Description

Margaret Chiavini has attended more than fifty funerals. After watching a friend’s sudden death leave his wife buried in logistical chaos—and then witnessing her mother-in-law’s beautifully pre-planned farewell unfold with clarity and intention—she had a wake-up call. Not about death, but about life. It’s Your Party is a warm, practical, and surprisingly joyful guide that begins where most of us don’t want to go: the end. From planning a celebration of life to organizing passwords, assets, and everyday details, Chiavini walks you through what matters, both practically and personally. As you move through the process, you may find yourself thinking more intentionally about your own life: what matters, what you value, and what you want it to reflect. Along the way, you’ll learn how to: * Plan a celebration of life that feels true to you * Make clear decisions that ease the burden on loved ones * Organize the details that matter most * Reflect on how you want to be remembered—and why * Start living with greater intention now Don’t wait. It’s your party.

Awards & Endorsements

Review
“Margaret Chiavini has a rare gift for turning a difficult topic into something deeply meaningful and even uplifting. It’s Your Party is a powerful reminder to stop waiting and start living with intention, gratitude, and purpose.” — Dan Johnson President, The Danco Group of Companies

“It's Your Party is the book I didn't know I needed. Margaret Chiavini has pulled off something genuinely rare: she's written about death in a way that makes you want to leap out of your chair and start living. With warmth, wit, and disarming honesty, she transforms the daunting task of ‘getting your affairs in order’ into an act of profound self-respect—and self-discovery. This isn't a book about endings. It's a masterclass in not sleepwalking through the middle. Read it, plan the party, and then go live a life worth celebrating.” — Joseph F. Dutra President & CEO, Kimmie Candy

“I have always been struck by Margaret’s infectious joy, attitude of gratitude, and unquenchable thirst for knowledge and new experiences. She’s one of the smartest, most intuitive, and well-loved people I’ve ever had the great fortune of meeting, and I highly value our friendship. Of course, she would have the foresight to gift us with a guide to make the loss of a loved one less chaotic and more meaningful while simultaneously encouraging us to live the lives we dream of—BRAVO!
