Send Out Your Invites
Everyone is busy during the holidays, so if you want your besties to show up to your holiday gathering, you'll need to ensure they reserve the date. Get your holiday invitations out as soon as possible so that you give your guests plenty of time to plan and not make prior commitments.
Deck the Halls
You'll want to create a lot of holiday cheer, and you can do this by decking your halls and your spaces with wonderful holiday decor. Consider scented holiday candles, mistletoe, greenery, your Christmas tree, pumpkins, and more that can put a smile on your guests' faces. Check out our selection at our local lighting store today.
Plan Your Menu
You'll want to plan your menu in advance in order to ensure you have enough time to procure the items and not have to worry about supply. Be sure to consider all of the dishes, including main dish, side dish, and, of course, dessert.
Invest in Dining Room and Kitchen Lighting
The last, but certainly not the least, holiday essential hosting you'll want to consider is your dining room and/or your kitchen lighting. Take a hard look at your lighting scheme and see if there's room for improvement. Are there dark shadows anywhere you can eliminate? Or, is your dining room lighting outdated?
