Planning parties for Hollywood's hottest stars has been my job for nearly 20 years, so when it came time to celebrate Halloween with my baby boy Lucas, you can imagine how excited I was!

Tradition, family, and friends are the most important things I love to share with my son, so I set out to put together a kids Halloween party that we would all remember. I have a set formula for big event planning which I scale down for personal parties.

The key is to stay organized and keep detailed lists. Follow my personal tips as you plan your next party.
