Planning a graduation party can be an exciting but daunting task. As we gear up for another busy grad season, we have compiled our top tips to help guide your party planning!
Start Early: Start planning your grad party well in advance to secure the best venues, caterers, and options. Now is the time! If you are not sure of all your plans, but want to put a retainer/deposit down to secure services as details develop, it's a great idea to do so.
Choose a Theme: A theme for the party adds an extra element of fun and cohesion. The theme can be related to the graduate's interests, future plans, or simply a favorite color scheme. This will make the party more memorable and provide direction for decorations and activities.
Decorations/Photo Booth: Balloons/backdrops add color and dimension to the party space, making a clear focal point in the party space. Use quality and professional materials (ours!), so you can be confident the decor will look beautiful for the duration of the event. Ask a friend or family member to take pics to capture all the precious memories!
Create a Checklist: This will help ensure that nothing is forgotten and that everything runs smoothly on the day of the event. Break your list out into timelines (by month, week, day) to make it manageable. Write it in a notebook or planner to be handy and visible. Set reminders on your phone to stay on track.
Have Blank Envelopes for Guests to write their address on by the card box: This can be a life-saver for the grad when they write out their thank you notes. Simply have a stack of blank envelopes with a framed note instructing guests to write their address and toss in a basket or grad card box.
Share QR code with Grad's Venmo: Etsy has some really classy QR code templates with an option for guests to contribute to the grad's future plans. These can be printed and framed. If you are a DIY'r, you can create these on Canva yourself!
