For the past 12 years I’ve relied on this handy template when entertaining. No matter the occasion, big or small, this is the first thing I pull out. A little organization at the start saves frayed nerves on the day. Also, the other benefit is you have a record of what you served last time or who brought what last Christmas, and so on…
Feel free to tweak to your particular necessity.

That’s great Kathy, maybe I’ll print out some of those for when I entertain. Probably no more than 3 or 4 ought to do it. You are so organized. I used to love to plan parties and stuff, I think my quilting took over that other entertainment. You go Girl! Love it.
