Gracious Hosting
Gilbert, Arizona
Home of Patty Belloso
5:00 pm-8:00 pm
The holiday season is about sharing joy, but sometimes, the stress of preparation overshadows the spirit of generosity. Join us for a special seminar designed to move beyond checklists and help you master the true essence of hospitality: making every guest feel genuinely valued, welcome, and celebrated.
Gracious Hosting is not about flawless execution—it's about intentional connection.
The seminar will conclude with a hands-on centerpiece workshop. You will craft a beautiful, festive arrangement perfect for your own Christmas table. The best part? Each guest will take their completed centerpiece home to instantly elevate their seasonal décor.
A Note on Dress (Optional Fun!)
To add a little fun to our gathering, we invite you to wear something you already have in your closet—that beautiful dress, sharp blazer, or festive accessory you've been waiting for an occasion to wear! Think of this as your chance to finally show it off!
