Pro Tips for Your Graduation Party

1

Graduation parties often span 4+ hours — plan for grazing, not a sit-down meal.

2

Young adults eat more than you think — add 20% to your calculations for ages 18-25.

3

Set up a separate kids' food station with pizza and sliders to keep parents happy.

4

Outdoor graduation parties need food that won't spoil in summer heat.

5

Photo ops happen constantly — finger foods beat anything requiring utensils.

6

Set up a visible '21+ only' bar area and a killer mocktail station so younger guests feel included.

7

Keep champagne cold but corked until group photo time — pop bottles for the shot!
