Best Party Tips:

*Lucite trays - personalizes a party and you can use them for drinks or for cheese and crackers. You can order one HERE.

*For Thanksgiving personalize the table with place cards and photos. 

*Fresh cut flowers are a must and add autumnal color to Thanksgiving Table.

*If you don't have a bartender, then fill a tub with ice and an array of cocktail choices.

*Being a fashionista, Kerri had to add that the hostess must wear a favorite and fabulous dress!

Thanks for the great ideas, Kerri!
