I am linking up with Shay & Erika to share a few of my entertaining ideas!
Keep it simple. Do a meal that makes it easy to allow people to bring something to contribute. Guests almost always ask what they can bring to help; people like to help, so let them! I like do things like a taco bar, baked potato bar, soup/chili bar, etc. I always provided the meat & main items but if someone asks I’ll tell them to bring the lettuce, or cheese, or tomatoes, you know all the little topping things!
I always like to make dessert, it is just something I enjoy. However I also try to keep this simple, even the littlest things will wow people because who doesn’t just love a treat. I will usually make cookies or even a layered pudding type dessert.
We don’t use plastic silverware or paper plates normally but for entertaining I will because it is just easier & one less thing I have to manage! I’d rather enjoy our guests than have to be cleaning up during a get together.
Lastly I like to plan ahead by pulling a couple games out or organizing some festive games too! See this post for ideas when we hosted a holiday gift exchange with my besties & significant others.
Love the idea of fun games to mix it up. I am great at delegating stuff to other people to LOL
Delegating can be so hard for some people, glad it comes easy to you! 🙂
Nice pictures. Love a pot luck style get together, and great tip of using disposable dishes. My parents always use their stoneware so it’s more cleanup. But it’s their house…
Yes, potluck is the best! I used to use our nice dishes but quickly learned it wasn’t worth it to me so disposable works for now!
Love the idea of a taco bar- definitely need to try that! Those reindeer cookies are adorable- you make the BEST desserts!
Tacos are always a favorite!! Aw, thanks Holly 🙂
I love the advice, especially to keep it simple! The taco bar idea is so fun too!
Tacos for the win every time! 😉
