If you’re hoping for a large turnout, make sure to start telling people about it weeks in advance!
Give it Away to Family or Donate
Do you have you any friends or family that have been complimenting a particular piece in your home? Do you think it would fit in their space? If so, offer it up to them! It feels great when you can give an item that’ll be appreciated by your friends and family. If they do not want it; that’s ok, there are other options!
