Celebrity event planner David Tutera has put his signature flair into a new book — “Big Birthdays: The Party Planner Celebrates Life's Moments.” No aspect of planning a birthday party is left unexplained in this lively book, which features 10 milestone birthday parties, including the high points 16, 40 and 75. Each party is crafted around a theme, which Tutera takes to new heights by paying attention to his trademark five components: the look, scent, touch, taste and sound. Any birthday will be made unforgettable with the help of 100 of “Tutera's Tips,” which address everything from decor to party favors. All 208 pages of the hardcover book are filled with color photographs that show the party in various stages of development. “Big Birthdays” is published by Bulfinch Press and can be ordered at www.davidtutera.com.
