You did it — the guests came, the food disappeared, and your house survived.
Now for the final phase: wrapping up with style and sanity.
🧹 Clean Up — But Don’t Overdo It
Do dishes and trash tonight; the rest tomorrow.
Start the dishwasher before bed — future you will cheer.
🎁 Share Leftovers & Memories
Package extras for guests.
Send a thank-you text or photo recap.
💌 Say Thanks the Simple Way
Text, note, or DM works — keep it personal.
Mention one specific thing (“Your cookies were gone in five minutes!”).
📦 Store Smart for Next Year
Label bins clearly.
Toss what’s broken.
Keep a “First Out” box for essentials.
From the Clipboard of a Chaos Coordinator:
“Hosting ends when the lights go out — but hospitality lingers long after the door closes.”
