If you think a successful cocktail party means buying a few fifths of liquor, making some canapés with Ritz crackers and Cheez-Whiz, and calling 10 of your best friends, you may need more help than even this book can give you. But start here anyway; party specialist Jaymz Bee's advice is snappy and entertaining, and the great suggestions may start to sink in. Bee advises developing a theme for the party: "Pick a good theme," he says, "and the rest of the party-planning problems disappear." Not that he stops there; this book is loaded with suggestions for party themes, locations, moods, guests, drinks, and food. Would you have remembered to check that the bathroom is clean beforehand? The party countdown checklist at the end will keep you from forgetting the fine details of party planning. This is a terrific primer for beginning and intermediate party-givers.
