Deck the Halls<br />
4 Tips for Effortless Entertaining<br />
by KERRIE L. KELLY, FASID<br />
When it comes to the holidays, I’m always looking for a thoughtful,<br />
polished aesthetic that’s simple to put together <strong>and</strong> any type<br />
of shortcut that allows for effortless entertaining. Read on for<br />
my favorite holiday hacks that enable you to have a stylish yet<br />
stress-free, beautiful season.<br />
1<br />
INVEST IN INVITES<br />
Personal paper invitations via<br />
individual cards or boxed sets are always<br />
best. While digital invites are convenient,<br />
a paper invitation makes guests feel<br />
special. What’s more, they set the tone for<br />
your event <strong>and</strong> add a personal touch for<br />
those receiving them. Coordinate<br />
stamps for the season <strong>and</strong> send off.<br />
Outside of food prep (<strong>and</strong> I say enlist a<br />
caterer or incorporate some ready-made<br />
foods!), this is the most difficult thing<br />
you’ll do in preparing for your party—it’s<br />
all downhill from here!<br />
2<br />
DRESS (THE TABLE) TO IMPRESS<br />
With sweet, nostalgic charm,<br />
elements of holiday<br />
collections can be styled<br />
multiple ways to achieve<br />
many different looks. A<br />
palette of traditional reds,<br />
greens, <strong>and</strong> jewel tones<br />
quickly creates a playful<br />
yet sophisticated<br />
vibe—perfect for an<br />
elegant Christmas<br />
dinner or vibrant<br />
holiday party. Reusable<br />
