There’s no doubt your budding young adult has gone through a lot to be where they are now, at the threshold of their graduation. Just like there’s no doubt they deserve an awesome graduation party to celebrate all of their accomplishments to this point. Planning the perfect graduation party, though, can be tough – especially when you’re already so focused on making the most of your time with your soon-to-be graduate!
How To Plan A Great Graduation Party
The best tip for planning an amazing graduation party is to start planning early. The last thing you want is to have to compete with other graduating families for venues and outbid others for the amenities you want. Starting your graduation party planning at least or even more than a month in advance will give everyone, including your guests and vendors, plenty of time to get ready for the main event. You can put off decorations, supplies, and other smaller details until a few weeks before the party, but you definitely want to find your venue, finalize your guest list, figure out a theme, order/mail your invitations, choose your food, reserve amenities/entertainment, order your cake, and organize all other major event necessities as early as possible.
