Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

From invitations to discography, party crafts to menus, this is the one-stop planner intended for alternative lifestyle hosts and dropouts from the Barbizon School. With many tongues definitely in cheek (but not in check), the authors provide structures for quite obviously outreget-togethers as well as more traditional celebrations, such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. Recipes lean toward the simple and convenient (e.g., Crock-Pot weenies and sugar-rush chocolate pistachio clusters); entertainment, toward the fabulous (e.g., goddess poker and trailer trash scavenger hunt). Unique and unusual. Barbara Jacobs

3.0 out of 5 stars Get ready to host a funky party!, April 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Party fabulous: 12 parties to change the world (Paperback)

This book is quite clever and has some really cool party ideas. The book provides invitation, recipe, craft and game ideas for each of the 12 themes. While I think the themes are fun & very cool, they are really geared more towards the gay crowd. I enjoyed the book but gave it to my gay friends -- they are having much more fun with it than I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Such Fun!, February 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Party fabulous: 12 parties to change the world (Paperback)

No one knows how to throw a party quite like Todd Merrell. I am a heterosexual female, and my friends and I have had an amazing amount of fun with the innovative ideas in this "fabulous" book! I had the remarkable opportunity to meet Mr. Merrell after reading this book and having several parties themed around ideas in the book, and I must say, he is the epitome of a great host. I believe any host can get enough creative ideas from this book to make it pay for itself ten fold!

5.0 out of 5 stars How to have a blast with (most) of your clothes on!, July 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Party fabulous: 12 parties to change the world (Paperback)

From an intimate Valentine's Day party for two to a all-out throw down, invite the town Breakfast at Tiffany's cocktail party this book has it all for the fabulous host. Although, some of the touches may seem over the top--mini-closet invitations for a "coming out" party--to the not so crafty. This book also contains a good deal of straightforward party planning wisdom (e.g. you can never have too much ice!) that is helpful whether you are starting from scratch or a seasoned entertainer. Party Fabulous is a great book for jumpstarting the creative juices when you are getting ready to throw your next bash!
