While hosting a dinner party can seem like a daunting task, there are many easy ways to transform your home and treat yourself and your guests to a cozy evening in your abode. Not sure where to start? We consulted professionals in

interior design, florals and event planning for their top tips on hosting at home. Whether you want to decorate with unique flower arrangements or set up a bar with custom cocktails, you’ll be able to host a stylish evening at home that will have you eagerly looking forward to the next one.

INVITE YOUR GUESTS Once you’ve set the guest list, you’ll want to give your guests plenty of notice so they can save the date. According to Becky Navarro, founder of Pearl Events Austin, “Invitations should go out two to four weeks before the event depending on the formality of the event.” She notes that the invitation should set the tone for the dinner’s formality and attire, so consider whether you prefer a digital invite (for less formal gatherings) or a mailed design. >>

A DV E R TO R I A L

Fitzhugh Brewing is all about inclusion, welcoming beer newbies and aficionados alike. ALL are welcome, so we hope you’ll come kick back and enjoy the Texas Hill Country with great food and cold drinks. Our beers are unique and inspired by global destinations, but our dedication to finding and honing recipes of the past is what sets us apart. We’re recognized for our old-world beer styles and recipes, and for creating classic or forgotten beers with a fresh take. We’re excited to welcome our newest staff member and head chef, Andrew Lange, to the Fitzhugh team. Since childhood, Chef Andrew has been passionate about the culinary arts. Growing up in central Texas, he developed a love for Mexican cuisine and barb-que. At 16, he began cooking at a small scratch steakhouse in rural Minnesota. He then returned to Austin to attend Le Cordon Bleu Academy of the Culinary Arts. Since then, Chef Andrew has honed his culinary skills, and since joining us, he has re-vamped our menu. It now boasts favorites like the Texas Hot Chicken Sandwich, fried fish tacos, bacon cheddar burger, and pork belly with a bourbon glaze and roasted jalapeno sauce. He’s excited to join the Fitzhugh team and create one-of-a-kind experiences for our guests. For our fall events schedule, check out our social media. 15435 Fitzhugh Rd, Dripping Springs, TX 78620 fitzhughbrewing.com


USE YOUR SURROUNDINGS If your dining room is your go-to, think again. Weather-permitting, your outdoor space is actually a great spot to host guests for a dinner alfresco. “Use your backyard as a serene setting to balance formal dining with outdoor grilling,” suggests Raquel Skrobarczyk, owner and principal of Heather Scott Home & Design. According to Josy Johnson of Wild Vine Floral, you can source décor from your surroundings as well. “Visit your own yard for a branch or a humble native plant to bring texture and interest to your home arrangements,” she advises. “Or, ask a neighbor who gardens if you could have a few snips of something unique. You’d be surprised how generous gardeners are as they usually like to share.”

SHOP YOUR SPACE

PERSONALIZED TOUCHES Because you’ll be entertaining at home, it never hurts to add a few personal touches to your dinner party to make it all the more special. Skrobarczyk recommends small monogrammed napkins, but you can also consider place cards or personalized menus at each seat.

While hosting a dinner party can seem like a daunting task, there are many easy ways to transform your home and treat yourself and your guests to a cozy evening in your abode. cocktail glasses and napkins, you can even take it one step further and design a menu with options for your guests.

GIFT YOUR GUESTS CREATE A BAR Whether you want to serve a signature cocktail or just want a spot for guests to grab a refill, Skrobarczyk recommends setting up a bar cart near the dining area. “A bar cart is always a favorite stylish way to give your guests an area to serve themselves a refreshing drink.” In addition to putting out

Though it may be hard to top the party itself, you can consider gifting your guests with a small token to end the evening. According to Johnson, “Keep in mind that it’s fun to give away flowers at the end of the night to your guests, or maybe just to those who stuck around and lent a hand cleaning up. Giving guests beautiful flowers will make your party memorable.”

You may not realize it, but you may already have all the décor you need right at home. According to Johnson, you can use old pitchers or mason and jam jars to display florals on the dinner table and throughout the entertaining space. “Check out local antique or thrift shops nearby for interesting finds as well,” she says. “Vessels or vases with a similar color theme can help tie a color palette together, especially if they are of various heights and sizes.” Once you’ve found your vessel, be sure your floral arrangements aren’t taller than six inches so guests will be able to see each other across the table.

MINDFULNESS

during a single breath cycle. Anytime you can take even one slow deep breath, it’s a good thing. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to really feel calm, however, so setting a timer for two minutes is a good practice throughout the day to reset.

2. Mindfulness Practices A good mindfulness practice is anything that puts you into a calm, meditative state. One great way to achieve this is by communing with nature. Studies show that simply walking in the forest is calming to us. Our nervous system relaxes when we are surrounded by nature. You can take a forest walk to feel the serenity of the trees or a lake stroll to feel the hypnotic trance of the water lapping at the shore. Or, you can simply sit on a porch swing

gazing at the stars and letting the motion relax you. Even going out in your yard or visiting your neighborhood park and walking through the grass can help. Any way that you can immerse yourself in nature can help to increase mindfulness and turn off the stress response. The second way to create mindfulness is meditation. If you’re a beginner, download an app such as the “Insight Timer” that will ease you into a meditation practice with guidance. It will take away the guesswork and smooth the transition to getting into the habit. If you feel more comfortable meditating on your own, simply get into a restful position, set a timer for however long you want to meditate (5 to 20 minutes is a good start), close your eyes and focus on your breath. That’s it! You actually can’t get it wrong. Thoughts are going to pop up, and that’s perfectly fine. The idea that meditation is supposed to clear your mind completely is a myth. Simply allow your thoughts in, and observe them as if you’re observing clouds passing in the sky. Allow them to exist without trying to edit, control or judge yourself. Just let them pass through. Here’s a bonus tip: If you start making to-do lists and can’t let your thoughts pass through without engaging, give yourself permission to make your to-do lists. Once you’ve written everything down that you don’t want to forget, you can then start your timer and will have an easier time relaxing.

3. Yoga Yoga is a way to bring harmony to your mind, body and spirit. And all three are brought together with the breath. When performed properly, yoga combines the breathing and mindfulness discussed above. An easy way to get started is to look for YouTube videos that teach beginning yoga poses. There are a ton of videos out there, so just pick one that you enjoy. You don’t have to be flexible or in great shape. Some poses are as easy as sitting with a straight spine and breathing. Simply focusing on your breath throughout a pose is enough to activate your parasympathetic response. Sure, you can take a 90-minute class. But as yoga teachers will often tell you, “A little yoga all of the time is better than a lot of yoga some of the time.” A few minutes every day goes a long way. Whether you choose yoga, meditation or a simple breathing technique, all of these methods for reducing stress and resetting your nervous system are effective. It doesn’t matter which one you choose. The most important thing is to notice when stress is there and then doing something to release it. The more consistently you interrupt stress in your system, the better you will feel in the moment and over time.
