The two party blogs Notes on a Party and Games and Gatherings became one in 2023. You may know Notes on a Party as a party-planning blog dedicated to the art of entertaining, and it fits perfectly with the games and get-togethers we share on this website.

Notes on a Party originated as an online magazine created by the party planner Celia Chen, in New York. She was known as "The Lazy Hostess."
