David Tutera shares his event and party planning expertise with you. This book reads like Tutera is
sitting in your living room talking to you. He brings ideas necessary to make your party work. He talks about the look, the
scent, the touch, the taste and the music. Each component is important and relative to the other. For instance for a dinner
party Tutera calls Ya-Ya Sisterhood, a beautiful outdoor garden party is planned with pale colors, lots of flowers and delicate
china. The music he suggests is Bette Midler's "Miss Otis Regrets". This attention to small details can make any
party special. Several of the party ideas are a bit lavish for modest pockets but most of his ideas can be reasonably adapted.
