5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT party planning resource!!, February 13, 2007

This review is from: Dog Parties: How to Party with Your Pup (Pampered Pooch) (Paperback)

I picked up this book to extend upon my party planning research I gathered from on-line sources and was not disappointed. Moore provides tips and ideas for everything ranging from creating a planning schedule timeline, to the "Petiquette" of thank-you cards. It may be a short book, but it's packing with information including: indoor & outdoor game ideas, cake & treat recipes, party size guidelines, party favor ideas, and outlines on what not to do/give.

After successfully completing my first dog birthday party, I have nothing but praise for this book!
