Thanksgiving Entertaining Ideas

October 31, 2017 By miraclemethod

Hosting the holidays doesn’t have to be stressful. With a little advanced preparation, you can feel relaxed this holiday season, even if you’re hosting Thanksgiving! Here are some Thanksgiving entertaining ideas to help you prepare for the holiday season.

Tablescape

Pinterest has a plethora of creative ideas for seasonal table settings. By incorporating natural elements like tree stumps, pine cones, pumpkins and squash, you’ll create an affordable yet seasonal tablescape. Unleash your creativity this holiday season!

Meal Plan

Sit down about 3-4 weeks out and put together a meal plan. Search websites like www.recipes.com and Pinterest for new recipes to mix things up a bit. Instead of only using the same recipes you used last year, try something new! Serve homemade apple sauce instead of cranberry sauce, or make stuffing from scratch instead of using a boxed mix. Proper planning gives you more time to try out new recipes without stressing out!

Be sure to test the recipes in advance. Don’t wait for the big day to try a new recipe. If you’re thinking about trying a new recipe, give it a test run before the holidays arrive. You can make a smaller batch for the first go-around to make sure it’s something you want to serve to guests.

Prepare for Your Guests

Assign Dishes to Guests – Once you’ve made your meal plan and collected all of your recipes, assign small side dishes for your guests to bring. One guest can bring the sweet potatoes, another is assigned green bean casserole, beverages or dessert. This way, your guests will feel like they are contributing and there is less for you as the host to do.

Cut Coupons – Pretty much all grocery stores have specials during the holidays. Watch the free circulars that come in your mailbox and buy non-perishable items in advance when they are on sale. Search online for digital coupons and subscribe to the free rewards program for the grocery store you most frequently shop with to take advantage of preferred customer pricing.

Make it Memorable – Create simple notecards for everyone to jot down what they are thankful for, then go around the table and share. This will create lasting memories and meaningful conversation. For more ideas on bringing “thanks” to your thanksgiving table, click here!

Buy Affordable Containers for Guests to Take Home Leftovers – There are always plenty of leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner. In fact, many people prefer the leftovers to the meal on the actual holiday. Prepare by picking up inexpensive semi-disposable containers from the dollar store so that your guests can take home various entrees and side dishes (and don’t forget dessert!) to enjoy later. This way, you’re not sending everyone home with your good storage containers that you may or may not ever see again.

Preparing Your Home for Holiday Guests

October 24, 2017 By miraclemethod

Hosting guests for the holidays? It’s never too early to start thinking about getting your home guest-ready for the holiday season. Use these tips to make sure your home is welcoming for family and friends this season.

Spruce up the Bathroom and Kitchen

Is the grout in the bathroom stained to the point where you can no longer get it clean? Do you hate the color of your bathtub? Are you tired of looking at those green laminate countertops in the kitchen? Refinishing is a cost and time-effective alternative to traditional remodeling and you can have your bath or kitchen looking modern and fresh before holiday guests arrive. Holiday guests give you a good excuse to make home updates that you’ve been putting off for years!

Clean Out the Coat Closet

Toss any worn out jackets and sweaters that have holes in them or with a broken zipper and donate anything that isn’t being worn to make room for guests to hang their coats up during their visit. Make sure you have plenty of hangers on hand and add a room deodorizer to the closet so that it smells nice and fresh.

Create Ambiance

Turn on some holiday music, light a few candles and dim any harsh lights. When guests arrive, help them hang up their jackets in the coat closet and offer them a beverage. If you have a no shoes policy in your home, have a few pairs of new socks in different sizes so your guests can keep their feet warm.

Get the Guest Room Ready

You don’t have to spend a lot of money on décor or fancy linens to spruce up your spare bedroom for holiday guests. Simply give your bedding a refresh in the wash, add an air freshener to the room and even place a vase of fresh flowers to the side table. If you want to be extra courteous, print out your wifi name and password for guests.

Put Away Anything Private

Get organized, before your holiday guests arrive. Be sure to file away any personal paperwork and clean out your medicine cabinet. Check each of the rooms in the house for anything lying around that you don’t want made public. After all a tidy home is a happy home!

Check Light Bulbs

When preparing your home for holiday guests, make sure all your light bulbs are working properly. To check, take a walk throughout the house, as well as out front and back. If the light bulbs are not working, make a list of sizes you need and stock up before guests arrive. Additionally, add a night light to the hall way between the guest bedroom and guest bath.
