[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"We're so excited to host Thanksgiving this year. We will both be extremely busy at work, so we're planning a slightly scaled down menu of X, Y, Z. Please feel free to bring additional sides/desserts to share if you don't see your favorite on the menu. Can't wait to see you![/quote] This. Short and sweet. Another option is to check out local restaurants that offer catering. Some of the holiday sides you know family may love could be available and all you’d have to do is pay and pick up. [/quote] Another +1 in agreement. My mother has scaled down our Thanksgiving by purchasing sides and desserts that only one or two like or that are labor-intensive. We tried catering the whole meal for a couple years, but my mother prefers to make the turkey, stuffing/dressing, some veggies, etc. She was originally against purchasing anything, but it has worked well and has allowed her to continue hosting, which she wants to do.
