Review: Folks who casually host small informal get togethers on rare occasions will probably not use many of the ideas in this book. Ditto those without some substantial time and budget for planning and execution of their parties. But for dedicated hosts and hostesses wanting to throw memorable parties - make that events - this book is chock full of creative ideas from party planners to the stars Lara Shriftman and Elizabeth Harrison.

There are ten actual theme party plans taken from the author's own celebrity client files. You'll get complete plans for invitations, menus, decorations, party favors, entertainment, lighting, music, host/hostess gifts and much more. Photos from the actual celebrity parties graphically illustrate the finished projects.

If you're looking for quick, easy and inexpensive ideas - this is not the book. But if you want to throw a party that everyone will still be talking about years later, this book can definitely help you do it. The authors do include everything you'll need to plan the perfect event, including how to estimate budgets, specialty resources, and even how to turn your party into a fund raising event.
