My Expert Service
|
|
I have been known to my friends as an expert on entertaining. They call me up for things from, "how many chicken breasts do I need to serve 30 guests?" to "Is it proper to place your registry listing in an invitation". I basically give the "what would I do" answer. Socially and Economically it is widely accepted. I have planned events for 4,40,400 and even 4,000! Sometimes for monetary gain, others simply for my church's functions. I get pure joy from seeing others happy in an environment "created" just for them. So if you are looking for the latest trend in party-giving, trend-setting @your next event, or you want to know how to achieve a celebrity-inspired party for an inexpensive invoice. I'm your girl! All of these can be achieved while maintaining etiquette and grace.
