Plan early and create your holiday menu weeks in advance, circulating it to your family for contributions.
Make a checklist to tackle tasks ahead of time instead of trying to complete everything on the day of the event.
Utilize lists for everything including groceries, guests contributions, and tasks to minimize overwhelm.
Prep as much as you can in advance, including freezing dishes that can be made without compromising their integrity.
Don't hesitate to ask for help; share the responsibilities of cooking, setting up, and cleaning with family and friends.
Use grocery shortcuts like frozen appetizers and pre-made ingredients to save time during preparation.
Keep it simple by scaling down the number of dishes to avoid waste and stress overloaded.
Set a warm atmosphere for your gathering by being intentional about the environment and welcoming your guests.
