Simple Gatherings Launch Party GIVEAWAY
Enter this Simple Gatherings Launch Party GIVEAWAY, with more details of Melissa Michael’s new book, Simple Gatherings, 50 Ways to Inspire Connection!
Friends, are you wanting to host a gathering this fall, but your fears or time constraints are telling you “don’t do it?” Melissa Michaels has just written a brand new book, Simple Gatherings, and it includes 50 simple ideas for how to connect with others, with some really fun simple party ideas!
This book IS about making a gathering feel special, but NOT about doing it all perfectly :)
Guests tend to remember these four elements of a gathering: the feast, the conversation, the atmosphere, and the special touches. But what if you can’t get it all right, or this becomes too overwhelming?
Then this book is for you (and me)!
Today is BOOK LAUNCH DAY for Melissa!
Melissa tells you why hospitaltiy is a matter of the heart, and shares how to find your style, leave your imperfections at the door, and create a simple gathering.
Simple Gatherings is available today on Amazon!

Take a Quiz
By the way, what kind of hostess are you? Knowing your style may help you as a hostess! For example, if you’re an introvert, and you don’t like table conversation, come up with an easy question to ask your guests. Or, read Melissa’s “conversation” chapter! It will give you confidene and courage, I promise.
We’ve had some fun gatherings this past year in our new mountain home. Only a couple were really thought out with a lot of detail, but the rest? Casual, easy, low-key, come one, come all, which is my hostessing style! (PS–I just like to know roughly how many are coming, so I can have enough table settings and chairs!)
Take the short quiz, HERE!
Sneak peek at mine: Easy Breezy!
I really do like easy, a few details (like set a pretty table), but the table experience is what I’m all about!
Now for this BEAUTIFUL and unique prize set. Don’t forget to click over to each of the other hostesses to enter their giveaways, too.

This nervous nester is excited for the chance to win!
We love hosting Thanksgiving at our house. It’s the one time a year where our families from near and far can be together.
I don’t think I’ve hosted anything since Christmas Eve dinner and gifts with immediate family. And that was a few years ago!
I recently attended a wedding shower that had a shabby chic theme-everything was decorated beautifully!
The description from the quiz perfectly matches my style!
We hosted a birthday party for my son.
We have bible study at our home every first and third Sunday evening. I always prepare all the foods/refreshments for the group. It’s always a great gathering!
We recently had a birthday party for my daughter
Small group gathering for my Sunday School. 4 couples, margaritas, lots of chips and dips on the deck while the kids played basketball in the driveway!
Nervous nester :)
My house is very small, so we mostly plan “family” parties to celebrate birthdays, holidays, etc. with immediate family or host a couple over for dinner. Now that it is starting to cool down, we can have more people over because we do have a large deck and fall is a perfect time to have people over for a cookout and have it on the deck.
I love to host parties, but I am an admitted perfectionist. I need to learn to let some things go!
Loving this giveaway! My most memorable so far this year is my best friend’s party that I helped cohost. It was decorated with fresh flowers and diy signs, markers and tags. We had balloons and finger foods that we all participated in making. Such a fun time.
We planned an event for my daughter’s 5th birthday with the theme of unicorns. I did as much as I could to make the entire Living Room and eating area be unicorn like as possible. I would’ve joked and said, “WOW, a UNICORN exploded in here :) !!!” It was a lot of fun and to see the smile on my daughter made all the hours of planning worth it.
Another fun book by Melissa – so excited!
We always have people over for the kids birthdays. Good food, good drinks, presents, and great company!
Last Thanksgiving, at my son’s, broke a tooth on the Brussels sprouts
Looks fun and fab! I love the towel and the shoes by the front door!
this is great! apparently I am a social butterfly :)
Beautiful book! Can’t wait to read it!
How fun this is!
we just did an at home party for my son’s 7th birthday
The last memorable gathering I hosted was an 88th birthday party for my grandmother. We jazzed up her favorite spaghetti and meatballs and had 25 guests. It was a huge success!
Love this! The last gathering I had was hosting a meeting for Bible study volunteers.
Love this!
