With the clip removed, you can tie the paint swatch place cards directly to the ringlet. To personalize each card in a more polished manner, use letter stickers instead of writing names with a pen.

5. Know when to buy and when to DIY. You can save money and time (spent shopping) by creating your own place holders with whatever materials you happen to have on hand. The ones shown here were made using recycled paint chips, but you could use pretty gift wrap, sections of your child's artwork, old family photos (originals or photocopies), or plain craft paper tags tied with string. But if DIYs leave you feeling more stressed than inspired, let yourself off the hook and buy something great instead.

Decide on furniture and seating arrangements. Tinker with furniture placement to find the best flow for your gathering. Hosting a seated dinner? Think through where to place guests. You could even make place cards if you’re so inclined. Keep food simple. Without a lot of time to plan, it’s best to go with a streamlined menu that includes a mix of prepared and from-scratch dishes — for example, pick up a baked ham that’s ready to serve and pair it with your favorite roasted vegetable medley or creamy casserole. Make as many items ahead of time as you can, from freezable cheese straws to chilled pies. For a party, you could also focus on a simple theme, such as a dessert buffet or a hot chocolate bar.If you’d rather let your local supermarket or gourmet shop do the cooking, many offer prepared meals with all the trimmings. Order early in the week to give them time to accommodate you.
