Choose Your Budget
Determining your budget is the first step prior to hosting any type of event. Are you planning on the graduation party to be a small intimate gathering or are you going with something bigger and lavish?
After you have decided on a budget you would like to spend on your graduation party, you can organize the rest of the celebration according to the budget.
Be aware that the greater number of people you are planning to invite, the greater the cost will be. Therefore, if you have lots of relatives and friends that you plan to invite, think about increasing your budget. If your budget if lower then you will want to limit the number of people you invite.
In determining your budget you will be able to decide whether you want to host the event at your home or in a location.
Party Rentals
If you plan to hold the graduation celebration at an event space it’s important to choose the right party rental within your price range and must also accommodate the amount of guests you plan on inviting. If you’re holding it outside you most likely will want to rent a few tents for coverage along with table and chairs for your guests to sit and be able to place the food down. A&B Party Rentals has the tents, chairs and tables to be able to throw your graduation party.
Invites
Once you’ve decided on your budget and where the party will take place. It’s now time to distribute invitations. Before you mail out your invitations consider whom you want to invite to the event. Do not feel pressured to invite everyone in the graduate’s contact list. Make sure to invite only the people you really desire to invite and limit the number of guests that accommodate your budget.
You can send invitations in the mail or send your guests and email with a digital invitation where they can RSVP. The digital invitation is budget friendly and less time consuming as you can BCC everyone on your list and cuts down on the cost of stamps and mail time.
No matter what you decide to do, make sure to distribute invitation as soon as you can and set a date for guest to RSVP by. This will ensure that there are no scheduling conflicts with the guests and you will be aware the number of guests that are expected to attend.
Create a Party Theme
Every great party requires a unique theme. There are a lot of ideas for graduation parties to pick from. This includes decorations, colors, and more.

You can also display pictures of your graduate during their time in high school or college. You may also want to include achievements or special interests, but make sure you announce the graduation year for your student.
