In a world that often feels disconnected, Having People Over shows the radical joy of hospitality. Author and CEO Chelsea Fagan offers an accessible guide to creating moments worth staying in for—from designing a welcoming space and planning effortless menus to reviving the lost art of grown-up communities.

This book includes guides for:

• Curating a space optimized for entertaining

• A brief history and future of cocktail hour, with recipes for drinks with or without spirits

• Everything you need for dinner parties: inviting guests, setting the table, planning menus, creating mood boards, and enjoying the evening yourself

Practical, approachable, and full of personality, it makes hosting feel fun—not stressful—at any budget.
