  34. Anne Marie says

    March 6, 2013 at 8:36 am

    This book would give me some inspiration, which I very much need. We just had a birthday party last night for our 4 year old. Lollypop theme. Great cake and lots of color. Next party might be tonight as the kids are on spring break and want to celebrate National Dentist’s Day (who knew?!) for their dad. We’ll see what we can come up with in 8 hours!

  35. Julie Henderson says

    March 6, 2013 at 8:52 am

  41. jessica w says

    March 6, 2013 at 11:23 am

    I grew up with a german mother who didn’t always instill the american traditions of hosting, so this would be very educational

  42. Karey says

    March 6, 2013 at 12:14 pm

    Wow this book is so me! I love making things whether it’s for me or to give as a gift. And I love small parties. We are planning one so for some friends to come over.

    March 7, 2013 at 6:41 am

    I love to have friends and family round for a party and as I love to craft it would be great to start incorporating that more into the parties I host.

    My next party will be a ‘girls night in’ with a posh grown up high tea & possibly some cocktails too!

  81. Brenda J. Moore says

    March 27, 2013 at 6:49 am

    I’m looking forward to setting up a House-Warming Party for my Daughter and S.I.L at the home they bought last Sept. By the time they got settled-in, we seemed to have run out of time for a “house” party due to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas etc.
    Sharing this party planning with his Mum would add to making the party real special; a book like this would be an ideal guide for her and I to get started from.
    Cheers from Oshawa Ontario.

    March 27, 2013 at 6:53 am

  86. Beata Fiebelkorn says

    March 27, 2013 at 8:36 am

    I’d love to see all party ideas in this book! I’m all about handmade but not quite as creative to put all aspects together. I usually make yummy snacks from scratch and maybe one or two handmade decoration elements like a banner or rosettes but maybe with a little more inspiration I could do more?
