When someone’s graduation day arrives, it’s undoubtedly a very special occasion for them, their friends and their family. Naturally, they’ll want to celebrate!
Keeping that in mind, here are three tips for planning a memorable graduation party:
1. Send out invitations
When organising a party, you could simply give people a call and ask them if they’re available, though this might prove very time consuming when everyone wants a chat! However, it feels far more personal and special when you send out invitations. You’ll be able to include all the relevant information – such as the date, time and venue – and even include an RSVP with contact details so you can get an idea of numbers in advance and plan your food and drink accordingly. Furthermore, an invitation for a party on such a special day will no doubt be kept as a cherished memento by your loved ones - which is a lovely thought!
2. Add a personal touch
Graduation days always make us think about the person in question’s life up to that point. It’s lovely to remember how far they’ve come and the great times you’ve shared with them. You can add a personal touch to someone’s graduation party by printing off photographs of them when they were younger and using them to decorate the walls. Alternatively, many modern televisions include a USB slot which should allow you to display your pictures on the big screen! You could also play the person’s favourite music and serve their favourite food and drink. These small details will be greatly appreciated and ensure the person in question has a party they’ll never forget.
3. Save the gifts until the end
It’s easy to get excited and swept up in the excitement of a party, but try to save the presents until the end if you can – or at least until everyone has eaten and had a drink. This will ensure the happy graduate can enjoy themselves without worrying about not saying thank you to everyone or being uncertain who gave which gift. A dedicated time later on can make the experience more enjoyable for everyone as they share in the gift giving together.
