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 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.

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.

If you want something a little classier than the ordinary Jordan almonds, consider fine imported sugared almonds in pink, white, blue, or pastel. Even honey jars with your childs name and Communion date on a personalized label will be something quite different.

Another thing to remember is how you will seat your guests. A plain place card will do, but there are also bells with a hanging cross that serves as a party favor but also as a way to display the seating arrangements for your guests.

With St. Patrick's Day fast approaching, this is the great time to plan your New York 2016 celebration! With these St. Patrick's day party planning ideas your party will be a hit. 

Invitations. Depending on whether you're throwing your party as a spur-of-the-moment occasion or as a longer-term planned event. For the spur-of-the moment event, send out email invitations to everyone, and try to include something green, shamrock or leprechaun design. For postal invitations, design something on the computer using  clip art and print it out either on green paper or relying on the green designs to create the sense of green. Alternatively, make cards without the printer. 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.

Party Activities. St. Patrick's Day celebration deserve some games or activities to heighten the fun. Here are a few ideas:

• The Ladder Lingo Game: Here is how to play. Begin with St. Patrick’s Day themed words, and ask the person sitting next to you to think of another themed word beginning with the last letter of your word. For the word “Celtic,” the next word could be “Clover.” The game keeps going until no one can think of another themed word.
• 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!
