Personalized Entertaining for a Crowd

If you like to plan ahead, then you're already thinking about family and friends visiting for the holidays and wondering how you are going to feed and entertain them. 

When our family and friends visit, we like to make them feel special with personalized or custom experiences when we can. (Some years we are just happy if we don't burn the turkey!)

One year we got matching plastic Christmas cups from Target and used our Cricut to cut out vinyl names. It wasn't expensive, but each little cousin had their own cup with their name on it, and they thought it was awesome. Plus, it saved a lot of washing up. 

For a classier option, try mugs or glasses with names.

One of our favorite wood lasered crafts we've made for Thanksgiving dinner is personalized napkin rings. These are something we use year after year. They function as napkin holders and place cards. 

If your family and friends are staying for an extended time, a personalized pillowcase would look great on their bed (or air mattress.) If you don't sew, don't worry. Amazon has got your back.

For reunions, T-shirts might be the way to go. Assuming you know everyone's size.

We have a fairly large extended family, so one year we got draw string bags for everyone at the reunion--no sizes necessary. We later personalized the bags with names written nicely in permanent marker.

Let us know what special things you decide to do for your family in the upcoming holiday season in the comments section!
