Personal Review: Emily Posts Entertaining by Peggy Post
I purchased this to serve as a guide for my first-ever party in my new-ish
apartment. What a great resource!Peggy Post's _Entertaining_ covered a
lot of ground -- from serving a formal sit-down dinner in one's home to
gracefully declining an invitation to a friend's barbeque. I especially
enjoyed the incredibly helpful section on house guests. It discussed both
how to properly *host* a house guest and how to *be* a sought-after house
guest. (My mother was right. You should never to a host's house empty
handed.)Each tip or explanation is written in a clear, congenial way. Not
once did I feel that Ms. Post was "talking down" to the reader. Rather, her
tone was similar to that of a friend giving another friend sage advice.
Additionally, I liked how the book was organized, as it broke entertaining
into a number of easy-to-follow categories including formal parties, casual
cocktails, or impromptu get togethers. Therefore, I could easily pick and
choose what I needed to read and save the other material for a later date.I
might suggest giving this book as a housewarming gift to a new home
owner or as a wedding gift (attached to s place setting) for social
newlyweds. They will surely appreciate the advice of this expert! It's
obvious that Peggy Post inherited many of her skills and zestiness from
the famed Emily Post, etiquette guru.
