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.
