subject: Steps In Planning A Graduation Party [print this page] There are so many different types of graduation ceremonies today. Graduations from nursery school to junior high to high school, college and beyond are commonly celebrated with big parties. Planning a graduation party for your loved one can be a fun and rewarding experience. The things you need to consider for a graduation party are outlined below.
First, give some consideration to the party guest list. When you are planning a graduation party for a small child, it is simple enough to just invite their whole class, but with teens or adults it can be more difficult to determine a good guest list. Try to include family, close friends, work colleagues, and classmates of the graduate. If you are unsure about who to include, just ask the graduate and they are sure to tell you who they would like to be included. If the graduation party is a surprise, you may want to ask a close friend of the graduate if they can help with the guest list. Of course, a surprise party needs to be kept under wraps, so make sure that you specify it is a surprise on the invitations; and a few verbal reminders might not hurt either.
Another idea that can make a graduation party more fun is themed decorations. With the wide range of options you are sure to have plenty of choice. Good decoration ideas can include streamers, banners, and cups and plates in the graduate's favorite colors or school colors. You can even buy a cake shaped like a graduation cap or a diploma. If you prefer to avoid the typical graduation themes, you can always choose a theme based on the interests of the graduate. If they enjoy a certain hobby or activity, you can have a cake custom made to reflect that. Ask the guest of honor what they would like, they may give you some great concepts for the theme.
Planning a graduation party for the new graduate in your life will give you the chance to help them to celebrate a major milestone in their life. This type of party is fun for everyone and creates great and lasting memories of this special time so remember to take plenty of pictures.
