Pick a Party: The Big Book of Party Themes and Occasions

Because my family loves to party, I'm always looking for ideas that are easy and fun. Patty Sachs delivers again! Whenever I am planning a celebration, I know that her books will help... and this one is the best yet! The book makes finding ideas so simple. It's like having my own personal party planner! (Only less expensive!)

As an award-winning professional event planner who has been in the business for over 15 years, I figured there probably wasn't a whole lot I was going to learn by reading Patty's book, but just in case there was, I thought I'd buy it. I'm so glad I did! There were TONS of ideas that I know will work not only for my clients' parties, but also will be fun to do when I'm planning a party for my own friends. Most are easy to duplicate and adapt to every situation...and Patty even provided a grid to help the "thematically challenged" find a theme to fit any occasion! :)The ideas are bulleted and easy to read. And if you need a little more of an explanation or "how-to," Patty's provided that also for many of the projects.If you are a newbie host, or are like me, and have thrown hundreds...thousands...of parties, BUY THIS BOOK! You'll use it again and again.

I purchased this book to get some ideas on a bridal shower. I love it because I can use it for absolutely any occasion imaginable. The ideas in it are great, original and fun. If anyone is looking to throw a party of any type, there is no excuse why you can't find a theme and ideas in this book. I love it!!

Sach's "Pick A Party" is a wonderful one-stop party planning resource! It's categorical organization makes it so easy to find theme ideas. She is so creative. Using her ideas will certainly make a "BIG" impression. The resource section, itself, makes it worth the price.

I had my own celebration just reading the party suggestions from this very very funny and creative woman. She knows the party-biz and if you're giving a 'teeny-tiny tea party' or a BIG SPLASH -- you'll find ideas for any kind of celebration in this BIG BOOK! A must for every home.
