    My tip – Tossware wine glasses! You can find them on Amazon. They look like GoVino, but are way cheaper. You use them and then recycle them. Perfect for parties.

    Also, we just moved into a new place and I threw a party 4 weeks in. It forced us to get the basics in order and took the pressure off having a perfect house. No one was surprised to see the random box.

    I only use one wreath a year which is during the Fall. I highly recommend Ashley Nichole Designs for wreaths. Some of her stuff is wild, but come fall and winter it’s a litte more tame. The quality is superior to almost anything I have ever seen in a store. https://ashleynicholedesigns.com/collections

    Baguette has a spring birthday, so her annual party serves as our spring cleaning motivator. Later, during the summer, we tackle a particular organization project. Last year it was our not-an-office, and for the past year we’ve actually been able to use that room! This year, we’ll do a lot of filing and clear off some tables that collect massive amount of clutter.
