Organized Holiday Entertaining Tips

Entertaining | Organized Entertaining | Blue + White 

‘Tis the season to celebrate with family and friends. I love to entertain especially during the holidays.  December through January my family celebrates: birthdays, Christmas, and New Years.  I have fond memories of my mother hosting my father’s birthday dinner on December 22nd, Christmas Eve, Christmas, and my birthday on December 27th.  

I learned from the best, my mom, how to honor the magic of the holidays and birthdays while staying organized.  I am so grateful she taught me art of planning and paying attention to details.  I was blessed to have my daughter, Brooke, on January 7th.   Marking the first week of January the end of our birthday + holiday season.

Here are a few tips to keep holiday entertaining organized and stress free.  

An organized hostess is a happy hostess!

My new obsession to keep my life organized especially during the holidays is Prime Now.  Prime Now has made my shopping for holiday entertaining easy.  I love the convenience and 2 hour delivery option.


I create a theme each holiday and decorate with that in mind.  This year I selected white hydrangeas, magnolia leaves, eucalyptus and oranges to compliment my Blue + White Ginger jars.  I celebrate Christmas and New Years Eve with formal china, silver, and white linen napkins.  Hester & Cook placemats honor the chinoiserie holiday theme.


On Christmas Eve I love to present my guests with small gifts.  These little surprises also act as place cards.


Christmas and New Year’s Day are more casual at my home.  I continue the theme by using the existing floral arrangements, placemats, and napkin rings.  China and linen napkins are replaced with Blue Splattered Paper Plates and Napkins from Geese & Ganders.  https://geeseandganders.com/




Birch Wooden Deluxe Utensils from Geese & Ganders are simply stylish.

I love to offer my guests small beverages with paper straws.  It’s casual + fun!

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!  An organized host is a happy host!
