Plans are coming along for Miss Party’s swanky, little cocktail party. This year’s party theme, JINGLE MINGLE, circa 1962, calls for Miss Party’s restraint in over-decorating –chic rather than kitsch.

What should you give for an adult party favor? Hmmm, well, Miss Party has mixed feelings about party favors. She loves a great ‘swag bag’ as much as the next gal, but she’s not hot on junky, ‘what the heck am I going to do with that?’ themed party favors that the party supply industry […]
Well, we survived Hurricane Irene, just lost power off and on (mostly off) for the last day and a half and, of course, Miss Party’s yard looks like a hurricane came through –oh yeah, one did!
