If you are considering a hot dip, use a crock pot for heating it up so you can dump it in and forget it in the morning. Task a kid to refill your dip bowl as needed.

Set up all the drinks outside your kitchen.

If you are considering another side, mashed butternut squash with butter and apple pie spice can be done the day before and just heated.

When our group gets this big we sometimes do a buffet as we are also navigating 2-3 tables for everyone.

When people ask if they can help with clean up - absolutely say yes. I’ve made the mistake of being a gracious guest and declining, just walking them to the door. Never again. We use china and crystal and so much needs to be washed by hand even with just the pans, bowls, trays, etc.

If possible, buy aluminum trays to heat things up in the oven and possibly serve from if needed. Makes clean up so much easier with huge groups.

You got this, op! [/quote]
