Host a holiday dinner

A big table without the big stress.

Holiday dinners are about who’s at the table. Nail down the headcount early and let everyone bring something.

Tips

• Confirm the headcount two weeks out. An RSVP-by date keeps the grocery list accurate.
• Share the menu in the plan. People can claim dishes in “What are you bringing?”.
• Set times in the plan. Arrival time and dinner time are different. Say both.
• Plan for leftovers. Ask guests to bring a container.
