Posh's Trends for Holiday Entertaining:

The Holidays are fast approaching, are you already making your list and checking it twice?

Holiday entertaining can be so much fun when you're the guest, but if you are responsible for planning an event, it can be a bit overwhelming. Here are a few of Posh's favorite tips for your holiday entertaining.

1. An 'ode to the invitation.
There's something to be said about a tangible hand written invitation in this age of email blasts and texted invites. While electronic save the dates are a great and frugal way to go, spend a little more time on the invitation and the impression you make will go a long way.


2. Enlist the use of color to bump up the ambiance. (This will set the mood to whatever you want it to be: festive, chic, romantic or cozy)
Color can be brought into an event in many ways. From the very first contact an attendee has with the event - the invitation - to linen choices, china, flatware and crystal, guest gifts or favors, centerpieces, menu cards and thank you notes. Color is the single most important element for setting the scene.

3. Keep it simple, classy and elegant.
This year, think less is more, with smaller, more intimate parties focusing on a few modest décor elements that actually make a statement and mean something to your guests. If budgets are an issue, consider spending where it matters most, on an elegant menu, simple yet colorful decor, and classy entertainment (think single saxaphone player versus five piece band.)
