    Graduation 2016 Party Ideas

    Here are a few tips and suggestions to give your upcoming high school or college graduate in New York, Brooklyn, Queens or Long Island the best party ever.

    Preparation

    Whether it's a small get-together or a large bash, its success is in the planning. How much input should your teen have on their graduation party? A simple way to figure that out would be to ask your teen. Some want to help, and control the direction of their party. Some graduates don't want to be bothered with all of the decisions and details. Your teen will let you know.

    Budget and Coordination

    This can be harder than you think and should coordinate so that most people you invite can attend. Write down a few options or ideas and start calling those you would like to see come. Narrow down your choices until you have a date that suits the majority of guests. Begin by deciding how much you can spend and then comparison shop for things you would like to have or do. Don’t forget to check Party Glitters in New York City for best deals on graduation party supplies and decorations.

    Location and Guests

    If you are going to use a hall, park or restaurant, you’ll need to begin planning this while you're picking a date. If you are going to use your home, jot down things you will need to rent like a tent or coffee machine. The size of your event will help with this. Your graduate will need to sit down with you and make a list of friends.

    Theme

    While the overall theme will be the graduation, you’ll need more than that to pull your party together. A theme for the party can be as simple as the school colors or as detailed as the graduate's college major. Choosing a theme will help you purchase supplies and decide on menus. Visit Party Glitters locations in Suffolk for the latest suggestions on graduation party supplies, decorations and balloons.

    Many people prefer a certain type of favor. Whether its candles, Communion cookies, soaps, edible favors or favors for personalizing, there are many choices to be found. Rosary beads, either large or small, are also very popular gifts for guests at a Communion party.

    If a unique Communion favor is what you are looking for, favors imported from Spain or Italy fit the bill. They will be something out of the ordinary that your guests will really notice and remember. Imported chocolate puzzles are also elegant and unique Holy Communion favors. Rose-scented rosaries will make a big hit at your Communion party also when you present them to every guests.

Simply use green construction paper or cardstock. It can either be a plain rectangle shape, or turn it into a shamrock shape. Write the party details on each card and perhaps glue on 3D leprechauns or shamrocks. Place into green envelopes and add some green confetti inside to drift out when opened. Green and gold glue glitter is a fun addition to homemade invitations.

    • Painting St. Paddy’s T-Shirts. Another simple yet fun St. Patrick's Day party activity. Have t-shirts in all sizes ready, a painting area set up, and some shamrock, leprechaun or Irish flag stencils for ready use. And don't forget to get fabric paints!
