I have been planning parties for years and do a lot with my family and wanted some new and fresh ideas. I was disappointed with this book. The ideas were unimagative and bland and I did not get one good idea from this book. If you are already creative person this book is not for you. Maybe it would be good for someone less creative. It made me think that I should write a book myself.

While the author covers just about every tip imaginable; the book seemed like more of an appetizer than anything. The author gives brief descriptions but does not really go into much depth. I was looking for more detail and just did not quite feel like I got it from this book. It was more of a teaser. I may have pulled one or two ideas from the book overall, but there was really no sizzle for me.

Robyn Spizman's newest book certainly lives up to its title! With personal entries that will wow everyone you know, Make It Memorable shows us how to leave our friends and families in awe. From birthday party themes to wedding showers, favors and clever gift wrap, Robyn provides countless examples of how to add that little extra touch to make any event more personal. Lasting memories are created by details--witty catch phrases and attention-grabbing invitations that will have guests still talking about your party at the next big gathering. For readers who want to have it all and find themselves pressed for time, Make It Memorable has solutions for quick and easy details and themes that will dazzle the most discerning party guests. In fact, don't even think about giving a party without this book! Get a copy for yourself, and keep an extra on hand so that when your best friend asks where you get all of your wonderful ideas, you can let her in on your little secret!

I bought this for my library, and was not disappointed! If you are planning a party, any party than this book is for you!

I bought this book for my sister who had earlier in the year had said she wanted it. When she received it on Christmas she said she had already bought it and that it had few new or interesting creative party planning ideas. She said she could write a better book than this with better ideas. I think maybe if you have little to no experience planning a party then this book is for you. Otherwise,save your money.

Grab a copy of this book and keep it handy - this book will surely make a difference in your life! Let me share just one example of how it changed my life. Thanks to Robyn Spizman and her most recent book (she's written several)I have re-discovered the joy in taking the what-I have-come-to-dread annual holiday picture. I have three boys and every year it has been a hassle to get them dressed, combed and smiling for that annual picture. What a hassle - and all just so we could have a picture to send out with our holiday cards - ba humbug! But on page 17, Robyn writes about the growing family who each year poses in an ordinary spot, but makes the photo MEMORABLE because each family member holds something unique and special representing that particular time in his or her life. I absolutely love this idea - one of hundreds in Robyn's book. Never again will I dread the photo session. In fact quite the opposite - I'll be so anxious to see what each of my boys and husband brings with them and from now on I'll focus on the greater purpose of this "memorable" exercise! There's so much more useful and practical information in this book - you'll want to get it right away!
