Fabulous!,
By Helena Kyle (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Be My Guest: Theme Party Savoir Faire (Hardcover)
If you've ever wondered how to throw a party people talk about for months, this is the mother of party DIY handbooks. Packed with inspirational ideas and examples, it is also packed with great reciepes and photos of New York society parties - with party girl of all party girl's on the cover - Paris Hilton. She isn't the first celebrity dotted within this book but probably sports the biggest diamonds. A must have for all those 'generation sex in the city' people!

GREAT IDEAS... GIVEN THE RIGHT CROWD,
By "sfreas" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Be My Guest: Theme Party Savoir Faire (Hardcover)
I am an event planner from Los Angeles and work for the Mandarin Oriental hotel which hosts numerous high fashion and celebrity events. I found this book to hold a number of innovative and surprisingly fun-inducing ideas ... however, i found that the ideas Rena presents are more applicable to the high society party world, where indulging in such extravagant parties is the norm. Some of the events in the book would ultimatley be hard to pull off with certain crowds b/c of the lack of enthusiasm for such parties. Thus, i receommend this book for anyone who is serious about planning events where the crowd is engaged... otherwise these parties would fail. Ultimatley, it depends on your crowd. For myself, this book has been a creative guide which has spawned a number of my own ideas and additions to rena's ideas. I love the book: pictures and presentation are pleasing to the eye... The book serves great also, as simply a coffee table book, stylish and interesting.

surprised,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Be My Guest: Theme Party Savoir Faire (Hardcover)
As an event designer myself, I am surprised by this books' poor photography and lack of interesting details. It seems to be more about showing off her friends and acquaintances than about showing the theme parties she has designed. The pictures on the montage pages seem to blend together and nothing really catches your eye. I purchase all event design, tabletop and wedding books on the market and haven't seen one as of yet that has provided so few new ideas and where the photography was this substandard. I can appreciate artistic photography, but most of these photos cut people off in strange places or offer unflattering photographs of guests at the event.

brilliant!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Be My Guest: Theme Party Savoir Faire (Hardcover)
I loved Be My Guest!!! As an avid consumer of books on design, entertaining, cooking, etc. I was excited to read Be My Guest, and it does not disappoint! Ms. Sindi has artfully put together a chic, glamourous, and very "inside" look at entertaining, with flair and gusto! The photos are beautifully done - much different than the average party photos you see in some of the magazines, and Ms. Sindi's tips on entertaining are engaging, well thought out, and just plain fun! I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in entertaining and design - it's brilliant! Bravo, Ms. Sindi!!!
