Party Planning

Pearls, rhinestones and little black dresses. Sparkling wine before breakfast and cocktails before dinner. Here's how to put together your own version of Holly's famous cocktail party.

With the weather warming up, treat yourself, family and friends to an elegant picnic on a patch of green. With a checked blanket, full picnic hamper and a chilled bottle of wine, you'll have all the makings of a relaxing afternoon.

Whether you're planning an event with dozens of guests, or just inviting friends for cocktails, a checklist can help everything go smoothly.
