Party Patter : Tips On How To Plan A Special Graduation Party.

 The graduation season is upon us.Here are some ideas to create that special day.Set the time and date. Plan your party budget. If your budget is a concern why not have a double graduation with a friend? Pick a theme: it can be as simple as the school colors or as detailed as a college major. For high school graduations where alcohol is a concern why not make party mocktails? The ingredients can be purchased at your local grocery store.  Looking for graduation centerpiece ideas? Last week I used graduation motarboards I purchased online. Put a hat in the center of each table and place a floral  arrangement on the top. Make sure you secure the hat for the weight of the arrangement. You can make your own floral  piece by purchasing the flowers at your local grocery store, or  use a professional  florist.  Another easy centerpiece idea is to make copies of the graduates diploma .Tie them with ribbon in the school colors and place on the guest tables.Oh, and don't forget you will need a card box. That's simple: find a box, wrap it  and put a slit in the middle  and you have your own personalized card holder. Lastly, take the hassle out of your party by employing some help, such as a party server. That will give you the freedom to enjoy your party. Party servers will help you serve your food, maintain your buffet, and clean everything up . There are a few agencies in the western suburbs that can provide this service for you.So go ahead—pick a theme and, of course, have fun !www.barbaraseleganttouchstaffing.com
