From our home to yours
Welcome! I’m DeeDee Dalrymple and I’m so glad you’re here!
I imagine you’re here because you care about the people in your life and want to find ways to bring them together. How many times though, have you said, “We should have friends over,” only to sigh and decide it’s too much time and work? I hear you and want to turn your best intentions into real life invitations.
Whether you’re a reluctant host who feels anxious and overwhelmed or a seasoned host looking for new ideas, Effortless Entertaining is for you! There is no one “right” way to host a party, yet we can discover the threads that run through the fabric of every good gathering.
Drawing on my experiences, along with the voices of others, I created Effortless Entertaining to inspire you with fresh ideas and equip you with practical strategies. The goal is not to help you host the “perfect” party. The goal is to help you feel at ease and excited about hosting a party that you and your guests will enjoy.
Effortless Entertaining will meet you right where you are and provide resources you can trust. Bringing together people you care about is so much more than serving a meal. It’s an expression of love. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to begin.
As a member of our community, I’m honored to be on this journey with you. I know you’ll find all you need to open your home, open your heart, and give the gift of hospitality.
