78. Pad Parties: The Guide to Ultra-Entertaining by Matt Maranian


BOOK REVIEW: Pad Parties – The Guide to Ultra-Entertaining by Matt Maranian

Enjoying a party is great, but throwing a party? Maaaayyyybeee not.... Fret not, it is actually more fun to throw a great bash than to experience one. Blinking in confusion? I’m not kidding J Put bang into your next bash with Pad Parties, the ultra-swank guide to entertaining.

Have you gone to a party where the decor, bites and entertainment looks like it cost a bomb when it actually cost only a fraction? Or maybe a themed party for example during Halloween, where everything from the area to the clothing is ghastly and macabre? Here you’ll find dozens of recipes, gifts, and projects for all that glitters, glows and flames.

Dispense lively libations from illuminated punch bowls; offer mouthwatering, utensil-free hors d’oeuvres that avoid catering clichés; and enhance your partyscape with ambient audio-visual oddities.

From a tiny cocktail gathering to trough-food shindig, Pad Parties is the how-to guide full of inspiring ideas that will transform you into the host with a little more than most.


Going through this book enabled me to open up the floodgates on the many ideas which at first I have imagined as being too over-the-top (OTT). Hosting a party has never been the same again with self-made coasters for a cocktail party or a flaming piñata for a birthday party.
