Is It Too Late to Plan a Holiday Party? (Here’s the Truth)

November 26, 20251 min read

Hey Hosting Queen,

One month until Christmas! 🎄 Did your heart skip a beat… or are you doing the happy dance right along with me?

If you’ve been dreaming about hosting a holiday gathering but feel like time has gotten away from you, here’s the good news: it’s not too late.

✨ Small or simple gatherings can come together beautifully in just a few weeks.
✨ Larger gatherings are best with 4–6 weeks of planning.

Either way, you still have time to host with intention — without losing your sparkle.

Now, if your stress levels are rising and you’re wondering how you’ll pull it all off, take a deep breath, Queen. I’ve got you.

Here are a few ways we can make it easier:

👑 Plan Like a Queen (1-hour session): Perfect if you love hosting but tend to get lost in the details. Together we’ll create a simple, clear plan so you know exactly what to do (and what to skip — like those 6-ft matching ice swans).

👑 Done-With-You Deluxe: Ideal if you want guidance and direction along the way. I’ll be right there with you, helping you create something beautiful and stress-free.

👑 Signature Party Planning: If time is short but your sparkle is high, let me handle everything. You bring the vision, I’ll take care of the rest.

The holidays come once a year, and it’s not too late to make this one meaningful, cozy, and joyful. Let’s see how we can bring your vision to life. Book HERE
