High School Graduation Party Planning Made Easy

It's never too soon to begin making arrangements for the graduate's most memorable day. Below are listed a few ideas to get the party off to a good start.

Distribute novelty 2006 sunglasses for everyone to wear, with a decorative crown for the special graduate.

Invitations

Produce hand made invitations utilising graduation themes; books, diplomas, pens, gowns and mortarboards. The invitations can be rolled up in diploma style and tied with a ribbon.

Party Activities and Games

Beware of overdoing the activity planning as groups of young people love to gather together and simply chat. Here are a few non intrusive activities which aren't too regimented but keep the conversation alive.

* Ask guests to bring a plain white T-shirt for everyone to sign as a keepsake.

* Produce a 'time capsule' box to place some item relevant to their time at school containing memorabilia, personal items, 'in' jokes and notes. This can be opened years later for fond reminiscing.

*Collect photographs of the special graduate from crib to graduation day and assemble them on a large poster with funny captions for everyone to see.

* Throw water balloons.

* Knock down a Pinata

* Guess the teacher - stick a teacher's name on the back of every guest.The guest has to guess which teacher they are from clues acted out by the fellow guests.

*Improvise 'Pin the tail on the Donkey' to become 'Pin the Tail on the Teacher'. Attach a teacher's picture to a wall and then the "tail" can be any item of choice - mad hair, glasses, accessories, etc.

Eating and Drinking

Fork and finger food work well, as talking and socializing will be paramount. Miniature sombreros and nachos with a salsa should be on every table with nothing too difficult to carry and eat.

The ambience is all important and should be relaxed with conversation flowing and memories being made. Happy graduation
