If You've Ever Wanted to Throw a Pinterest-Worthy Party, You Need Darcy Miller's "Celebrate Everything"

Even a professional party planner learns from her mistakes. When reminiscing about one of her daughter's sleepovers, Darcy recalls expecting too much out of the guests. "When my daughter wanted to have her first sleepover party, we invited 10 kids and had everyone stay for activities the second day," she says. "After realizing we invited way too many kids and had them stay way too long the next day (pickup wasn’t until 2 p.m. the next day!), I made some changes in all the slumber parties that came after! I’ve since learned that it’s best to have a fun night with some games, an activity, and then breakfast in your PJs, but to make pickup a little earlier the next day so the party ends before everyone gets cranky — it’s always good to end on a high note."
