Stress Free Party Tips

It's party season - here are my tips on enjoying the party and your guests!

1) Music - get in the party mood

2) Cocktails - a signature cocktail and wine instead of full bar

3) Food - make ahead as much as possible and not the time for trying new recipes

4) Candles - sets a festive mood

5) Simple Decorations - look in your pantry for what's on hand like marshmallows in my Wayfair.com cloche!

    We attended a small party yesterday...the first of the season. The hosts used a crock pot to warm cider...with a bit of Tuaca on the side for the grown ups, both adults and kids could enjoy a warm seasonal drink.

    Nice mugs. And Kevin, we hosted a little shindig yesterday with mulled cider on the stove - and rum on the side for the grownups. Also had a hot chocolate bar - with Bailey's on the side.
