The Ultimate Playbook for Holiday Preparation, Straight from a Pro
08.11.2023 - 14:39 / thespruce.com / Ashley Chalmers
We don’t mean to cause alarm, but the holiday season is almost officially upon us. While it’s always important to live in the moment and enjoy the current season, with busy lives and busier schedules, now is the ideal time to start some prep for the holidays.
Though it might sound overwhelming right now, if it’s done well, pre-planning should mean a more relaxing time once December has fully blown in.
With the help of a few of our favorite entertaining experts, we’ve rounded up some of the best ways you can start planning now to make merry memories this year.
Paper Dreams from The Conscious
Of course, the season isn’t only about gift-giving, but this is definitely one area that can cause the most stress.
While you don't need to necessarily start your shopping this minute, Beth Sheeler, the founder and creative director of Broadlawn Farm, says it's a great time to consider what you will eventually need to buy—think wrapping and ribbons and everyone-appropriate gifts
Bed, Bath & Beyond
According to Megan Curren, event manager at The Graceful Ordinary, now is the ideal time to decide on your theme this year and make sure you carry it across all aspects of your holiday planning.

Before you run out and invest in new decor, Sheeler says it’s incredibly on-trend right now to lean into all things vintage and nostalgic. So, first, take a look at what you already have in your basement—or better yet, consider arranging a decor swap with your family and friends, and spread some of the festive cheer around.
“I hate the idea of spending money on new stuff every year when all that stuff is sitting in my basement collecting dust,” Sheeler says.
