With the holiday season upon us, many people are planning holiday dinner parties and other get togethers. Delicious food and plenty of conversation in a relaxed environment is a great way to celebrate this special time of year but getting prepared can feel overwhelming. Here are some tips on reducing the stress of your holiday dinner parties.

Make a checklist

Making lists helps get you in the right frame of mind about what needs to be done and when. Work on making a guest list first, then determine what you need to make the party a success. Perhaps it is getting the décor ready or shopping for ingredients for the meal. Get a checklist ready with dates that you need things completed to ensure you have everything done on schedule.

Clean and organize

Hire a housekeeper to do a deep clean of your home a couple of days before. Better yet, hire a long-term housekeeper that can keep up on weekly cleanings – before and after the holiday season.

Leave the cooking to the professionals

Hiring a private chef to take care of the menu planning, shopping, and meal preparation is the best way to wow your guests and alleviate the pressure you have on hosting a party. Our team at Household Staffing has a variety of personal chefs that are experienced and ready to get to work. They work with your specific dietary restrictions and can help you bring your dinner party vision to life.
