This month's party tips, is taken directly from my book; “Party Planning Secrets, The Ultimate Guide To A Successful Party.” Given the economy, it's a perfect way to start the new year. This excerpt is from chapter 6, pages, 34, & 35.

Money – How to Save It and Tips on Getting Discounts - Part 1

Here’s the deal — money isn’t funny, and you won’tbe laughing if you spend more than you have to. Use my
book as a party-planning guide rather than hiring a party planner. Trust yourself. You can throw the PartyCharlie Perfect Party. Here are some general tips:

Consider co-hosting your party with friends or relatives. A joint party takes some coordinating, but sharing in costs can really make it worthwhile.

Consider the number of guests carefully. The enthusiasm of throwing a party coupled with wanting to make sure you have plenty of guests can make for a longer guest list and a greater expenditure than need be.

The length of the party directly correlates with how much money you’ll spend on food, beverages, disposable ware, and any staff/labor you may need. You don’t need to have a party for six or seven hours. A typical party runs about four hours, weddings about five hours.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year! 2009 was another tremendous year for PartyCharlie. This past summer, I appeared on The KTLA Morning Show, giving my expert advice, party planning tips, and time saving short cuts. If you missed it, click here to view the video. Other highlights included The City Of Beverly Hills, honoring my philanthropic spirit, and support of many charities. I was also featured in the prestige's Los Angeles Business Journal, and my public speaking engagements rose to record high demand. If you would like PartyCharlie to speak at your charity, or event, contact Bob Mazza PR @ 310-994-4847. It gives me great pleasure to share these wonderful events with all of you, my friends, family, and clients. Have a healthy and rewarding 2010!
