Graduation—whether from high school or college—is a monumental event in a person’s life. It represents all of the schooling accomplishments you’ve made it through over the last several years and deserves to be celebrated!
Setting up your graduation party is no easy task, however: consider it your final (FINAL) exam and exit passage from school. Coordinating invitations, RSVPs, accommodations and party rentals is almost a full time job in and of itself, and it takes a tremendous amount of effort to make sure everything lines up accordingly. Suffice to say, with all of the excitement you’ll be experiencing when you finally get your diploma, planning your graduation party isn’t going to be something you’re going to have time to focus on completely!

What you need
Event planning in Minnesota revolves around process: having a process in place to get everything accomplished will facilitate a smoother transition from step to step in planning your party. Take a look at a basic approach to party planning that revolves around process:
- Pick a time, date and venue for your party. Make sure this is going to be a place or time that’s accommodating to the guests you plan on inviting and make sure you’re planning several weeks in advance.
- Make a list of invitees—both family and friends—and have invitations made up and sent out at least two weeks in advance of your intended party day, with an RSVP date as soon as possible.
- Collect RSVPs before the deadline and follow up with anyone you haven’t heard from to determine how many people will be coming to your party. Once you have a solid number, it’s time to start planning for accommodations!
- Based on the number of people coming to your event, order tables and chairs enough to seat them all. It’s also a good idea to plan for extra, since there’s no telling how many extra people will be brought with your RSVP attendees.
- Consider catering and food accommodations for the people coming. It’s a good idea to stick with universally enjoyed favorites, such as fruits, veggies, burgers, BBQ, chicken and more. Don’t forget dessert either—a graduation cake is always popular!
The above might seem like a simple list, but the legwork and effort involved can be overwhelming! This is why having an event party planner on your side is going to be so critical.
When you choose Lefty’s Tent & Party Rental, you’re getting so much more than just party planning in Minnesota—you’re also getting a direct line to any rentals you might need, giving you the peace of mind that comes with inclusive party planning!
