Those creative party ideas - where do they come from anyway?

Have you ever been to a party where every aspect seemed perfect? Nothing was overlooked and everyone had a great time? And the hostess really did have the mostess?

I have. And that hostess was my mom. It was her job as wife and mother to entertain and throw great parties when I was growing up. She not only hosted elaborate business functions and put together holiday extravaganzas and family get togethers, but my brothers and I had absolutely the best birthday parties ever! She taught me a lot about entertaining and having fun through the years.

Today, when I throw a party, a lot of my mom shines through but there's also a distinct touch that's all mine! Together, we can create a perfect party that's all you (and maybe a little of my mom!)

Besides great theme ideas for your next party and step-by-step directions, you can also find tips on: party etiquette, invitations, decorations, food, favors, and a whole lot more!
