6 Top Tips for Seamless Hosting During the Holidays

#1 Cook Ahead of Time

First on our list is arguably the most important — cook ahead of time. Seamlessness requires preparation, so cooking everything you can before the big day is essential. Of course, you won't be able to prepare everything beforehand.

However, you can make casseroles, bake cookies, and marinate meats a few days before the event. This doesn't just save you time on the day itself, but it ensures you get to spend more time actually enjoying yourself, rather than serving.

#2 Spruce Up Your Home

Make sure the areas where your guests will be spending time are clean, tidy, and decorated for the holidays. You don't need to go crazy with the latter, but a few simple festive installations will give the day that quintessential Christmas feel:

• Remove Dust And Lint - Use a duster, lint roller, and vacuum to ensure all surfaces and floors are clean. You don't want any grime to come off on your guests' hands!
• Kid-proof Areas (If Necessary) - You don't need to spend money to do this. Instead, make sure breakable or sharp objects are put away.
• Be Strategic - If your guests are only coming over for dinner, focus your "sprucing" efforts in the dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and living areas.

#3 Stock Your Kitchen With Essentials

Before everyone arrives, make sure you have enough drinks and snacks to keep everyone's spirits up. Whether it's soda, water, wine, coffee, tea, breakfast foodstuffs, or something in between, ask your guests what they like and stock up on their favorites.

#4 Delegate Your To-Do List

It can be nerve-wracking to ask for help during the holidays, especially if you volunteered to host the celebration. However, there is nothing wrong with delegating tasks. Plus, your friends and family will likely welcome the to-do list items you give them. After all, they know you're taking on a huge responsibility (i.e., playing host). this year.

#5 Set Up Self-Serve Stations

Entertaining is much easier with self-serve stations since you won't have to spend most of the day/night catering to your loved ones' wishes. Choose an area where guests can mingle and help themselves with various appetizers and drinks. It'll keep everyone happy, and you won't need to constantly play and act as the ever-smiling server.

#6 Know Where To Turn When Money Is Tight

Playing host for the holidays isn't necessarily everybody's idea of a good time. However, money struggles can make it even harder to enjoy yourself. If you find yourself in the thick of a financial issue this Christmas, you need to know where to turn — and that's where we come in.
