A maximalist, theme-inspired, and DIY-rich party bible from the social media sensation that proves every season—and every excuse—is worth celebrating in style.

This book is for those who love to go big and make any excuse to celebrate. It’s a to-the-max manual for people who understand that creative cocktails and decorative party-scapes are like dressing a whole house up in costume. In this party planning guide, the host doesn’t have to be the best cook to throw one heck of an adorable Galentine’s brunch, complete with giant heart-shaped Jell-O shots and a 12-foot bow-shaped balloon arch that anyone with a balloon pump and a dream can make. 

Focusing on holidays, life celebrations, and literally any reason to throw a themed party, this book is full of unique decor and drink ideas that are as outlandish as they are achievable. It’s thematic inspiration for any and every season of the year, with projects that can be mixed and matched to the heart’s content. Because why should Halloween and Christmas get to have all the fun? 

Whether you’re already a pro, just getting started, or needing food and drink ideas to bring to another party, Powell teaches all her tricks to make a party stand out without costing a fortune. She’ll show where to save, where to splurge, and things that are doable (or don’t-able). She’s here to make every party memorable and spread the joyful how-tos of being a Party Planimal.
