Tips for an Easy Thanksgiving Party

Thanksgiving is less than a week away and, if your procrastination level is at “second-year college student,” then you are probably stressed out beyond belief. You have so much to do and don’t know where to start. Well, don’t worry because Kingston Brass is here to help you. Whether you are hosting or helping out the host, we have some tips for you to create a calm and easy Thanksgiving. Go easy on yourself and allow for some time to simply enjoy the holiday.

Don’t try for perfection

Learn to embrace the imperfection for a less stressful and more meaningful holiday. Don’t try to recreate that magazine level table settings or achieve a too-high expectation. It’s not worth your peace of mind, so focus on what a happy thanksgiving day really feels like to you.

Preparation as Much as Possible

The Vintage Soap Dispenser provides a cleaner look in the kitchen by allowing users to keep soap dispensers off the counter. Easily dispense soap with the push-down mechanism while adding a stylistic flair to your traditional home.

Set Up Stations Outside the Kitchen

The kitchen can get crowded and, if you are cooking, it can be near impossible to get it done with a crowd around you. So, to keep things easier on you, try setting up drinks and appetizer stations outside of the kitchen. Set up the appetizers on smaller tables around the guests and keep the beer and drinks in a chilled cooler near them.
