This giveaway is closed. Congratulations goes to Cynthia.

As you know, I love P&G and all of their products! One of my favorite products are their thick and absorbent Bounty Paper Towels!  In hundreds of trails, Bounty was looking out for you when hosting your very own party. When cleaning up spills and messes left behind,Bounty’s New Improved Trap & Lock technology is perfected by their reinforced fiber network making cleaning up a mess possible with just one sheet!

This past weekend, we not only celebrated my daughter’s 4th birthday party but we hosted the weather LIVE from our front yard on the local news station! That’s right, my last party was hosted on a local television station for all to see. With neighbors in lawn chairs across the yard, Sonny’s BBQ and a massive sheet cake – Bounty paper towels were a must! I admit, I am not always the best entertainer, but when I come together with friends and family and we all pitch in for work, parties become great and of little stress. Being on TV might not be your most relaxing situation, but watching kids play in a safe, blocked off street, putting up tents and lawn chairs makes everyone feel laid back and comfortable from their own home. All of us have the ability to come and go and welcome the weekend with laughter and a fun atmosphere. It also brings our neighborhood together making us more like family rather than acquaintances.

Helpful Party Tips from Bounty:

  • Come One, Come All: Can’t find a babysitter in time for your event?  Have your guests bring their children. Set up a kids’ table with coloring books, puzzles, and of course Bounty to take care of any unexpected spills. This way you can tend to your guests, and keep the kids entertained too.
  • Set the Mood: Table settings are a great way to give your gathering a personality. Your table décor can be as simple as flowers, candles or a table runner. It will add some drama to your meal, while doubling as a conversation piece.  And don’t forget the Bounty Quilted Napkins with new print designs that are dressed to impress at any social gathering
  • Just a Taste: Keep your appetizers and finger foods to a one bite minimum. This allows your guests to mingle freely, without worrying about talking with their mouths full of food or receiving a crumb-filled handshake.
  • Give Aways: Don’t know what to do with all those leftovers? Everybody loves doggy bags!  Send your guests home with one so they can enjoy your meal the next day, and save them some time in the kitchen.  And you won’t have to worry about throwing away food or crowding your fridge.

    A perfect party is when people participate in the making of some food- like grilled pizza’s!

  4. cynthia says

    Entertaining with a easy theme- mexican salsas, chips and fajitas. Don’t worry about having
    a zillion things- people like simple and remember it for a long time.

  18. Michelle Best says

    We are always hosting people at our house and my biggest tip is to relax! Clean as you go and ask your guests to do what you need them to do to make your workload lighter. For example asking them to rinse their plates and place them into a dishwasher. And when they offer to help chances are they really want to help, LET THEM!

  19. Erin F. says

    I like you on facebook.
    A good party is when you have good family and friends around with bbq hamburgers, hot dogs, clams, and oyster with some drinks.

  21. rachel defrees says

    I like you on facebook. My party suggestion is to always have a back-up plan in case the weather decides to go against your original plans.

  22. Falguni Patel says

    The company of people you enjoy + soothing fragrant candles and light music. This will relax you as well as let you have a small party with enjoyment.

  47. Jennifer says

    Have plenty of finger food and chilled drink! Music also helps to lighten up the mood

  52. Trung Nguyen says

    My tip is that get people involved in the shopping, prep, and cooking. That creates the party atmosphere.

  56. carina says

    The pefect party involves, healthy buffet with fresh fruits, grilled anything, colorful, recyclable disposable plates and table ware and lots of fun friends gathering for a themed celebration.

    p.s. I also keep insect repellent available for me and my guests to use for late night patio parties.

  62. julie says

    My best tip is to have plenty of games to keep the kids busy, and plenty of alcohol for the parents!

  68. Katrina E says

    My biggest tip is to not stress to much and just enjoy your time with family and friends.

  74. Julia says

    Have several coolers with a wide variety of beverages and separate garbage cans for trash and cans & bottles

  79. Lori S says

  99. jen e says

    RELAX!! the best party is w/ friends & family & enlist there help!! that way you can sit and enjoy yourself.. as long as you have lots of laughter it’s all good!!
    as them to help you plan the menu, organize your party space, barrow serving platters & beverages tubs. that way everyone is vested in a successful party!

  101. Patricia Crowley says

    My best tip is to keep the food simple and fresh! The less preparation, means more time to have fun!

    The perfect party is outdoors, with smores, hotdogs, family, friends and lots of bounty paper towels and napkins to clean up the mess from the smores and spilled drinks.

  111. Rebekah says

    Give yourself plenty of time to plan, organize and prepare for the party. if someone offers to help, let them. It’s not about you doing all the work, it’s about everyone enjoying themselves with friends and family, including you!

Just relax, have fun, keep it simple and enjoy good food with friends.creating memories are what matter the most.
