We have a couple of holiday parties we will be hosting and I always make it easier on myself by making it a potluck so that I don’t have to do all of the cooking in addition to the decor and prep. I make sure it all works together by having a list of items we need and friends choose from that. Makes it less stressful and more fun!

My favorite place to shop for party decor is Ikea. They are seriously cheap, and have tons of fun stuff, espcially if you think outside the box. I especially love their glass plates, and coffee mugs/teacups?, they’re even cheaper than buying the disposable stuff.

One of my best friends and I have an annual cookie making tradition where we spend a whole day baking and decorating around 200 sugar cookies for friends and family. They’ve all come to expect it, and it’s a great way for us to catch up! And there’s a little store called Papertown where we get a bunch of cute bakery boxes and raffia to tie everything up and make it pretty!
