After all of that hard work organizing the party, you'll want to document it. "I always say that years from now, you’ll never regret taking too many photos, but you will miss them if you don’t take any at all," Darcy advises. But you don't need to hire a professional photographer to do so. According to Darcy, simply listen to where the fun is coming from and head there. Taking candid photos of your little one playing with his or her friends and genuinely enjoying the day will make for beautiful photos. Of course, you'll also want to add a few traditional photos to the mix for posterity, too — a group photo, blowing out the candles, the birthday child surrounded by family.
And don't just keep the photos sitting on your phone. Print them and get creative with them. Darcy is known for her scrapboxes that she displays throughout her home. "You can frame a simple photo from the party as the backdrop and save a memento from the celebration like party hat or birthday candle and frame it along with the photo for something to remember the day — even hang it in your kid’s room," she says.
