"You know that well-connected friend who only exists in the movies? The one who throws the best parties and can set up any introduction you need?

Everyone wants to know someone magical like this who brings people together. The secret is: you can be that person. You should be that person. The 2-Hour Cocktail Party will show you how.

Discover a simple formula with step-by-step instructions to host small gatherings. It will help you:

  • Meet new people
  • Strengthen your existing relationships, and
  • Make you the person everyone wants to know.

You’ll learn exactly how to host a successful event:

  • Which days are the best (probably not the ones you think!)
  • What to say to the first people who arrive
  • How to ensure your invitations get responses
  • How to get your guests to mingle with proven and tested scripts.

Plus, get helpful pre-party checklists and a breakdown of activities to encourage new connections. The 2-Hour Cocktail Party is based on five years of research and thousands of events. It is extremely tactical, practical, and easy to read.

When you learn how to host a successful event, you’ll make new friends, boost your career, and leave everyone asking, “When’s your next party?”

Great instructions for a successful party

Clear timeline of activities and recommendations to start from to host your own adult social event.
Especially pertinent was the timing and duration. Guests have gone out of their way to thank me for picking midweeks and short durations. Feeling like their time was respected, and removing barriers that would otherwise have gotten in the way.
This books plan specifically lowers the barrier of entry both for guests and hosts.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
