Hosting a holiday meal\u2014Thanksgiving<\/a> especially\u2014is almost inescapably hectic. On top of orchestrating a multi-course feast for friends and family who hold comically strong feelings about every dish (see: canned vs. homemade cranberry sauce<\/a>), you also need to keep a house full of guests entertained as you tend to the bird, gravy, and fixings\u2014all while shooing everyone out of the kitchen.<\/p>\n

After all the effort you put into the meal, you should get to slow down and enjoy it, too. To find out how, exactly, one can stay calm in the eye of a feast\u2019s storm, I asked a few experts who spend their professional lives hosting and catering events. Here\u2019s how they set themselves up for success and minimal stress while entertaining.<\/p>\n

1. Organize Your Fridge<\/h3>\n

Julia Sherman, the L.A.-based author of Arty Parties: An Entertaining Cookbook<\/em><\/a>, is a seasoned host who throws dinner parties on behalf of brands like Maille. She often entertains at home, too, where she organizes her fridge according to her menu.<\/p>\n

\u201cI clear off one shelf in the fridge where everything for that meal goes, because otherwise, you always forget something.\u201d Even if it takes multiple shelves, the idea is to create a dedicated place for everything you plan to serve. Otherwise, the fresh chives meant to garnish your potatoes or the maple dressing for your roasted Brussels sprouts might be forgotten if they\u2019re scattered throughout the fridge.<\/p>\n
