Summer is the season for graduates! Whether you’re celebrating a high school diploma or a Ph.D., your grad deserves a party that’s as spectacular as they are. Before you finish planning the event, consider our tips to make your summer graduation party the most memorable on the block.

• Provide adequate shade. During the months of June, July, and August, temperatures begin to rise, forcing everyone out of the direct sunlight. When you’re throwing a large party, encourage your guests to spend time cooling off under a tent. A tent rental for your Doylestown home can help your guests cool off without them missing all the fun happening outdoors!

• Protect your food. One of the most important parts of any summer graduation party is the food. Unfortunately, summer insects will also try and crash the buffet table. Protect your food by lighting citronella candles and by setting up bug zappers, even during the day time. Keeping your food covered is also essential to preventing unexpected guests, so looking into tent rental for your Lansdale home and a surplus of plastic wrap is worth the effort if your food is not being kept indoors.

• Display the photos. You’ve probably shared pictures from your graduate’s ceremony all over social media, but for older and less tech-savvy family members, the graduation party is probably the only place they’ll get to see them. Set up a dedicated table for displaying senior pictures or photos from the commencement, and leave a sign-in booklet for friends and family members to wish them success or write a message of congratulations. Your grad will love reading all the positive messages!

• Plan ahead. Planning any kind of party is a big undertaking, so make sure to plan ahead for every person attending. Requesting an RSVP from all guests can help you to make sure that you don’t run out of food, drinks, or fun for anyone!
