  David Tutera is a highly-regarded event designer whose clients have included Jennifer Lopez, Elton John, Barbara Walters, the Rolling Stones and Al Gore. Tutera lends his expertise on how to throw an unforgettable party on an everyday budget, coming up with fun themes, how to arrange the decor, planning the menu and addressing every detail for a wide variety of events. Tutera brings a fresh twist to birthday parties while retaining time-honoured traditions. Each chapter covers a different party and each event is planned to consider the five senses. There is a party for every decade from 1 through 100, including a father/son fishing party for a 5-year-old, a turning over a new leaf party for a 40-year-old and a safari send-off for a 65-year-old. They are set indoors and outdoors and feature menus and how-tos for food and drink recipes. Step-by-step instructions for projects such as making new chair covers and other 'Tutera Tips' for invitations, entertainment, room transformation, decor, menu ideas, table settings and floral arrangements are also included.
