By Karina Joyce


Graduating from high school or college is a wonderful time for boys or girls or young adults. Having a great and memorable party requires a lot of careful planning. From creating a guest list, sending out party invitations, deciding on how many guests will be there, determining the budget, choosing the place, ordering food and drinks, coordinating to finally having the party! Be sure to consult with parents who had experiences throwing graduation party if this is going to be your first time. And always have contingency plans just in case something does not go as planned.

The traditional ways of sending out graduation invitation is not cheap if you are sending to a lot of guests. What people usually do is they make customized photo cards at Wal-Mart or Walgreens and send them out. That can get expensive if you need to send to couple hundreds of people.

The tip is to plan ahead and consider all possible options available. Planning a party is a lot of fun.

As with all parties, it's always a good idea to have a contingency plan just in case things go in different directions than as planned. If the party is held outside, having extra lawn chairs and tables wouldn't be a bad idea. If the party is small and held outside in the backyard, having a tent just case it rains will be helpful. If you are serving food and drinks and they run out quicker than planned, knowing how to replenish food and drinks will also be important. If you need more tips on planning a party, you can search online and find helpful information.

And don't forget to serve beverages at the party. Bottled water, soda, punch, etc are great. And as to alcohol, many states' legal drinking age is above most the age of most high school graduates. So check with local law on illegal drinking age. And for deserts, homemade cookies and ice creams will be good choices. Your neighbors will be happy to help out by bringing out their recipes of deserts.
