Have a 50’s Themed Graduation Party This Year Congratulations, your son or daughter has finished high school! Now you want to throw them a graduation party to celebrate the occasion. Having a 50’s themed graduation party can be great fun, especially for teenagers.

The first step is to decide on a date and time. Sometimes this can be the hardest step as the end of the school year is often quite busy. If you have guests coming from out of town for the graduation, consider having your party the night or day after graduation while everyone is still around.

The next step is to figure out your budget. If you are trying to keep costs down, you may want to combine your party with some of your friends to share costs. You have many options when it comes to selecting the place for the party: your backyard, a park, a restaurant, hotel or the beach could all work.

Now it’s time to make your guest list. Remember to include school friends, teachers, and family members. Prepare your invitations to include all the basic information in writing. If you are having a 50’s themed party, it’s a good idea to encourage them to wear 50’s clothing to the party by putting that on the invitation.

Plan the food you will be serving to reflect the theme of your party. You can assign others to help you prepare the food, or even hire a caterer if you have the money. Last, but not least, don’t forget the decorations, selected to match your 50’s theme of course.
