Entertaining with Ikea for the Holidays

Sometimes holiday entertaining can feel stressful. The holiday season is hectic. All we want to do is spend some time with family and friends celebrating, but the idea of putting together a gathering can seem a little daunting. In my book Picture Perfect Parties, I teach you how to produce your own gatherings like a pro. By being prepared, organized, and thinking ahead, you can make party planning an easy and creative endeavor.My friends at IKEA always have a great assortment of "Party Pantry" essentials making entertaining with IKEA easy. It's one of my favorite go to places to prop shop and to stock my own "Party Pantry." Basic yet festive is the key in putting together a fantastic assortment for your collection.Check out these beautiful flutes; gathering them on a tray would be beautiful. Add a sprig of rosemary to some sparkling Rose with a few pomegranate seeds, and you have an instant holiday cocktail. Next, place a warm round of Brie cheese with french bread and fig spread on an IKEA sparkly tray, and you have a party just like that. Remember parties do not have to be complicated if you have the right essentials like flutes and trays.Head over to IKEA and stock up for your holiday gatherings. Think ahead and parties will be a snap.xx, Annettephotos courtesy of IKEA
