Thanks for posting this, Melissa. I’ve been so stressed out trying to make sure everything is perfect, that I’ll probably be a nervous wreck on the day! There’s some great ideas in there, love the cranberries in the vase idea.

I’m stealing all of these ideas for my wedding. I love the cranberries suggestion — wonder if there are other things that would work if cranberries were out of season? Uh, peas maybe? That might actually be a little weird.

Asha, the progressive dinner is adults only.

But we do have a New Year’s Eve party with, last year, 17 kids. For that we don’t do sit down meals and we have one or two projects and fun things for the kids. For the most part they entertain themselves at the ages they are now.

This table is gorgeous! “Whatever gets done is what gets done” is great advice for holiday entertaining. Thank you!

Actually, here’s a question for you, Melissa. What do you do to entertain the kids during these parties? I assume it’s a mixed-age group — am I right?
