Everyone at Paper so Pretty loves Christmas!
To continue with your Christmas in July theme, here are a few tips on planning the perfect holiday dinner party.
Planning a menu and an entertaining evening with guests can be quite intimidating. But with some planning, you will have a wonderful time at your own party!
First decide on the date of your party, guest list, and theme.
Make a realistic assessment of your cooking and baking skill levels, and the time you'll be able to commit to the party. A sit down dinner party is more formal than a buffet, so think carefully about what type of party makes you the most comfortable.
Get ready to make lists! Once you have the basics well planned and written down, your mind will be free to be creative with the food, fun, and decor.
Make your guest list and invite them. Be sure to send your invites well in advance. Because December calendars fill up so quickly, try to get your invites into your guests' hands before Thanksgiving.
Plan your menu and take inventory of your supplies. Make sure the things you own are sparkling clean.
Think about how you want to decorate. Decorations for a party can be as simple as candlesticks on the table, or more elaborate streamers, flower arrangements, tablecloths, and even chair slipcovers.
