Brie Larson and Courtney McBroom Share Party Guest Tips (Exclusive)

Celebrity friends Brie Larson and Courtney McBroom recently offered their advice on being the perfect party guest, revealing some surprising and inexpensive tips. The duo, who co-authored the book Party People, were interviewed at Better Homes & Gardens’ Red Plaid Café pop-up in New York City on Oct. 17. In a candid conversation, they shared their insights on party etiquette and hosting, shedding light on what it takes to make a memorable impression.

According to Larson and McBroom, being a good partygoer doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. The Oscar winner emphasized the importance of never arriving at a party empty-handed, suggesting a simple yet essential gift. “Bring a bag of ice, no one’s ever mad,” Larson advised. McBroom chimed in, adding, “And also butter.” The duo agreed that extra butter is always a welcomed addition at any gathering.

During the interview, Larson and McBroom highlighted that the worst guest attributes are not material possessions but rather negative attitudes. “Bad attitude [is] the worst thing you can bring,” Larson stated, a sentiment that McBroom wholeheartedly supported. Additionally, McBroom noted, “And a bad plus one,” underlining the impact of guests’ behaviour on the overall party atmosphere.

The dynamic duo’s friendship and professional collaboration have been strengthened through their work on Party People. Reflecting on their partnership, McBroom shared, “We both were scared [going into it.] We’re like, ‘We’re friends. We don’t want to mess up our friendship by working together.’ And if anything, it’s just made our friendship that much stronger, which is nice.” Larson echoed her sentiments, expressing gratitude for the bond they share.

This project isn’t the first time Larson and McBroom have joined forces creatively. McBroom previously acted as a food consultant on Larson’s AppleTV+ show, Lessons in Chemistry. The positive experience of working together on the show inspired them to collaborate on Party People. Larson explained, “It came out of working together on Lessons in Chemistry and really enjoying that process because it’s kind of similar to the cookbook in that we had to talk about, ‘Okay, this is the story we’re telling in the show. This is the scene. Courtney, what food do you think would work for that?’”

Their shared passion for storytelling through food and their mutual love for hosting events led them to create a book that combines their strengths. Larson spoke about their natural affinity for throwing parties, saying, “Meanwhile, we throw a lot of parties naturally in our life, and so in thinking about what we could do together, it felt like the perfect meld of what both of us are good at.” This seamless blend of talents has resulted in a cookbook that not only offers delicious recipes but also celebrates the joy of gathering and entertaining.

In conclusion, Larson and McBroom’s insights on being the ultimate party guests provide a refreshing perspective on hosting etiquette. Their camaraderie and shared interests have culminated in a collaborative project that embodies their friendship and passion for food and hospitality. As Party People hits the shelves, readers can look forward to a delightful blend of practical advice and delectable recipes, serving as a guide to creating memorable and enjoyable gatherings.
