Make a plan. Now I’m not the best at this, but I will say it does make things simple.

Dishes that can be made ahead of time will let you have more time to enjoy the party. Some of my favorites:

Have your guests bring their favorite side dish, ice, drinks, paper plates and napkins. It’s a good idea to delegate and everyone is always glad to pitch in.

Keep decorations simple. Sunflowers are perfect for summer, so bright and cheerful.

I don’t get too carried away with cleaning before a party. I make sure the powder room is tidy, put away any clutter, sweep the floor and I call that good. If you are relaxed, your guests will be too.

  1. These look so delicious. I haven’t made these yet but plan to. I’m just commenting to let you know your instructions say to add shredded chicken instead of shredded cheese.
