Last Minute Graduation Party Planning Tips!

You thought you had months, and next thing you know, your baby is graduating, and you have to plan the party ASAP. Never fear, because Historic Pinecrest is here! At Historic Pinecrest, we can help you host wonderful events, from weddings to graduations, and our Colorado Springs event center is perfect for any number of guests. With a few easy steps and tips, you can put together a wonderful celebration that will look like it took months, and you can celebrate your child's big accomplishments.

Plan Your Menu

If you're in a crunch, save yourself some time and outsource the food for your event, and outsource as much as possible. From the appetizers to the cake, find some wonderful vendors in the area and find out if they will have time to put something together before your event. Sometimes, we feel pressured to throw an event that is "Pinterest worthy," but really, the whole event is about celebrating the new stage of life that your child is entering, and no one will notice if you didn't slave over the custom graduation cap appetizers.

Choose an Event Venue

If you are wanting to save yourself some added stress, you can find a venue to host your event so that you won't have to get your home "company clean." At Historic Pinecrest, we have a large event center, as well as a smaller lodge where you can gather with close friends and family to celebrate this great time of your child's life. If you wait too long, you may have to be flexible on the date and time of your event, but your best bet will be choosing an evening in the middle of the week. Fewer events are scheduled at this time, so you won't have as much competition.

Get Party Decorations

This step doesn't have to be intimidating. Choose one large statement piece, and then fill in with items of interest. You can use a large photo of your child, you can use a map with a pin in the place where they'll be attending college or even a large collage of photos of them throughout the year. You can fill in with easy pieces that you can pick up at your local party planning store, like tassels, caps, 2016 paraphernalia, and even awards and photos from your child's high school career.

Grab Some Fun Games

Every party needs some fun entertainment! If you have any of your child's favorite board or card games you can spread those around the area so that people can sit down and enjoy themselves. If it's going to be a beautiful day, you can put some fun outdoor games on our porch, or around the grass. Think of games like the bean bag toss game, giant Jenga, or even Twister!

Take the Stress Away with the Best Event Venue in Colorado Springs

At Historic Pinecrest, we realize how busy life can get, and before you know it you need you throw a fun graduation bash. Our Colorado Springs venue is perfect for any size gathering, and we look forward to helping you and your family gather together over such a fun celebration! Give us a call at 719-357-8613 today to learn what dates you can schedule your Colorado Springs graduation party.

Important Questions to Ask Your Wedding Photographer

Your wedding photographs are such a valuable part of your wedding day, and you will be looking back at them for years to come. It's important to know the style that you like because that will help you know which photographer's that will be a perfect match for you! When you are looking for a photographer to capture your beautiful Colorado Springs wedding, there are a few questions that your photographer would LOVE for you to ask.

What Are You Worth The Amount You Charge?

Every photographer has set up a specific amount that they feel they are worth, for their time, experience and education. It's important to know exactly why they charge that amount, so you can appreciate why they charge what they do. Plus, your photographer will love to share more about what got them into photography and their passion for it!

Which Light Do You Shoot With?

It's important to know which type of lighting your photographer shoots with because natural or artificial light can make a difference in your photos. Not only can it affect the quality of your photos, but it can also determine how well your photos will turn out if you are having a wedding that has tricky lighting. Be sure to let your photographer know where your getting married, and what types of lighting are there so they can prepare accordingly.

How Do You Back Up Your Files?

It would be heartbreaking to find out that something had happened and all of your photos had been lost due to an unpreventable accident. Ask your photographer how they back up their files, and if they back up them in several different places. This may not seem important now, but it would be important to you later if it were too late and your photos were lost.

What will I Get in My Photo Package?

Ask your photographer what exactly comes in your wedding photo package. How many hours will they spend with you on your wedding day, how many photos do they offer, and if they will provide a high definition DVD of your photos are just a few of the details you'll want to know about.

How Do You Help Us To Feel Relaxed?

The personality of your photographer will greatly influence the quality of your photos in the end. If they have a fun personality, and can easily make you laugh, it will make it easier to create fun, cheerful or energetic photos of your special day. Does your photographer have special techniques to make you and your spouse feel more comfortable? These are good to know in advance!

What Happens If you Get Sick On Our Day?

This is probably not very common, but unfortunately, sometimes everything can't be planned. Ask your photographer if they have a backup plan in case they get sick. Will they use a second shooter? Will they hire someone else to come in? This will help you know what to expect should this come about on your big day.

What Would You Like For Dinner?

Finally, don't forget about your vendors when it comes to the meal. Make sure they know that they are welcome to grab a bit to eat through the night, and if you need to know what they prefer, don't forget to ask.
