Party: get inspired, literally

There are a ton of websites, books, and television shows that will list party themes and what to do to make that theme happen at your home.  That is a little different than what I am suggesting in Pink Cloud Inc. blog (and hopefully a book someday).   Just as I am writing, the writer was inspired to share with you, but every host or hostess needs their own personal, internal inspiration to throw a Killer-Super-Fabulous Party.  You need to be stimulated and excited, so your next step is finding what inspires you.

Websites, books, and television shows are what I consider direct inspiration.  At work, sometimes a designer will turn in a design that looks very similar to another designer’s look, and instead of calling it ‘copied’ or ‘knocked off’, we call it directly inspired.  This is a good place to start.  Look at other hostess’s parties and see if any of them really, really excite you, then plan one like it for yourself and your friends.

Here are some websites and blogs that I regularly browse:
