6 - Keep food and beverages simple.
Sweet AND savory is the key here. Re-plating store bought items is OK.
The more complicated dishes such as quiche, tarts and the ever so time
intensive macaroons is perfectly acceptable and on a pretty dish with a
festive table, no one will be the wiser.
7) Don't over spen d on seasonal
decor.
Use what you have and fill the rest with simple
purchases from Target, Dollar Tree, even IKEA.
