Wow! What a milestone, no matter what the year of graduation is.
So, are we talking preschool, elementary, junior high, high school, college, or grad school? Whatever the case, it's an accomplishment.
So what to do for a celebration? Well, I think that is obvious, think age group.
Now if it is elementary, there is a plethora of options.
Between theme parks, Chuckie Cheese, circus themes and water parks.
How about a home party with tons of games and face painting.
This is a party that will be perfect no matter where it is or what you're doing.
Let's talk about High School.
Well I must say they are certainly different than when I graduated.
It seems that the trend is taking trips, whether a cruise with your family or a trip to Europe with your friends.
If you are having a party at home, be prepared to have more guests then you think.
Once the word gets out about a graduation party at home, you will more than likely have unexpected guests.
Okay now we are at College graduations.
This is so varied.
Maybe you want to have a small family party since your grad is backpacking through Europe.
Or you may want to go all out on this party, you're then going to have to decide a few things.
Will it be a surprise, a theme, possibly an era theme, or something more festive like a luau or masquerade party? Will you be giving a remembrance favor for this special occasion? If you do decide to make it a surprise, make sure you cross- check with other members of the family and best friends that you have invited everyone your grad is close to.
You don't want to offend anyone by leaving them out.
