Graduation Party Do’s and Don’ts

The world is full of unspoken expectations and unwritten rules. One of the best ways to fast-track yourself to success is by spotting these seemingly invisible guidelines. However, by the time you begin your career, you should already have some sense of how to operate under the confines of customs, gestures, and etiquette.

With this in mind, let’s briefly go over some basic do’s and don’ts of planning a graduation party:

Implement safety measures

In a world still getting rocked by the COVID-19 pandemic, the first order of business should be making the necessary preparations for ensuring the health and safety of all guests. Consider using outdoor event space as a way to safely celebrate your graduation and all the hard work they did to reach that milestone. Other ways to protect the health and safety of guests include temperature screening tents, physical distancing, and opting for individually packaged foods and beverages.

Don’t wait until the last minute

It’s always a good idea to mail out event invitations as soon as possible. While a month before the party is considered acceptable, six weeks to three months is ideal. The last thing you want to do is wait until the last minute to let everyone know there’s a graduation party in the works. That’s a great way to ensure only a handful of people actually show up.
