When Oprah throws a party, everyone comes! And that's exactly what happened Tuesday in Chicago when the talk show guru celebrated her 24th season with a soiree people will be talking about for quite a while. While you may not have the budget Miss "O" was working with, there's still much to learn about party planning from the talk show host. Oprah made sure to cover all the essentials:
Great music (Jennifer Hudson, James Taylor, and the Black Eyed Peas all performed), location (shutting down three blocks of Michigan Ave. ain't too shabby), entertainment (magician Criss Angel dazzled party goers with some amazing tricks), and of course fabulous guests (how about thousands of "O" fans?). Most importantly, Oprah made sure to take extra special care of her guests, showing them her appreciation by providing water stations, porta potties, and transportation for those with disabilities. Next time you throw an event, instead of aiming to party like a rockstar think about partying like Oprah!
Be sure to catch the Oprah show on Thursday, September 10 to watch all the great highlights from the 24th Season Kickoff Party or check out the Black Eyed Peas Flash Mob performance below.
