[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Art of Entertaining" by Maggie Fleming.]
The Art of Entertaining by Maggie Fleming is a concise guide that explains the ins and outs of hosting and attending various social events. The book includes tips for planning or attending a tailgate, home party, wedding event, birthday party, or holiday party. The advice is practical and simple to follow, so whether you are hosting or attending one of these events, you know how to make it a pleasant experience for everyone involved.
One of the first things that stood out to me when I started reading the book was how beautiful the design is. The bright colors, pretty fonts, and colorful images make it visually appealing and enjoyable to read. I also like that it has little boxes highlighting special reminders or new information, so I can quickly grasp key points at a glance.
The book is well organized, with each chapter dedicated to a specific type of event. The book further organizes the chapters into headings that address various aspects such as hosting, guests, decor, and food. This makes it easy to find the advice you need for a particular event. Fleming’s experience in this area is evident based on her practical approach and detailed advice.
I appreciate that Fleming included advice on how hosts and guests should behave. This advice can help boost confidence in navigating social events. It covers the timing for sending and responding to invitations, bringing appropriate gifts, interacting with hosts and guests based on the type of event, and much more. It is excellent advice to avoid seeming rude or embarrassing yourself.
One unique and thoughtful touch in the book is tips for involving pets in events while ensuring they do not cause disruptions and are well cared for. This is both practical and heartwarming because many people like to include their pets in their social lives. Although the focus is on dogs, cat owners can easily adapt the tips.
Due to its impeccable design and content, I give The Art of Entertaining a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their hosting skills or learn to be a wonderful guest. This book can help you create enjoyable experiences at all your social events.
