If I were having a Quinceanera, I would want Hugo Benson of Hugo Benson Photography to be my photographer. He’s based in San Diego and doesn’t come cheap (his packages starts at $2,000), but he gives his Quinceaneras the experience of a lifetime and turns them into bona fide celebrities!
Hugo is one of the main [...]

I was just talking to Sharon Chase, otherwise known as Princess Sharon. Sharon throws high-end princess, fairy, rockstar, and spa parties for girls, teens, and adults in the Boston area.
What got me interested in Sharon is how one-of-a-kind her parties are. In fact, I’ve never seen anything like it.
For her Musical Princess Tea Party, Sharon [...]
I consider myself a mild foodie, I shop at the farmer’s market almost weekly, and I go out of my way to avoid trans fats.
However, my husband and I were recently in North Carolina visiting family and we went to a local Walmart, walked down the snack aisle and couldn’t resist the Hostess Cupcakes. [...]
I was talking to LA based party planner, Suzanne Carvlin, also known as Suzanne The Party Girl. She specializes in throwing parties that are a little less conventional than your typical hotel ballroom wedding with rubber chicken.
So I asked her some questions to get her expert advice on how to approach throwing a [...]
I think I’m in a nostalgic mood. Today, my two-year-old daughter, pretending to be a doctor, gave me a shot, then offered me a pretend lollipop to make me feel better. Remember when all it took to make you feel better was a lollipop?
Well, I found this cool site called the Sweet Lollipop Shop that [...]
The best party I ever had was definitely my Sweet 16.
I’ve always loved fashion, so for my Sweet 16, I called up my local Bloomingdales in Short Hills, NJ, and asked them if they would put on a private fashion show for my friends and me, and let me be one of the models. They’d [...]
This is a brilliant cost-saving idea. Let’s say you’re throwing a party and want one of those beautiful designer cakes but don’t want to spend the money, what do you do? Buy a fake cake instead.
The fake cakes are covered in fondant, which is what cake designers use, but underneath it, pure Styrofoam. And the [...]
Last weekend was my daughter’s second birthday party. We were going to do something mellow — a picnic at the park with friends and family, no cooking, just takeout. But it didn’t end up exactly as mellow as I planned.
There was the issue of the picnic tables. My nanny and I staked them out [...]
I love this story. Georgina Hobday’s party gets crashed. Her house is destroyed. Her parents, who are out that night even though they knew she was having a party, blame Facebook and “texting” for all that rukus, and because that’s so insane and her parents look like the stupidest people on the planet, the story [...]
