Every hostess/host should own this book!!!

I was so thrilled and excited to get a copy of "Fete Accompli". I grew up in the south and think they have taken the idea of "southern hospitality" to the next level. I love to entertain and this is the ULTIMATE tool for any host/hostess. Lara and Elizabeth are experts and I am so thrilled they published their secrets for the rest of us.

A perfect "Fete"

After attending countless Harrison & Shriftman events, I have always aspired to emulate their entertaining style...the glamour, the creativity, the fabulous food, people and decor...and now I can!!! This book is absolutely one of the most helpful A-Z guides in planning the perfect party whether it's an intimate dinner for ten or a huge Barbie-themed birthday bash. Be it interesting ideas for invites or music suggestions from celebrities or how much alcohol you actually need (sooo helpful!), you'll be more than prepared for a party people will be talking about long after the last dance (and the last krispy kremes!!!!). Enjoy!
