Jessica McIntyre and her sister-in-law Kim Dodson are on a mission to cure bad entertaining practices just in time for the holidays. Their company, Acanthus, specializes in luxury lifestyle consulting. Translation: they can help in four key areas: event hosting, gift giving, interior design, and personal styling. Need to throw an intimate dinner party for 40? McIntyre and Dodson are on the case. They design invitations, rent Chiavari chairs, arrange floral centerpieces, spruce up your home, hire a caterer, and even pick out your party frock. Have control issues? You can hire them for one service or for all. Don’t feel like renting chairs? Dodson and McIntyre can work with what you have to make a gathering special—without hiring anyone or renting a thing. “Many people already have what it takes to make a great party, they just aren’t sure how to pull it all together,†McIntyre says. If you’re playing guest exclusively this season, hire the duo to find just the right gift for the hostess who has everything. Acanthus. 817-366-0332. www.acanthusdallas.com.
