The Shower Diva and Melissa Joan Hart
Sharing party ideas and raising money for families in need are all in a day’s work for these two busy Moms.
How do two professional women with young families and crammed schedules manage to throw spectacular parties and still have time left over to serve their communities? If the two women are Melissa Joan Hart and Susan Newton, the answer is, “With a little help from our friends!”
Producer and Grandmother-to-Be Paula Hart, phoned Susan “The Shower Diva” a few years ago to place an order for Melissa’s upcoming shower. Of course, Personalized Baby Bingo from BadaBadaBingo.com was on the game list. Afterward, Melissa told us, “I loved Baby Bingo!”

Both Susan and Melissa are active advocates and have served on the board for Friends of the Family (www.fofca.org), a nonprofit organization helping foster strong, self-sufficient families and resilient children by providing mental health and human development programs in the greater Los Angeles area.
For the last 12 years, Susan has designed most of the marketing collateral for Friends of the Family while Melissa’s fundraising work has helped the charity continue to offer lifechanging and life-saving services.
When Mother-Daughter team Paula Hart and Melissa Joan Hart opened their desserterie in Sherman Oaks, California, SweetHarts, Susan “The Shower Diva” and her Diva Darlings celebrated their grand opening by creating a line of invitations and other party favors based on Melissa’s party theme:

Team Diva wishes Paula and Melissa the sweetest success ever!!
Melissa Joan Hart was our Guest Contributor for May 2009 on TheShowerDiva.com, our online magazine. “It was an honor to have Melissa contribute her party-planning ideas,” Susan remarked later, “because Melissa embodies The Shower Diva’s philosophy: ‘It’s all about the love.’”
