Graduation Party Tips

Creating a fun and memorable graduation party doesn’t have to be stressful. Here are some tips that will help it be a success.

Consider The Weather

Since the weather is really unpredictable, it’s always a good idea to have a backup or some way to get out of the rain, just in case.

Preparing for rainy weather includes the food. Have a way to bring in some different types of food if you don’t think you are going to want to stand outside and grill in the rain.

Make It An Open House

If you are having trouble tracking down RSVPs, or you don’t want to go through that hassle, then set up an open house. Allow guests to show up any time between a certain window. This has some extra benefits too.

You won’t have to worry about parking issues if people show up at different times. Plus, it’s easier to plan finger foods for open house guests than an entire meal like a dinner party.

Use An Online Planner For RSVPs

When you are crunched on space and you really do need to know who is coming, then an online party planning app can be a lifesaver. It’s easier to obtain RSVPs when all the guests have to do is tap “yes” in an app.

There are a bunch of free websites and apps that offer this service. These are my favorite ones:

Keep It Simple

Above all, it is important to value your budget, time, and energy and keep it as simple as possible. As long as you have people gathered to celebrate your graduate, that is the most important thing of all. The decorations, games, and food are all second to make sure you keep the day all about their hard work.
