Planning a High School Graduation Party in Perrysburg

Congratulations to all the high school graduates who live in Perrysburg! (Congratulations to all the college grads as well!)

 

As I plan my son, Kraig’s, high school graduation party, I have been reflecting on my grad party (Eastwood 1996), my husband’s grad party (Eastwood 1993), and our other son, Derrick’s, grad party (Perrysburg 2023). In this episode, I share my thoughts about Kraig’s party and give advice for your high school graduate’s party too. Topics covered:

 

1. Where should we have the party?
2. When should we have the party?
3. Who should we invite to the party?
4. What should we eat?
5. How are we going to get the word out and remind people?
6. Why are we celebrating with a graduation party?
7. Budget and expectations
8. Decorations
9. Photos and videos
10. Misc topics: backyard games, photo booth, food trucks, advice cards, a box for cards, and parking space.
