• Set the Date ASAP – If 2020 taught us anything, it’s hard to know for sure if plans will work out. But it doesn’t hurt to make them anyway. Therefore, it’s a great idea to book a date for your graduation party as soon as you can. This is especially true since most event centers , venues, and vendors are getting booked up fast because of current parties and delayed events. That being said, once you choose a date, start booking vendors as soon as you can. 

• Make Personalized Decorations – The most special thing about your graduation party is your graduate, so use that to inspire personalized decorations. Use this as a chance to show off all they accomplished in school, be it sports, arts, education, or whatever else they love. You can also throw in some baby pictures for a fun and adorable touch. 

• Rent or Borrow Chairs – If you’re hosting the party at your home, you’re going to need lots and lots of extra chairs and tables. After all, people need places to sit down, eat, relax, and chat. Its best to look into local rental companies so you can get all the furniture you need in one place. However, if you’re working on a budget, you can also try and borrow addition chairs and tables from friends, family, or neighbors. 

• Get a Caterer – Feeding a large group of people is not easy. While its technically possible for you to make all the food for your graduation party, it would be much, much easier to get catering. You can hire a catering company to do the food, or you can find a local restaurant that does catering for events. Plus, if you hire someone to make and serve the food, you can focus on enjoying the party. 

• Book an Event Center – While you can host the party at home, its probably best to book an event center. This way you’ll be sure to have enough space for everyone on your guest list and you won’t have to worry about getting extra tables and chair, cleaning up after the event, or even doing any work while the event is happening. Also most event centers have onsite catering or can recommend catering companies – so the food will be taken care of.
