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!

I hosted my daughter’s 4th birthday party – it was a blast!
It says “Social Butterfly”….but I’m not so sure about that. My introverted self questions that one! :)
“Come as you are” front door rug…awesome! How I like to entertain!
The quiz said I’m a perfectionist. That makes sense, I feel too much pressure to plan parties but my most memorable get togethers are when old out of town friends come to visit and I must swallow my pride and accept that my house still has some major flaws and just focus on my friends and catching up.
Perfectionist
Love this. Thank you!
I’m the party giver in my set. I have able and willing helpers who keep the drinks flowing, the food replenished, and help with all the details I set forth. I love having people over for any reason. Planning is key. My last favorite party was a good friend’s surprise birthday. Everyone enjoyed it. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
I love your easy spirit and your comfy style! Thanks for doing this!
The last one I attended was a small gathering of friends for a simple dinner. Lots of laughs!
A casual party with close friends is my favorite.
A bridal shower
Dinner parties are a favorite
I’m a social Butterfly but I think I am borderline laid back like you! Thanks for hosting us on your blog. I like your writing style. :) I’m up here in the PNW, too!
The last event I hosted was a senior high meeting with teenagers and some parents! We had snacks and it was very successful! I wasn’t stressed at all!
inspiring – helps me feel better about hosting:)
We just hosted my daughter’s birthday.
Love these giveaways! Cake stand is great.
I hosted Easter dessert, after Easter brunch. Love to do easy hosting!
I was thrown the most amazing retirement party just last Friday.
We host a pizza night every Friday for our friends and their families
As a full time caregiver for an 88-year-old mom with Alzheimer’s. Smaller get togethers are more manageable. I would love to win these goodies.
Melissa’s book looks amazing. Thanks to all the bloggers for their inspiration and for offering these nice prizes!
I’m the perfectionist for my yearly girls Christmas party!
The last memorable event I planned was a girls night with painting, a favorite things exchange, and lots of fun conversation!
Love to have Family over! Have a nice big house to have more family and friends creating new warm memories.. Fun times!
The last memorable event I hosted was a canning party. We made lots of sweet jams and had lots of laughs and drinks!
