Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Planning a party can be fun, but doing it right requires organization and creativity. Social graces have gone through a major transformation since the days of Emily Post, so it's time for a book that brings you up to date on modern decorum. Along with advice from celebrities and experts in the field, Party Confidential: New Etiquette for Fabulous Entertaining answers the questions people want--and need--to know about everything related to a party, from planning to attending.  It addresses topics that are not covered in traditional etiquette books and takes a new approach to covering the basics. You'll learn all the essentials, like how to: 
* Invite someone last-minute
* Handle unexpected guests
* Accomodate dietary requests like vegan or kosher
* Leave a party early
* Ask if you can bring a guest
* Respond to an RSVP--and when
* And much, much more.
This is the only book you need to be a consummate host, as well as a perfect guest, at every party.

Synopsis:

The stars of the UPN show "Get This Party Started" provide an all-access pass to some of their most exclusive and creative A-list events. Packed with imaginative tips and suggestions, "Party Confidential" is sure to inspire unique and extraordinary get-togethers of all kinds. Includes food & drink recipes. 250 color photos.
