Packed with imaginative tips and suggestions, PARTY CONFIDENTIAL will help inspire unique and extraordinary get-togethers. Instead of throwing a traditional birthday dinner, make it a sugar part y. Want to host the hottest poker night in town? Lara and Elizabeth give you the recipe for David Copperfield's Black Magic martini and ask poker champ Annie Duke to help up your game. Each party is outlined in detail from the invitation to the lighting, from the food and drinks to the music. The book also features Lara and Elizabeth's 10 no-fail party rules, advice for a successful fund-raiser, party tips from celebrity friends, and the best recipes from favorite restaurants. Accessible, fun, and beautiful PARTY CONFIDENTIAL will be the source of many good times ahead.

Product Plugs,May 26, 2007
By Zoom (Omaha)
Certain product names were mentioned ad nauseum - on the invitations, as the focus of the party, presented on silver trays, and in the take-home gift bags.
This book has wayy too many pictures of Paris Hilton's ugly mug - I see enough of her at the grocery checkout stand.
The food was gross - as exemplified by the teetering 4-tier doughnut cake, held up by scary man-hand. It looked like it had fallen on the floor several times already. Even the little girls look grossed out by it.
The best party in the book was the Indian party where they consulted with authentic Indian people on the food, the entertainment, and the decor. Good thinking! Otherwise, some of their ideas are almost *unbelievably* tacky.

1.Loaded with creativity and details,April 17, 2007
By Heather "Event Coordinator" (Virginia)
The reviewers complaining that the book has photos of celebrities and lavish, pricey parties completely miss the point. This book is for inspiration. You don't have to copy the use of a Tiffany silver tray. Anyone can take the party themes in this book and use the inspiration to adapt the ideas to suit their budget and needs. My favorite thing about this book is the way it makes suggestions to cover all the many details: decor, music, invitations, food, favors, etc. A lot of books on entertaining don't bother - they either give you a generalized description of a party or a bunch of recipes as if there's nothing more to a party than that. I'm inspired by this book. Similar presentation to InStyle Parties, another fantastic book.
2.What a delightful dish!, February 2, 2007
By J. K. Godwin (Los Angeles, CA)
I love this book! Full of tips from the Hollywood Party Girl herself, Lara Morgenson, it's exactly the primer I need to throw fabulous bashes for my friends. Decorating, themes and entertainment are explored in beautiful detail, matched only by the oh-so-glam photographs. I love browsing this book just for fun, and I'm actually putting the ideas into effect this Saturday at my house! Thank you, ladies--you're totally invited! :)
