Knowing that a good relationship doesn’t only pertain to your significant other, we have put together a step-by-step guide that shows women how to plan the perfect celebration for every occasion in their lives. From creating a plan to selecting the menu,  we have thought of everything to ensure that your next get-together is one that they’ll never forget.

We also know that the best hostesses aren’t the ones chained to a stove the whole party, so we share secrets on how to create mouthwatering and unforgettable meals that don’t require hours of planning, dicing and fretting. From warm vanilla tea cakes to deep-fried turkey, the Get ‘Em Girls’ guide has pitch-perfect menu ideas for festivities such as:

· LIGHT BITES WITH THE GIRLS – Let your girlfriends know that this time you mean business with this diet kick-off soiree featuring such figure-friendly eats as chicken jambalaya and spinach and roasted pear salad.

· IT’S A FAMILY REUNION – With delicious recipes like barbeque baby back ribs and strawberry shortcake trifle borrowed from their own family recipes, the girls show how to celebrate the very essence of family.

· LET’S HAVE A SHOWER! – Whether she’s about to be a bride or entering motherhood for the first time, help your best girlfriend celebrate her special day with delicious treats like lump crab tea sandwiches and the perfect pot of tea.

· PICNIC FOR TWO – Big parties can be fun, but you know the Get ‘Em Girls’ wouldn’t forget their man! Remind him he’s still number one with a romantic alfresco date featuring sparkling lemonade, chocolate kiss wontons and kettle-cooked homemade potato chips.

· FIRST HOLIDAY – It’s that time of year again and the Get ‘Em Girls show you how to host the perfect holiday dinner, from giving thanks over a plate of turkey tenderloin and cornbread stuffing to ringing in the New Year with a delicious slice of pineapple-layered cake.

· Each chapter also comes with helpful tips on the proper planning and execution of the get-together such as selecting music for a birthday party, the proper serving temperatures for cocktails or the basic rules of poker for game night.

With our trademark wit and innate flair, THE GET ‘EM GIRLS’ GUIDE TO THE PERFECT GET-TOGETHER is a must-have guide that will help reintroduce readers to the joys of cooking fabulous fare for those they care about. For every woman who wants to show the people in her life how much they matter, this entertaining guide is a can’t-fail classic.

    Picnics are simply fun. On the current economic status, saving money is a thing every family would like to do. Picnics are a cool way to to this.. Not to mention, that kids love to be outdoors all the time. It’s a perfect combination. Dont for get to bring your picnic baskets and enjoy.
