celebraTORI: Unleashing Your Inner Party Planner to Entertain Friends and Family

New York Times bestselling author of sTORI telling, Mommywood, and uncharted terriTORI, reality show star, and hostess extraordinaire Tori Spelling offers tips and advice for throwing a fabulousâ€”and affordableâ€”party as only she can.

I love the puzzle of throwing special, chic parties with down-to-earth budgets, and lucky you, Iâ€™m psyched to share my secrets.

Tori Spelling planned her very first party (her own roller skateâ€“themed birthday with a hot-pink- and-turquoise color scheme) at the age of eight, and sheâ€™s been hosting friends and family in her home ever since. She knows as well as anyone that â€œstyleâ€ and â€œeleganceâ€ donâ€™t often play well with â€œbudget.â€ Well, with celebraTORI, she rolls up her sleeves and turns that notion on its headâ€”expertly showing how creativity, passion, and smart planning are the secret ingredients for throwing a truly unforgettable bash on any â€œreal worldâ€ budget. All it takes is a little elbow grease and a lot of imagination to transport your guests to another world as soon as they walk through the door.

In this delightfully entertaining, must-have party companion, Tori shares all the tips and tricks sheâ€™s learned from her most successful soirees (and a few train wrecks). Itâ€™s like having your own personal party planner for a fraction of the cost!

celebraTORI is not just instructional, itâ€™s inspirational. Hosting an event is not about ticking to-dos off a list; itâ€™s about turning an organic idea into a fun day you and your guests wonâ€™t forgetâ€”so much so that you just canâ€™t wait to do it again . . . with a different theme, of course. Tori covers all the basics, from discovering new reasons to celebrate and choosing a concept, to decorating, creating flower arrangements, making refreshments, and building the corner-stone of any great party: the dessert table! The best part is that all of her suggestions, including her mouthwatering recipes, are 100 percent do-it-yourself.

Filled with lots and lots of great advice, handy blueprints, and hilarious anecdotes, celebraTORI will be the most important guest at your next party. Itâ€™s the perfect foundation for taking lifeâ€™s special occasions up a notch . . . or five.

They say the devilâ€™s in the details, but for me the details are heaven. Maybe an avid planner and host like me should say that in the course of the party Iâ€™m on a cloud of joy, but that would be a lie. Planning and preparing are my favorite parts of the process. Truth be told, when it comes to the actual parties, Iâ€™m a nervous wreck. But there is a moment of joy. Mine comes when I see the party come together. The guests are flowing through the space, tasting food, trying out any activities, having conversations with friends and strangers. And when I see someone take a bite of dessert, or try out a photo booth costume, or smile as they pick up a favor, well, that makes it all worth it.

Creating a party. Itâ€™s my favorite thing to do, and Iâ€™m inviting you, as my guest, to join me in the festivities. I know weâ€™re going to have fun. Comeâ€”discover your inner party planner!

Love, Tori
