SAS Interiors: Entertaining for the Holidays!

The tree is up....the decorating is complete...and now it's time to PAR-TAY!

Are you opening your home this weekend and entertaining for the Holidays? Whether you are throwing a party for 10 or 100 (or anywhere in between), entertain with style! Provide your guests with VIP treatment and pay attention to detail. But most of all, a great host is one that is relaxed and enjoys themselves throughout the party....everything else will naturally flow.

{WELCOME}

Decorate the exterior just as you do your interior.

Set the mood even BEFORE your guests ENTER!

{GREET YOUR GUESTS}

When hosting a party, it's easy to get carried away with making sure everything is perfect, and forget to actually talk to your guests. When guests arrive, personally greet them at the door to thank them for coming...take their coat and offer a beverage. It sounds so easy and so matter-of-fact, but it's often forgotten. Your guests want to know that you appreciate them being there!

Display food and drinks in a central location that can be easily accessed.
Nothing's worse than having all the food layed out in a cramped space and your guests are trying to climb over each other for a napkin!

Entertaining Decor Tips

Replace your bulky coffee table with multiple, moveable smaller tables.
Use trays to display food on your counter and table. This allows you to keep these surfaces clear and to move / rearrange easily.
Add flowers and natural colors, amongst your Holiday decor.
Don't forget the powder room (everyone will visit at least once). Add soaps, perfume, and plenty of toilet paper.

{PERSONALIZE}

Everyone loves to see their name and to feel important.
If you're having a sit down dinner, use placecards on the table or if a
cocktail party is your style, have a personalized treat for your guests as they depart.

{TASTY TREATS}

If you're not throwing a full-out dinner party, simple cocktail finger foods that can be easily eaten in one bite are perfect! Choose foods that are finger and fork friendly.
