Who this graduation party planner is for

This planner is for parents and graduates planning a celebration for high school, college, graduate school or kindergarten graduation. It suits backyard open houses, restaurant dinners and joint parties with friends. A photo board of the graduate's journey and an advice station for the future make the party personal and memorable. It also helps families hosting during busy graduation season, when guests may visit several parties on the same weekend. Clear timings and an easy menu keep the day relaxed.

How to use your graduation party planner

Fill in the overview and budget. Follow the checklist. Build the guest list. Book vendors and plan the timeline. Make a shopping list. Plan the photo board, collect advice for the graduate and send thanks. Choose a date early and check it doesn't clash with friends' parties. Gather photos from every school year for the board, set out advice cards and a pen, and record gifts so the graduate can send thank-you notes quickly.
