A complete overhaul of EMILY POST'S ENTERTAINING, EMILY GREAT GET-TOGETHERS will not only reach out to a younger market, it will also answer the slew of questions that often throw hosts and hostesses into a panic. Entertaining has always played a major role in the questions received at the Emily Post Institute, and by now they have heard them all. How do I deal with guests on particular diets? How should I manage guests who are rude? How can I make a party distinctive and special without blowing the budget? What should I say if I don't want my friends bringing their kids along?
