Throwing a graduation party is often an honor for a proud parent as well as one of the most memorable life moments for the graduate. As parents you will want to give your graduate a party he will always remember. Use this guide to throw a great graduation party.
- Talk to your graduate before the party to find out who he wants on the guest list and to communicate limits, on your part and his. He won't want to be treated like a child, but at the same time, you will be throwing the party, which may very well be in your home.
- Make a guest list allowing for a few party crashers and send out invitations. By mailing the invitations, you can get the names and addresses of most of the people who will be at the party. You can look up phone numbers from the names and addresses, just in case you need them.
- You have several cool choices for invitations. The invitation can be diploma scrolls tied in ribbon matching the school colors, paper graduation caps, or photographs of your school with the party information on the back.

Each member can make up who or what he is going to act out. You can also plan a cool activity like having them make a time capsule and putting the valedictorian or someone reliable in charge of it for the school reunion years later.
