Just the same as you do during the week.. by eating less calories that you are burning in total.
If you know you are likely to eat more on the weekend, then you can schedule in a bit more activity or perhaps save up some cals during the week so you have some leeway on the weekend.
Really though, I think it's about moderation - do the things you enjoy but don't go overboard.

I struggle on weekends too. I'm an emotional eater and this weekend has been tough. I try really hard to have my meals planned ahead of time and to make sure I have plenty of healthy snacks available but when I slip I don't beat myself up. I get right back on track. Something I'm finding useful is using my weekends to try new healthy foods. I have that sense of anticipation when trying a new food or recipe and that usually out weighs my cravings so I'm more likely to grab the new healthy snack rather than falling back into old habits.

Portion control is your friend.

MFP posted a blog about this just the other day. I can't post the link from my phone but if you check your newsfeed it should be right there.
