Review
"An encouraging, upbeat, and useful call to host parties and make friends. This debut guide offers a new strategy for meeting people and networking. There's a touchingly earnest element to the way the author leaves nothing to chance. He devotes energetic attention to everything from handling RSVPs to managing the right mix of attendees and preparing the space for an influx of guests. He provides innumerable helpful hints and "party pro tips" for prospective hosts, everything from posting little map directions on the stairsto a wide array of possible icebreakers designed to get people talking and having fun. Anyone who has ever attended a networking event (or a dinner party) will fervently hope that Gray's idea takes root and becomes universal.
—Kirkus Reviews
BOOKLIFE REVIEWS BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY; EDITOR'S PICK
Gray's tone is conversational and light, suiting the subject, and this is an inviting and polished manual for adults looking to expand their network, make new friends, or simply plan a winning get-together. Gray explains the power of positive icebreakers, how to cut off a long-winded guest, and even how to avoid the awkward period when guests first arrive. Interviews with successful party hosts demonstrate the possibilities of his techniques, even in small homes and apartments, and charming illustrations break up the manual and keep the tone light. Readers will come away with an in-depth plan to host a soirée and grow a guest list—and also reason to expect it will actually be fun. Gray's conversational tone makes a relaxing read out of a potentially stressful situation, demystifying each step of party planning and breaking the process down into three key parts, "The Basics," "The Logistics," and "Party Time."

Praise for The 2-Hour Cocktail Party:
"A must read for anyone who wants to host a great event. Practical, actionable, and useful."
—James Clear, author of the #1 bestseller, Atomic Habits
"Success (and happiness in general) isn't about what you know - it's about who you know. This book is a guide to making new relationships and making them happen more often and in a fun way. Nick Gray is a master of getting people together. I highly recommend this book!"
— Nick Huber, The Sweaty Startup
"Small gatherings are perfect for renewing old friendships and more importantly, for making new friends. Nick Gray has written a short book - The 2-Hour Cocktail Party - that gives you explicit step by step instructions on how to host highly structured parties at your home that maximize conversations. Gray has hosted hundreds of these non-dinner parties and his tips are exactly what works in my experience. I didn't think I'd need a book to help me throw a party, but his directions and checklists - down to what the emails should say, and what to do each day in the countdown before the party are incredibly useful, and even inspiring. Get this book, throw a 2-hour party with name tags and icebreaker questions, and it will be great!"
— Kevin Kelly
"Fun and engaging. This book is a proactive do-it-yourself guide to party hosting and network building."
— Ben Casnocha, Co-Founder of Village Global, New York Times bestselling author
"I've never read a more practical and clear instruction manual about parties. Nick shows you the detailed, step by step instructions to host your own small party, and does it in a way that makes you feel maximally confident for your big day. No one has thought more about how to do this. This book contains all that experience ready for you to learn."
— Trevor McKendrick, CEO & Co-Founder of Seis
"Easy to use advice for anyone to host a party, even introverts like me. Want to host great parties? Want to build your network and career? Take Nick's framework in this book and learn how."
— David Hauser, Founder of Grasshopper, Vanilla, Chargify + more

Former Executive Director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History
"Nick's book takes the guesswork out of building meaningful relationships. Just use the systems he's built, plan your first party, and let your network grow to all new heights. Goofy as hell but full of tremendously applicable systems."— Chris Schembra, USA Today's Gratitude Guru
"When it comes to socializing, Nick is the most creative adult I know. Parties with him are unlike anything I've seen. He's a master at creating memories, easing social tension at parties, and facilitating new friendships."—David Perell, Write of Passage

It is a beautifully simple method of bringing people together that is super easy and stress-free for the hosts and uniquely fun for the guests."
— John Huber, Investor, Saber Capital Management
"If you've been a hermit during COVID or if you haven't been able to meet many new people over the past few years, this book is your chance to re-ignite your relationships and change your life."
