  3. Set up a location where guests can hang up coats, jackets, and put their wet boots and shoes.
  4. Give any rooms a quick cleaning touchup a day or two before.
  5. Start cooking and preparing any food items you can a day or two in advance.

Holiday Party

  1. The day before your party, set up the dining area with plates, glasses, and silverware. For casual gatherings, consider using eco-friendly disposal products to save on cleanup.
  2. Organize home entertainment systems and TV remotes by placing them on top of or in front of the device they control in case your guests want to use them.
  3. The morning of your event, finish cooking and preparing the rest of the food.
  4. A few hours before guests start arriving, start reheating food you prepared in advance, and start setting out any nonperishable food items.
  5. Set out any remaining food about fifteen to thirty minutes before guests arrive.
  6. Relax and have fun at your party!
