Product Description
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.

Really fun Birthday ideas. I especially liked the African safari party for the retired man going on an African safari. He had really creative ideas for making an African theme that didn't really have anything to do with Africa but still came together to form this perfect ambiance.

Having a summer birthday has never been much fun, it somehow always goes uncelebrated. This year I was inspired to throw my own festivities. What was supposed to be a quick search for party ideas turned into a total body experience after delving into David Tutera's book Big Birthdays. In his book he executed and fabulously captured five birthday parties exploring the five senses (look, scent, texture, sound and taste) through each event. His tips ('Tutera Tips') were the most helpful; it was almost as if he could hear my questions and answer my thoughts concerning each party scenario. After my celebration they will have to reprint the book, Tutera's ideas were truly an inspiration. This book is a must-have for any status of event planner.
