Planning a party can be fun, but doing it right requires organization and creativity. Social graces have gone through a major transformation since the days of Emily Post, so it's time for a book that brings you up to date on modern decorum. Along with advice from celebrities and experts in the field, Party Confidential: New Etiquette for Fabulous Entertaining answers the questions people want--and need--to know about everything related to a party, from planning to attending. It addresses topics that are not covered in traditional etiquette books and takes a new approach to covering the basics. You'll learn all the essentials, like how to:

* Invite someone last-minute

* Handle unexpected guests

* Accomodate dietary requests like vegan or kosher

* Leave a party early

* Ask if you can bring a guest

* Respond to an RSVP--and when

* And much, much more.

This is the only book you need to be a consummate host, as well as a perfect guest, at every party.
