Personal Review: The Last-Minute Party Girl : Fashionable,
Fearless, and Foolishly Simple Entertaining by Erika Lenkert
This is the only book I've read that gives advice on how to prepare for your
parties. Lighting, Music, Conversation, party favors, prepping the bathroom
& where to get items for your party. (some of the links seem to be broken.)
How to write invitations. Preparing a pantry of emergency items. A few
Food items that can be frozen & revived quickly. She then goes on to give
you situations like Cocktail parties, Elegant Dinner parties, buffets & gives
menu suggestions based on how much time you have to prepare:
Emergency, 2 hours, over the top & cheap.
I've looked as several other famous peoples party books & they don't cover
quite a few of the details Erika covers. It's not a lengthy book. But just
pointing out things to take care of like: put a candle in the bathroom &
bathroom spray that's not out of a can reminds me, "Oh yeh, I gotta put
that on my list!" Instead of realizing I forgot something after the party's
started.
It is written like a 20 something. But that's part of the fun of it. Read it with
humor. She tells some entertaining stories on herself.
