plan activities that everyone can participate in.

• Create a VIBE: Make sure your guests feel welcome and comfortable by creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. You can achieve that through lighting, music, and decor. My general rule of thumb is that if it gives me the feels, my guests will appreciate it.

• Be creative with your food and drinks. Make sure there is enough food and drinks for all of your guests. Presentation is everything, so keep it cute.

• Be organized: Whether you write it down or keep it in your head. Keep track of what needs to be done and when, and make sure everything is ready before your guests arrive. This will help you stay calm and enjoy the party.

• Shit happens so have a backup plan: If something goes wrong, have a backup plan in place so that you can quickly resolve any issues and keep the party going.

• Most importantly -Enjoy yourself: Remember, the most important part of entertaining is to have fun and enjoy yourself. Your guests will appreciate your hospitality and the effort you put into making their experience memorable.

Now, get out there and create some core memories y'all!!

XOXO,
