*Use your spare bathroom for a champagne bar . . . champagne bottles in a sparkling clean bathroom with oodles of ice and an attendant to pour the bubbly in sleek champagne glasses for your delightfully surprised guests is a surefire winner!
*Monogram your cocktails! Squeeze lavender infused honey on top of your drinks with a "honeybear" or cylinder with a tip. I love my flavored sugar, too, in bright colors to rim your cocktail glasses and make them look more va va va voom!
*Have fun unexpected activities . . . a purse psychic, a mendhi artist, roller skating waitstaff, or rent an old fashioned photo booth . . . everyone loves instant pictures with their friends! Want to do something REALLY special? Have a kissing booth for the birthday recipient and capture pics of each guest kissing them! They will adore it and everyone will loosen up!
*Don't slave away at your own party. Hire plenty of help . . . from serving to clean-up. No one enjoys a frazzled host and you, the fabulous one, should make it all look like it was a snap!
*Most importantly, relax. Have your hairdresser come to your home for your blowout 2 hours before your party. Wash your hair 15 minutes before your stylist arrives. When your hair looks f
abulous, everything else falls right into place!

*Entertain at home and recreate your favorite restaurant. Want Italian? Begin the evening with lowlighting, a tray of Bellinis, a sumptuous platter of antipasto, a little Frank Sinatra if you wish, heavy white dinner napkins, white plates, and a starched white tablecloth. How about decorating the dinner table with lots of fragrant fresh basil intermingling with lemons and lots of votive candles . . . and the most fabulouso . . .takeout delivered from your fave trattoria.
*A new take on appetizers! How about a tiny bit of meatloaf on a potato slice or a mini piece of tenderloin of lamb on a leek pancake with black trmphet mushrooms. Instant fashion comfort food. Absolutely Fabulous!
