Entertaining

Learn simple strategies for entertaining and how to host effortless but meaningful gatherings and create memories with your family and friends.

You love entertaining, but the idea of trying to put something together just now is overwhelming. Maybe you’re feeling uninspired. Maybe you feel like your house just isn’t ready.

No matter what it is that’s holding you back from entertaining, I have a challenge for you: do it anyway! Opening up your home in spite of the “mess” is one of the true signs of friendship. Chances are, it’s only you who sees the imperfections anyway!

Once you’ve overcome that hurdle, these posts feature simple and achievable ideas for entertaining your family in friends. You can focus less on worrying and more on making memories!

Whether it’s for a holiday, seasonal celebration, a special milestone, or just an everyday dinner party or tablescape— we have something for all of those occasions!

Entertaining printables are some of our favorites since they give you an inexpensive way to bring a fun and personal touch to your entertaining. You’ll find several of those below!

Above all, our philosophy is that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel or break the bank to be a good hostess, building a small inventory of essentials and bringing in natural seasonal touches is the best way to create a tablescape or event.

We hope that you are inspired and encouraged by these entertaining ideas! If you end up putting them into practice, make sure to tag @ninahendrickhome on Instagram to show us your event.
