Pro Tips for Your Graduation Party
Graduation parties often span 4+ hours — plan for grazing, not a sit-down meal.
Young adults eat more than you think — add 20% to your calculations for ages 18-25.
Set up a separate kids' food station with pizza and sliders to keep parents happy.
Outdoor graduation parties need food that won't spoil in summer heat.
Photo ops happen constantly — finger foods beat anything requiring utensils.
Set up a visible '21+ only' bar area and a killer mocktail station so younger guests feel included.
Keep champagne cold but corked until group photo time — pop bottles for the shot!
