Fleurish
Entertaining Made Easy
It’s time to get into hosting mode. Let’s channel our inner Ina Garten or Martha Stewart. The holiday season is dashing toward us, but don’t fret. After our Fleurish event on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m. ET, you’ll have quick and chic tips for hosting like a pro!
What to Expect
In the true holiday spirit of giving, Alison Barr Beitzel, Indiana, founder of Babs Boards, is gifting us the inside scoop on holiday hosting and creating an “ooh and ahh”-inspiring charcuterie board. You’ll get:
- An interactive demo filled with holiday inspiration and ways to level-up your board with festive touches.
- Practical tips for entertaining during the holidays, like setting the scene, what to do in advance (spoiler: everything possible), and more.
- A simple recipe you can recreate right away.
