Have you been awarded the honor of hosting a holiday get-together this year? Maybe it\u2019s an honor you didn\u2019t actually ask for, or perhaps you\u2019re embracing it with open arms. Either way, opening your home to a crowd of guests can be stressful. Follow these tips to make hosting fun and simple.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Tuck away extra furniture.<\/strong>\u00a0If you have any bulky pieces of furniture that don\u2019t add any seating or table space\u2014e.g., planters or standing decorative pieces\u2014put them in a spare room for the party. You\u2019ll be able to squeeze more people into your home, and the guests will have an easier time navigating the apartment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Clean thoroughly.<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s probably obvious that you should clean before having a large group of people over for dinner, but when you\u2019re hosting a holiday party, go the extra mile. Don\u2019t just pick up and vacuum. Make sure you mop the floors, dust every surface, and give the bathroom a thorough scrub-down.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Organize your kitchen.<\/strong>\u00a0When you\u2019re cooking for a crowd, it\u2019s always easier to do it in an organized kitchen. But there\u2019s extra incentive to get your kitchen in tip-top shape when you\u2019re hosting a party. The kitchen will likely become a space where people hang out, so use the counter as extra space for serving appetizers and drinks. Stow anything that\u2019s normally on the counter away in a cabinet to free up space.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
