How to plan a party with less than 10 dollars per guest?

Have you watched one of those cooking shows or party planning programs where they make a big deal about being able to feed one person for less than hundred bucks. Guess what; almost everyone who plans to spend that much does not cook (I have seen that they almost always get a caterer) and those of us who do like to cook and feed our guests home cooked goodies do not like to spend that much money (you can do that even if you serve great wine). That is why when I saw that Seamus Mullen (chef at New York city restaurants Boqueria and Suba) has a great party menu and all it costs is $10, now that makes sense.

Marc Jacobs Arabian Nights Masquerade Ball photos

We love Marc Jacobs for his fashion designs. We know that designers are very creative people and are typically good at whatever they do, but didn't realize that he was also good at throwing parties. That is why when we saw photos of his Arabian Nights Masquerade Ball at the Rainbow Room, we were mesmerized. Here is a slide show, and we are sure, like us, you too will get some great ideas on how to throw a party.
