HOLIDAY HOSTING TIPS FROM
THE EXPERTS AT BOXWOOD HOSPITALITY
Holiday parties don’t have to feel overwhelming! To help you host with ease and grace, we’ve gathered our top 5 tried-and-true tips for creating a memorable celebration at home—
straight from the experts on our boxwood team.
-
Don’t do anything that is stressful to you as the host! It’s hard for your guests to enjoy their time if they can sense you are stressed! Hosting should be fun – both for you and the people you are hosting!
-
Greet guests with a holiday-themed signature cocktail (blood orange Old Fashioned, anyone?) or a big-batch punch. It’s easy, elegant, and oh-so Southern.
-
If someone offers to bring a dish, let them! Aunt Betty’s famous side dish is always a win, and it lightens your load.
-
For lingering guests, serve coffee or a last round of drinks with a slice of pie. It’s a polite (and delicious) way to wind things down.
-
If your entree burns or the dog eats a guest’s pie, just laugh it off. Southern charm is all about making people feel comfortable, not perfect.
