Graduation Party Tips
Graduation Party Planning Expectations
Remember that you are giving this party for someone that is near and dear to you. You raised them from just a twinkle in your eye. Sometimes you wondered if it would ever happen- but it did. Be proud. But, it is their party - you only toiled until your knuckles were raw and you haven’t slept in a week and…on the other hand, it’s probably your money. Sit your graduate down and come to an understanding before the event and review each person’s expectations. Do’s, don’ts and I could live with that’s.
Graduation Party Invitations
Have your ever thought of making your graduation party invitations look like rolled up diplomas? If you are good at it, or you know someone who is, they can write the diploma in script. Better yet - a good word-processing program will have just the font you are looking for. If you can make the diploma/invitation from parchment paper, finish it up with colored ribbons of the school colors.
Graduation Party Activity
My graduates always seemed to have their yearbooks around for signatures and small notations about what they think each friend will be doing in 20 years. Get a group together to see how many people have the same idea about the graduate. Put it in a time capsule. It will be fun in 20 years to see who was right. Those are the people you want for a stockbroker!
Graduation Party Foods
One graduation party idea is that because many people today are health conscious, the number and variety
of “finger foods” is endless. It’s still all right to put out the chips and pretzels, but we are seeing more and more table space for the vegetables. Put out two or three varieties of dip, veggie, ranch, jalapeno, cheddar, spinach, and artichoke in fancy themed serving dishes. This type of food goes a long way and rarely is there any left!
Graduation Party Photography Tips
Whatever you choose for photography for your graduation party, pocket camera, digital camera or video recorder, make sure they work (can we assume you can operate the camera?), you have film, memory chips, videos, etc. You never know when the “Kodak” moment will arise. As they say, a word to the wise is sufficient.
Graduation Party Planning Ideas - The Music
Let’s face it. Unless you own your record label, the graduate is probably way ahead of you on this one. Provide the music machine and leave the rest up to the graduate. You might want to inform your graduate about the noise level, the language in the songs (remember, you are going to be broadcasting this to the neighborhood) and the load limit on your deck! Most of all make sure the graduate appreciates the older folks and saves a special dance for Grandma or Grandpa.
