Where to begin with the planning of the event you are going to host this year: As I have pointed out several time Lists are your friends.
Start by listing everything you would like to have happen revolving around the event. Do not limit yourself by thinking you could never accomplish a particular aspect of the event. The only way you will know is if you try. After you have listed everything you would like the event to be, break it down into smaller segments and determine how to best accomplish each item.
If you are doing a formal dinner, decide if you will cook everything yourself and then form a time line for accomplishing all the parts. You might decide to cater the dinner or possible purchase the entree from a caterer and prepare the side dishes yourself. You can have a formal dinner with you supplying the entree and having guests bring the side dishes.
Maybe a dessert event would be better for your household. Don't feel like if you are not doing the entire meal people won't come.
Plan, plan, plan. It is only October and if you start now you can host an awesome holiday event this year. Magazines are filled with ideas and they print them so that you will "borrow" the ideas. You can do it if you try.
