From Donna Pilato, your Guide to Entertaining
This weekend kicks off Oktoberfest, even though it's still September. Which is one of the reasons why it's such a great event - it gives us an excuse for a party for a whole month, even if nothing else is going on. Have an Entertaining week!

It's Time for Oktoberfest!
Don't be fooled by the name. The German fall festival may be called Oktoberfest, but it really begins this year on Saturday, September 17th. As the leaves begin to turn, and the night arrives earlier every day, I know my appetite grows and is ready for hearty German food and beers. If you feel the same way with the change of seasons, plan an Oktoberfest Party for this month or next since this is one party that is more about a season than a single day.

Host a Primetime Emmys Viewing Party
Just in time to kick off the fall party season, we have a reason to host a swanky event. The Primetime Emmys award show will be held on September 18, providing us with a great opportunity to host a red carpet party. It's time to put away the cute cotton summer dresses and frozen cocktails and pull out the little black dresses and martinis. Host a Primetime Emmys Viewing Party and cheer for your favorite TV programs in style.

Are You Ready to Be a Room Parent?
It's the beginning of a new school year and pretty soon you'll be invited to a back-to-school night to meet the new teachers. If your child is in grade school, most likely the teacher will ask for volunteers to be room parents for the class - those lucky parents that get to help out with the classroom parties. Before you raise your hand to volunteer, you might want to learn more about How to Plan a Classroom Party to make sure you know what you could be getting yourself into.
