Hosting Holiday Parties
With the holidays rapidly approaching, it is expected that we will be hosting friends and family for get togethers and parties. We actually won’t be hosting anyone for Christmas as we are headed out of town, but we most likely will have our close friends over for New Year’s Eve. It’s become a tradition the last few years to spend New Year’s Eve with these friends and we always have a great time eating, visiting and playing games. Frito Lay sent us this awesome basket and The Last Minute Party Girl which has great tips and recipes to prepare for upcoming parties. The basket of chips are already half gone thanks to hubby and a couple of cute little boys. I am going to make a bean dip for New Year’s Eve, so I guess I’ll have to head to the store to get more chips for the occasion.

Tips for a Successful Party
Frito Lay offers some great tips and advice when it comes to hosting your own party:

Ambiance is everything – Keep a playlist of festive music easily accessible or stock the stereo with CDs so it’s ready at the push of a button…literally. Add a few scented candles and presto…instant ambiance!

Let guests add their touch – Keep a box of ornaments on hand and ask your guests to add one to the tree.

No clean-up necessary – Stock-up on a supply of holiday-colored paper plates, napkins and utensils to lessen post-party clean-up. And if the house is tidy before you head out for the day, there’s no scrambling once they arrive!

Stock the pantry – Have some “better for you” Frito-Lay products on hand to lessen the stress of “what to fix?” and allow for more time to visit with your guests. Frito-Lay’s Tostitos Scoops or Baked! Scoops — with a delicious dip — are true crowd-pleasers. Serve on a festive platter or dish and presto! …festive snacks ready to share!

Entertain with ease – Always have several fun board games accessible to keep guests entertained. And a few kid-friendly movies or simple crafts will keep the little ones busy while the adults socialize.

One of my favorite tips from above is making sure that you are stocked up on paper plates, napkins and utensils. Makes easier clean up and less headache!
