Holiday Hosting Survival Guide for Busy Moms
From prep hacks to cheeky details, here’s how to host the holidays without losing your mind (or your sense of humor).
The holidays are magical and let's be honest…exhausting! Between cooking, cleaning, gift wrapping, and not forgetting to hide that elf on the shelf every night hosting can feel like another full-time job! Here are our tips on surviving (and even enjoying) holiday hosting this year.
1. Prep Early, Breathe Easy
Do as much as you can ahead of time. Chop veggies, grate cheese, chill wine + sparkling water and prep garnishes the day before
2. Delegate Like Santa
Guests love to help and you shouldn't feel guilty letting them! Assign side dishes, wine, or dessert.
3. Create a Table That Does the Talking
A chic table makes guests feel cared for the second they walk in the door. Our embroidered napkins—‘Oy Vey’ for Hanukkah, ‘Please Leave by 9’ for Christmas instantly spark laughter, breaking the ice and taking the pressure off everyone at the table.
4. Keep Humor Handy
Hosting doesn’t have to be picture perfect. Let us help you embrace the chaos with details that wink at it.
