6 Tempting Ideas for the Best Holiday Dinner Party!

Entertaining during the Christmas season just got easier with this delicious holiday dinner party menu and table decorating ideas!

The holiday season is the perfect time to host a dinner party, don’t you think?

We never really need an excuse to entertain.

Although sometimes it’s hard to find the time to get together with our friends.

Everyone’s schedules can get a little crazy.

But when the holidays roll around we love to make time to celebrate!

If you’ve been around Simply2Moms for a while, then you know we’re part of a virtual “supper club” with some of our best blogging friends.

Each month we have a theme for decorating our tables and for our menu.

Did you see AnnMarie’s gorgeous tablescape for this month?

She created the centerpiece around this simple DIY craft project and it is simply elegant.

My jaw literally dropped when I walked into her dining room after she put it together!

And our five friends shared even more beautiful ideas for the holidays.

But today?

Well, today we’re all sharing some tasty holiday recipes.

In fact, we’ve got enough recipes for you to have a complete meal!

Just add in a simple tossed salad and you’re ready to wow your guests.

Welcome to Our Virtual “Progressive” Dinner!

If you’re new around here, we’re Anne and AnnMarie, two moms who are lucky enough to be besties and neighbors.

That’s AnnMarie in the white and Anne’s wearing black.

We work together to share simple and budget-friendly ideas for decorating, recipes, DIY projects, and tips for life with older teens (and beyond!).

You can read more about us and our families over here.
