Thanksgiving is a time to bring loved ones together, and hosting in your apartment doesn’t have to be overwhelming. These tips will help you create a festive and stress-free holiday.
Create a Prep Timeline
Start planning early! Break tasks into smaller steps—shop for ingredients a week ahead and set up your dining space the night before to reduce last-minute stress.
Simplify the Menu
Keep your menu simple and delicious. Stick to tried-and-true recipes, and opt for dishes that don’t require too much cooking time or oven space.
Use Multi-Functional Decor
Let your decor serve double duty. For example, a basket of fresh apples or a bowl of nuts can act as a centerpiece and a snack station.
Make the Most of Your Kitchen
If your kitchen is compact, prioritize oven time for main dishes and use slow cookers or stovetop burners for sides. Keep serving platters near for easy transfer.
Engage Your Guests
Turn your guests into helpers by assigning fun, interactive tasks like mixing cocktails or assembling appetizers. This keeps everyone involved and lightens your load.
