Faate Accompli!: The Ultimate Guide to Creative Entertaining

The number one thing I love about this book is does not give a cookie cutter approach to party planning. The ideas in the book are edgy, original and very doable. Yes, there are some very large budget ideas in here but any of them can be scaled down for someone hosting a party at their home. The book is very to the point, not wordy and it is really a great tool. Lots of bullets and lists so you can grab what you want to know. The stories about the celebrity parties they threw are meant to inspire you to think out the box when it comes to food, decor and venue.

An amazing way to scheme, design and create an amazing party! So many fun and dazzling ideas to trump yourself the ultimate hostess! Chic tips are cool and interesting with many tips you would never consider. Chapter 5 (We'll drink to that) was so useful. Loved it!

Loved this book so much, haven't even finished reading it and I want to use all of Elizabeth's and Lara's party tips! No wonder I throw such bad parties -- I had no clue before I dove into Fete Accompli! Looking forward to being the first girl on the block to throw a mani-pedi party!

This book is a tremendous resource for throwing THE perfect party, albeit small or large, over -the-top or even a simple Sunday brunch...and to boot, so much fun to read! I even gave it to my husband to read (came out at an ideal time!) He wants to organize a birthday party for me this year and I really didn't want to be involved at all, not even to answer a quick question about what to serve or how to serve, what kind of invitations to send out, or even how to whip up the perfect birthday cocktails. Hopefully, he'll use the recipes in the backsection and serve Magnolia Bakery Cupcakes, yummy! I am certain my birthday party this year will be amazing, thanks to Fete Accompli!

What could be better than a party planning book penned by the very people who entertain A-listers from coast to coast? This book is the best how-to guide when it comes to wowing your own crowd with the same chic tips and unforgettable advice used behind the velvet ropes at exclusive events. It leads you step by step through the party planning process - including recipes and photos - to help make your fete fabulous.
