Planning Graduation Parties - Invitations
Instead of sending the same old store-bought invitations for your graduation party try this:
*Use a computer or hand-print your invitation on a piece of parchment, roll the paper up, tie with a ribbon and send in tiny mailing tubes.
Graduation Party Games
Pin the mustache on the teacher Graduation Party Game!
If you know how to play Pin the Tail on the Donkey, you know how to play pin the mustache or glasses, etc. on the teacher. Construction paper will work fine for this game. You will need a sizable teacher picture. Which picture you ask? Ask the graduate of course!
Graduation Party Themes
Themes are always fun. At least they are for the graduation party planner. Make sure you run this one past the graduate. Don't assume anything. Some well-intentioned probing questions with the graduate will reveal some acceptable themes. Once you choose the graduation party theme, the food is easy. Let me see - Sponge Bob; seafood, Western; BBQ, Barbie; Hey -forget the party - a nice brand new shiny pink Corvette or Ferrari with go great with my new outfit!
Preparing a Graduation Party
Unless you are a chef and have two refrigerators in the basement and one in the garage, consider using a caterer to perform all or some of the necessary things. If you are spending over 10-12 George Washington's per person (consider the little people will eat half as much - but drink twice as much beverages!) it might not be worth the hassle to go it alone.
Graduation Party Suggestions - A Game
It might be corny, but a round of "Guess the Guest" from a board of pictures can be fun. A graduation party has people of all ages so find baby pictures, middle school pictures or funny pictures! The one who guesses the most, wins. Afterwards, use the photos as name tags for everyone. People can get to know eachother better and have a good laugh in the process.
Graduation Party Games
WATER BALLOON GAMES
Here's something really cool! If the graduation party is outside when it's warm and everyone is dressed accordingly, a water balloon shootout might be a lot of fun.
Items needed:
1. Plastic funnel about the size of the water balloon you are going to use when filled.
2. Rubber tubing – two pieces about 3 feet long is good.
Graduation Parties and the Police
I like police persons. They are our friends. But why does the hair on the back of our necks stand at attention every time a police car pulls up behind us at a traffic light? Seriously, let them know of your intentions, especially if you are having an open house and alcohol will be served. Head off the problem at the pass. Everything from the guests to the valets or the neighbor who doesn't like neighbors. Remember you arranged this party - control it properly.
This is the responsible adult part. 2 holes are made at opposite side of the wide end of the funnel large enough to pass the tubing through. Make good strong knots. There you have it. A home made water balloon launcher.
Set up objects to hit over. Whoever knocks over the most wins. All you need now are people and your favorite tunes!
