Presentation Pointers:
- Label your dishes so even the picky eaters and vegetarians will know exactly what is in every dish. It doesn’t have to look fancy, just make sure it’s complete.
- Serve some delicious apple cider, but also make sure to have the typical drinks available, like soda, wine and beer.
- While your guests can help by bringing sides, appetizers and desserts, the host should make the turkey. Not only is it tough to move the bird around, but they also take a while to cook. If you’re nervous about making it yourself, have a close friend come early to help.
