Entertaining Entertaining Plan a Party RSVP & Etiquette Birthdays From Donna Pilato, your Guide to Entertaining Right now we can enjoy the beautiful crisp fall days, changing leaves, apples, scarecrows, and the late harvest. We need to enjoy these early fall reasons to party now, before all attention turns to the pumpkins and costumes. Have an Entertaining week! Host a Scarecrow Making Party this Weekend It's much easier than you think to make your own scarecrow, even for those who are craft-challenged. And if you make one now at the beginning of fall, it will last as a seasonal decoration through Halloween, and even beyond. If you're going to get a bale of hay to make a scarecrow for yourself, you may as well invite a few friends over to share the hay and join in the fun by hosting A Scarecrow Making Party. Amp Up Your Table with "Alberto Pinto: Table Settings" A feast for the eyes while it feeds your creativity is the best way I can describe this new book I received for review. Alberto Pinto is a renowned interior designer who has an eye for color, textures, and collectibles. He showcases his vast collection of table settings in this new book while providing inspiration for how to set your own fabulous table the next time you entertain. You can read more about it in my review of "Alberto Pinto: Table Settings." What Party Planning Help Do You Need? There are so many areas you can prep and plan for when entertaining - food, decorating, cleaning, games, the list goes on and on. My purpose on this site is to help and inspire you in all of these areas as you plan your parties. But I would like to understand better the areas in which you need the most information so that I can help you even more. That's why I'm inviting readers to take this poll to let me know what type of information you'd like to see more of on this site. Do You Have Better Wording than RSVP? Readers have complained about the problem of guests not responding to invitations since I first began to guide this site. Some readers have commented that the whole problem stems from our use of the letters "RSVP" which is based on a language that guests don't understand. If it's merely a communication problem, I was wondering if any readers have come up with a better wording than RSVP to get responses to their invitations. I invite you to share it in our newest User Answer on a Better Way to Get a Response to an Invitation.
