thanksgatheringI am betting that I am not the only one with Thanksgiving on my mind. A successful dinner takes a lot of work and a lot of planning. So this is the time to start getting all the details nailed down.

We recently talked about making a list of things you have to do when getting ready for the big day. I think it’s just as important to make a plan for how the day will come together.  I find that breaking the day down makes things seem a little more manageable. Here’s what my day will look like-

Day of:

  • Early prep
  • Pre-dinner appetizers/drinks
  • Heavy cooking
  • Dinner
  • Coffee bar
  • Dessert
  • Clean up

I also identify ways to delegate tasks to help make the day go smoothly. For example, I can’t handle coffee service while I am finishing up the desserts. Instead, my mom will get the coffee set up while I get the desserts ready. Having a specific goal and timeline for the day means that I can see when I am running behind and also helps keep me on course to host a successful event.

Of course I’ll know the day was a success when I reach that final task—the clean up! Often that’s when the real work begins. After all, when families gather, things get messy!â„¢ Luckily, SC Johnson has tons of great products to help create a Happy Thanksgathering.
