5 Tips for Hosting Thanksgiving Dinner

Plan - Plan ahead when it comes to your guest list (and potential surprise guests), dinner menu, and decor.
Setting the table - Set the table the night before. This will ensure you have one less thing on your plate when the day rolls around, making it a more enjoyable and inspiring experience.
Cook Ahead of Time - Make as much as you can leading up to Thanksgiving. Preparing dressings, gravy, and soups is a great place to start.
Ask for Help - Most people realize that hosting Thanksgiving dinner can be an overwhelming experience (especially if it's your first time), so don't be afraid to ask for help.
Stick to what you know (or what is reasonably within your scope) -- This isn't the time to start experimenting with new or complex recipes. ;)
