COTERIE: Host Like No One Else by Rebecca Gardner
Host like no one else…
By Rebecca Gardner
Give Them Something to Talk About
Party hats and entertainments are the pop and fizz that linger long after the hangover fades. Stir up trouble in a cocktail olive headband or host a late-night ceremony with our rodeo-sized award ribbons.
Avoid Lulls
I like parties to have movements and reveal every 30–45 minutes. This creates a rhythm of excitement. Move dancing to another room. Pass Espresso Martinis and party crackers during dessert. In marches a brass band.
Overdo It
Parties are no place for minimalism. I believe there is celebration in excess…maybe because I’m a Texan who grew up on teased hair. Blow their hair back. Host like no one else…
Have… A Screaming Blast!
