Tips for Grad Party Planning

It's that time of year... high school and college graduations are right around the corner! If you're planning to celebrate your grad, it's time to start getting a game plan together. From food to invitations to a location, there are a few things to decide upon. Our Colorado Springs event center is the perfect place for your next celebration! Whether it's a wedding, family reunion, or even a graduation party - The Historic Pinecrest is the place for your next event.


Location

The first step in party planning for your upcoming graduation is to find the perfect location to honor your grad. Here at The Historic Pinecrest, we have a large event center, in addition to a smaller lodge. It's important to choose the right venue for your group size, and we've got plenty of options.

Invites

Once you get the location reserved and the date and time lined out, it's time to invite your attendees. If you're planning the party for someone else, ask them who they want there to help them celebrate. This is an easy way to ensure the people the grad whats to be there, are invited.

Decorations

Now comes the fun part - decorating for your grad's party! From festive plates and table cloths to banners and balloons, there are a number of routes you can choose for the big day. For inspiration check out Pinterest for your party decor. Remember, the day is about the graduate - don't stress about "perfect" decorations!

Menu

Ask the graduate what they would like to see on the menu for their party. Try to incorporate some of their favorite foods into your spread. Snack sandwiches, a veggie and fruit tray, as well as tasty treats make for easy to grab and snack on foods. BBQ is another menu option that seems to go over well! It really depends how much work you are wanting to put into the food portion of the party. You can always outsource the catering service to a professional, to save time and reduce stress.

Activities

Don't be overwhelmed by this step, there are no regulations that dictate which activities are best for your graduation party. If you have an active group, consider bean bag toss or giant Jenga OR board games or cards, if you want to keep the party inside. If you don't feel like planning out activities, put some music on and allow your guests to mingle and chat with the new graduate, after all - that's why they came!
