When the party has to be right you would enlist the help of "The Entertainologist" LuLu Powers, the power behind most of LA's a-list events. She is the new Food and Entertaining editor of a column in House Beautiful called appropriately, "Life at Lulu's."

We asked her to give us the scoop on what the "haves" can't party without. Here is her insider’s advice:

1. What are people obsessing over right now? Unique specialty cocktails AKA SNEEKY’S and Caviar bars
2. Uniqueness versus tried-and-true? Depends on one's mood. A bit of both always works.
3. Pinterest - love or hate? Love. I am inspired by everything I see……….
4. Must-Have? Wine and alcohol, potage chips, popcorn and parmesan
5. Must-Avoid? The only thing to avoid is a dull guest………When you're having a party get someone to help you clean up in the kitchen, have your kids help. Use a service - people need work just ask a friend who you think is a great entertainer for suggestions. If paid help is out of the question get crates lined with garbage bags and dump all the dirty stuff in there until much, much later.

We’d almost venture to guess that Lulu’s namesake is exactly what makes her such a fabulous hostess and planner; she just might have special 'powers.’ But the truth is, we know that preparation, experience and flare for finding quality pieces paired with knowing the tricks of the trade are essential to delivering A list events. Being able to rely on quality pieces like the right table cover not only back up all your gorgeous details and decor, they give you the confidence that your event wont go amiss.

How Tablevogue Helps Liberate your Inner ‘Power’ Hostess

When you’re hosting a party, you are balancing delegating, troubleshooting, and putting out metaphoric fires (sometimes, maybe even actual ones!) with mingling and chatting in a natural way, never losing your composure or letting your guests know what’s really on your mind. If you’re worried about a breeze coming through and blowing that wine glass on your flimsy white table cover, it’ll be next to impossible to keep your smile from melting into an expression of worry.

Tablevogue fully fitted table covers help the everyday hostess entertain like a pro. Quick and easy placement requires no pins or clips and the finished look is polished and neat, hiding the old, perhaps ugly tables underneath without looking like a makeshift solution. The quality of the material results in a fit that falls heavy enough to keep it flush against the table without showing off the shape details underneath or blowing up with a breeze; it’s also light enough to where it’s easy to carry. The best part is the myriad options available to fit any occasion or space The 6 foot fitted table cover in red, natural, black, white or other colors offer options for every season that are perfect for professional, neat looking displays or promotional tabling. The 34 inch fitted table cover in natural or white make for perfect champagne table or drink station at engagement parties; also, cake tables at wedding receptions or birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs and more. For a backyard or outdoor event, 72 inch fitted round table covers are perfect for everything from gift tables to seating your guests for meals and champagne toasts.

Take a page from Lulu’s book and stay prepared - preparation = confidence and confidence = a smooth, successful event. Having the right pieces to support you will take your event from “that was a nice event” to “how did she do it?!”
