Tips to Organize a Flawless Family Thanksgiving
Tips to Organize a Flawless Family Thanksgiving
Make a guest list.
Set up a Facebook or Evite event and ask people to RSVP by Facebook, email or phone. You’ll need a good idea of how many people are coming by at least November 17.
Create a detailed shopping list.
Make a note of all the dishes other people are bringing, then use your cookbooks to make a shopping list for everything else. Visit the grocery store at least a week in advance.
Put your friends and family to work.
Delegate food preparation, of course, but don’t forget about other activities like setting the table, ongoing dishwashing and cleaning up after the party. Put someone in charge of these activities and you’ll feel far less stressed.
