Shutterfly Party Decorations Infographic

With holidays around the corner, now is a good time to brush up on the latest party tips. Let's face it, many of us struggle with what to do when Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's rolls around.

Here are a few examples from the graphic:

Living Room:

Be neat but not too neat – it should look lived in

Create a theme – perhaps “Memory Lane” and have everyone bring their favorite picture

Dining Room:

Consider serving all appetizers – they’re easier to prepare and finger foods foster mingling

Create one-of-a-kind coasters

Bedroom:

If using your bedroom for coats, make sure the bed is made and put recent photos of a trip on an end table as a conversation starter

Kitchen:

Ask your guests about food allergies – this will make them feel safe and welcome
