See the website for details....

Posh Party Gal Tells All ~ assigned seating
This week we received a fabulous question:
Q: I am planning an intimate dinner/house warming next month and I recently connected with an old friend that is single and a little shy. So I was thinking of having assigned seating and breaking up couples. Is this a good idea?
A: Absolutely!! Especially when it comes to entertaining in your home, mixing things up a little always make for great ice breakers and conversation pieces. For example, split husbands and wives or significant others up - they can talk to each other when they get home. Or put someone who may be timid next your a bubbly friend - this will put your shy friend at ease and make them feel more welcome.
This also gives you a great opportunity to be creative with place cards at the table - do something fun that matches your cuisine or color scheme. Here are some fun place cards ideas that I love:

All We Need is LOVE
In honor of the month of February being synonymous with LOVE, I wanted to share some thoughts about Love.
What does the word Love mean to you? Being in a "love" business, I find it very interesting to see the dynamics in which love is portrayed. Between a husband and wife, a mother and daughter, father and bride, between siblings and between friends. The Love of a job or a pet or something you are truly passionate about. There are so many levels of what the word Love can mean.
A favorite quote about the meaning of love:
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongdoing.
It does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith, hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever:
Faith, hope, and love;
But the greatest of them all is love.
-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

And Love songs....wow there are too many to list. But if you have a favorite, let us know!
Enjoy this month of LOVE as it approaches and I hope you can find love in the things you do each day!

Posh Party Gal Tells All
Our first Posh Party Gal Tells All post is going to be about attire. That seems to be a common topic that I get asked about the most. Recently, 2 Posh Party Gal readers asked the same question....
Q: I have a party to go to that calls for "black-tie" - is it okay to wear a cocktail length dress?
A: YES! In today's day is certainly apropos to wear a cocktail length dress to a black-tie affair. The trick is to accessorize fancy. Make sure your jewelry, hand bag and shoes are as dressy as you would wear with a full length gown. Take a look at the red-carpet - you always see stars dressed on gowns of all lengths.
Here are a few of my favorite cocktail-length looks that can be worn to a black-tie event:
