After years of checking homework, making cupcakes for bake sales and countless hours carpooling, your child is ready to graduate. That can only mean one thing: Party time! There is plenty to celebrate with a graduation and hosting the party at your home can do a lot in terms of keeping the kids safe and happy. Here are some good ideas to incorporated for your big graduation party.
Coordinate the Date
Before you lock down on a date, check with your grad. There might be other parties happening one the same day. You don’t want to get into a competition. It might be that your student has a squad they’re close with and they can all be cohosts to the party.
Decorate With Memories
There is no doubt that you can chronical your grad’s journey through school with all kinds of photos. These should become the centerpieces of your decorating. Go way back to first grade and blow up those class photos. It will give everyone a smile. Of course, there is nothing wrong with a bunch of balloons to make everything festive.
Set the Menu
The type of menu you have for the party will be determined by when you have the party. If it is after dinner, then no one expects to be fed a meal but you could have some appetizers like sliders or mac and cheese. Those can all be gotten from a nearby restaurant. When you consider what you might spend in time and money doing all that cooking on your own, you’ll probably find that caterers are a much more affordable option.
Alert the Neighbors
This is also a time issue. If the party is going to be at night, then you definitely want to let the neighbors know there is going to be an influx of cars and some noise coming from the backyard. Hopefully, they won’t mind and might even join in on the celebration.
