My friend, Audra Blair. She hosts the most impressive parties! Everything is perfect! The invites…the decor…the food…all perfect! She gives Hostess with the Mostess a run for her money!

I would have to say my best friends mom MaryJean.
She is the best hostess and she knows how to throw a party! Even when she is not hosting an event she is so gracious and always so well prepared!
She is like a second mom to me and I always enjoy my time spent at her house!

It began with my Mum and know I delight in doing the same with a twist – we now just share cookware and decorative items in a big cupboard its easier and cheaper that way!

I know “hostess” is gendered female as a word, but the most welcoming person I know is actually an ex-boyfriend of mine — always creating a warm, welcoming space for people to come into, attends to those pleasurable details, and had impeccable Texan manners. He loved to engineer memorable gatherings…a consummate host.

My friend, Jody, who can make even the simplest gathering for a meal into a special occasion. I always feel at home at her place, no matter what.

My friend Annemarie – she comes up with the most creative party ideas and then attends to every detail. From the invitations to the decor, the food and everything in between she pulls it all together into amazing parties and does so with a job and three kids. Yet somehow she always makes it happen because she loves to party plan and to make people happy!

I have to give props to my Mom on this one. The woman is able to throw together a party in nothing flat. She owns plates for any occassion that she bough up piecemeal on eBay so she'd get great deals. She can coordinate a table and menu like nobody's business and make it look easy and seamless to others. While she stresses herself to make the event perfect, the people attending would never even know what she's put into it.

It seems odd to say it, but that would be me. I'm the one who invites the singles for the holidays, I'm the one who plans the menus, hosts the BBQ, plans the offices parties and overall girl who has the magic closet. This closet is filled with decorations, vases, baskets, ribbon, candles, etc… anything that could be used for any type of household decoration or get-together. When ever my friends come over they always want to see what's new in the magic closet.
