Perfect Party Tip

The Purple Mermaid has lots of tips for hosting The Perfect Party. Check out our website dedicated to the perfect party ~ http://www.perfectpartypress.com/. People often say they do not have a big enough space to have a really perfect party. We love that challenge because where there is a will, there is a way! We have hosted and assisted with hosting many successful parties in very small spaces. Some of these parties were talked about as wonderful memories for a long time after the party ended! Isn't that exactly what you want? Well, first look around at your space. Pay attention to mood. Think about the music, lighting, and where you're placing the food throughout the house so the party flows and the guests still have a place to land. For example, serve cocktails and hors d'oeuvres on your elegantly yet simply decorated deck or porch. No need to spend alot of money and you can use what you already have in the house to decorate a porch or deck. Put out hurricane candles, flowers and bold colored tableware. We believe in using "real" plates and glasses even outdoors. It spells ELEGANCE even with mix and match china. You can use a portable CD changer or radio for your mood music outdoors. Then move indoors for the main course. This gives the illusion of more space as well as allowing you to have each unique space decorated and set-up in advance. That gives you more time to spend with your guests. You can clean up the outdoor space later too! You can even serve coffee and dessert in the Living Room for yet another change of venue. These tips can extend your small space, give the illusion of a much larger space and give you more time to mingle. ENJOY!
