It’s Graduation Season! What would be a better way to celebrate the special graduate and all their achievements than by throwing them the ultimate outdoor graduation celebration under one of our event tents! Here are some tips to help you plan this special occasion:
PLAN THE MENU
No party is complete without a killer menu to feed your guests. You are celebrating your child, so when you are planning the menu remember to include their favorite snacks and dishes. Chips and guacamole, fruits, veggies and pasta salads are usually a hit and are easy to prepare. As most graduation celebrations take place in warmer weather, cool and refreshing food and drinks are your best bet. Don’t forget the dessert! Instead of having a single cake, consider having a selection of cupcakes. Cookies and pastries are always a hit as well.
SET THE STAGE
While food is a mainstay of any party, setting the space plays an equally important part of your guest’s comfort and fun.
The biggest part of any celebration is the seating and shelter. Elite Tents and Events offers a full range of tents that will accommodate any size you may need. Our staff will come to your location to help you select the style of your rental tent – Marquee or Frame – and provide suggestions for seating, tables, chairs, stage for the DJ. We can also provide fans to keep the tent rental cool if the weather is hot.
ROLL OUT THE DÉCOR
Elite Tents and Events not only offers Marquee and Frame tents for your celebrations, we also have the décor you will need to dress your event tent up. We offer several styles of chairs, lighting – string or chandelier and tent draping.
Dressing your event tent up with Congratulation banners, displaying pictures of your child’s graduation and achievements throughout their schooling and anything else that showcases their academic achievements sets the mood for a wonderful celebration.
CURATE A PLAYLIST
Of course, no outdoor party is complete without a rocking playlist to elevate the energy and keep guests entertained. And just like everything else in this guide, you want to ensure that you center your playlist around tunes that your child would appreciate. For instance, if they love hip hop, make sure the songs that you choose indicate that, or have your child and their friends do up their own playlist!
