Spring entertaining is all about creating memorable experiences for your guests while keeping things effortless + stylish. I partnered with some great brands who will make this year’s spring get-togethers a breeze.

What to think about while planning your spring entertaining

A little bit of planning from the get-go saves a LOT of time day-of, so sitting down and making a plan (and budget!) for any gathering is a must. One of the best ways to cut down on time is to opt for convenient meal solutions that impress without the hassle. In terms of decor, to help set the mood, I like to add vibrant floral arrangements (you can DIY using grocery store flowers!) and seasonal decor accents.

When you’re hosting outdoor events, make sure your guests feel welcome- that means thinking about comfortable seating arrangements so people can chat and gather easily, and making your outdoor space cozy and inviting.

I love to infuse personal touches where I can, so signature cocktails or cute party favors are my go-to’s for adding unique flair.

Convenience doesn’t have to compromise taste!

In terms of the menu- I’m all about time-saving tips- and there really are some fantastic food options that offer a range of quick and delicious choices, perfect for hosting when you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.

I recently discovered Tatta Raasa ready-to-eat Indian meals. They’re crafted with authentic sauces, flavors, and spices. These meals give at-home cooks a simple, convenient way to level up their entertaining game in just 60 seconds. You have four tasty varieties to choose from- the Royal Black Lentils, Rich Coconut Lentils, Regal Chickpea Tikka or Majestic Red Bean Curry.

I love that these have no artificial colors, flavorings, sugar or preservatives, and are GMO free, vegan and Halal. You can find Tata Raasa products on Amazon as well as any Albertson’s group grocery stores near you (including Acme, Foodtown, and Shaw’s).

Freshening up your outdoor space for spring entertaining

One of my favorite ways to refresh an outdoor space is to introduce new, vibrant accessories and décor. It’s simple, budget-friendly and can instantly transform the look and feel of your space.

We know patio furniture plays a crucial role in setting the ambiance for outdoor entertaining. Check out Big Lots as you freshen things up- they offer unbeatable bargains on stylish, quality furniture and décor, making it a must visit this time of year.

I scoped out a set of two Broyhill Eastlake Wicker Patio Chairs that make the perfect addition for everything from entertaining to enjoying a quiet moment after a long day. These chairs are built to last and designed with handwoven all-weather wicker and deep cushion seating.

And, don’t sleep on pillows to really elevate the aesthetic of your outdoor space. Big Lots has a beautiful range of pillow options, from trendy colors like orange, beige, and white to patterned pillows to add that touch of personality to your patio.

You also want to think about adding in texture and patterns, like potted greenery or something like an iron garden drum. Big Lots has one with a sleek bronze finish and hammered texture that’s so stylish and chic.
