How to Avoid the Biggest Party Planning Mistakes

Dear Rebecca,

What are the biggest party mistakes people typically make? Is there a magic formula to planning correctly?

Just Asking

Dear Just Asking,

No one wants to sit next to a bore or attend a party and not know anyone but the host. These two mistakes are preventable. Always create a guest list with ultimate care. And don’t sit two shy, quiet people next to each other; neither will initiate a conversation.

I also find it especially offensive when a host expects his guests to cater his party or if it is to be held in a restaurant, expecting the guests to pay for their owns meals. Very poor manners.

Always consider who your guests are, what they prefer, and provide it. This is your magic formula.

Most sincerely,

Rebecca

Food Review: Trader Joe’s Animal Crackers

Tub of Fun Found in Trader Joe's Animal Crackers If you are like me, every time I see a box of animal crackers, I relive my childhood years of drooling over a box decorated as if it is a red circus boxcar filled with exotic animals. My favorite cookie/cracker was the elephant. Therefore, when I noticed a tub --yes an entire tub-- of animal cookies on a Trader Joe’s shelf, I squealed like a little girl and promptly tossed one in my cart. As a fan of simple English style cookies, Trader Joe’s Organic Animal Crackers are a perfect fit for me. They are crunchy, light, great with hot beverages, and shaped like animals. What could be better? Right? The real surprise with these cookies is that these are not your typical guilty-pleasure snacks. Oh no. These puppies —or should I say camels -- are low in fat and sodium, vegan, organic and only 120 for 17 delicious cookies! There are even tigers in the tub. It just ge...

How to Grill Herbal-Rubbed Chicken Breast Perfectly

Look out baby, Memorial Day is nearing so barbecue season has officially begun I bet this sounds familiar. You are standing in the middle of your backyard drooling on the bucket of just pulled weeds because an enticing aroma of yummy barbecue wafts through the air. Sadly, it is not coming from your grill. The bad and good news of this tasty temptation is that I'm that neighbor torturing you with mouthwatering BBQ aromas, but I'm letting you in on some of my secrets! Good BBQ begins in the kitchen Although not a food snob, I am particular. I believe that the best 'cue begins in the kitchen. Fresh food is a must, and it has to be cooked just right. Moreover, whatever goes on the grill must be bursting with flavor. Luckily, I have a prolific herb garden. This won't rub you the wrong way Since I tend to lean toward Mediterranean dishes...

Using Teachable Moments When Planning & Hosting Parties

Dear Rebecca, What do children and teens learn from their parent’s throwing parties ? Parent Dear Parent, Children of all ages learn everything from their parents. They learn all their manners , which is basically how we treat others and ourselves. They also learn etiquette, which is the protocol, how we behave, or how we are expected to behave in public. So, if a child’s parents throw raucous parties with alcohol and loud music, the child will believe that this is what is expected at parties. If the parents cater to their guests, treating them as special, the child will learn that he/she should treat their guests as special. Parents are their child’s best teachers to teach him/her about life and being a good person. Pro-Tip Involve your child in the planning and preparation of the party. Teach him/her how to focus on guests' needs. Most sincerely, Rebecca More by Rebecca Q & A: The Best and Worst Parties I’ve Hosted or At...
