Tips for hosting:
As a hostess, I always recommend making ‘samples’ of crafts a day or two before the party. Not only does this help you avoid any difficult steps, but having the finished version on the table acts as a visual guide and ‘confidence booster’ for your friends who might say, ‘I’m not creative!’
Additionally, to keep the night stress-free, ‘kit’ the supplies in advance in small baskets so everyone has what they need. This keeps the table organized and ensures that the night is focused on conversation, and not on the hunt for supplies.
