pinko manifesto

  1. Always invite your friends, new and old. The old and dear ones provide surrogate hosting and the new ones stimulating conversation and perhaps the odd scandal!
  2. Never, NEVER, NEVER run out of ideas, booze or ice! (This should really be #1)
  3. Your party soundtrack shouldn’t be an after thought. Whether it’s a great band, DJ or your musicologist friend’s killer Ipod, plan ahead and check the wires! (Are they lying in water genius?)
  4. Clean your damn house, especially if you stand up to pee. Do it yourself, bribe your cohabitators or hire someone. Get it done.Â
  5. Be a super guest. !RSVP!, bring a gift, be nice to their horrible friends and write your hostess a thank you note. If you are gracious and frisky company you will always have an invitation.
  6. E-vites suck. You should refuse them on principal. I am not just saying that because we sell invitations. Mail is so…tactile & classy…So Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Ava Gardner when she wasn’t drunk.
  7. If it means a lot to you, and it’s in August or during the holidays, send a save the date. We love you but we all live busy lives.
  8. Halloween is the favorite holiday! You are only as fierce as your last costume. Start planning in August.
  9. Always have a camera on hand to document the afore mentioned fierce costumes, illicit hook ups and humiliating drunken behavior of your friends and coworkers.
  10. You don’t have to spend thousands to host fabulous. Style is available on any budget with a little help and a lot of creativity from your friends at PartyInk!
