Here are 3 Tips for hosting a Thanksgiving gathering! Enjoy!
1) Plan with love - as you make your guest list, keep your special loved ones in mind. Have a hot cocoa bar set-up with marshmallows, and mugs. Also, have holiday music playing, candles burning (winter scents), and show a holiday movie. Lastly, set out small guest favors your guests will appreciate you).
2) Create a beautiful table setting - choose plates that follow theme of the holiday season. I prefer China, however, if you go with paper plates, choose plates in warm rich colors. Have pretty napkins pre-folded,and carefully select beautiful stemware, flatware, chargers, and a stunning centerpiece. Lastly, for a special touch, place little thank you cards at each place setting . This let's your guest know how thankful you are for them.
3) Cook from the soul - as you prepare your menu think about your guest that have special diets ( Raw, Vegan, Diabetes, ect) always make a few extra dishes for them ( don't leave them out). Don't be afraid to think out-of-the-box and prepare "non-traditional" thanksgiving foods! However, you plan your holiday celebration, just plan from the heart!
