Individual Graduation Party Guide

I graduated, now what? Check out this post for tips on how to celebrate the unique moment that is graduation in a special way!

We know that graduation is a moment in a person’s life like no other. Even if you take other colleges and courses, each moment of completion is unique, as it represents one cycle closing for another to open! And of course, you can’t miss a celebration party, with family and friends!

What is a solo graduation party?

An individual graduation party is nothing more than a celebration in which the graduate invites their best friends and family to celebrate winning their diploma. This party can be held on three occasions:

The class chose not to celebrate graduation with a collective party, only through the graduation ceremony;
Despite participating in the ball, the graduate wants to have a simpler and more intimate celebration with family and close friends.
A dance with the whole gang isn’t in your budget.

Ask the people closest to you for help, like your parents and best friends, and have a beautiful party!

How to organize an individual graduation party?

Like any event, organizing an individual graduation party takes work, however, the effort can be less if you have excellent planning and confidence in your ideas. Write down the tips:

Guest list: Carefully choose the people you want to be celebrating this special day. As it is a more intimate party, the number should be smaller;
Local: Ideally, individual graduation parties should be held at the graduate’s home or at the home of a family member/friend that accommodates all the guests;
Date and time: If you’re booking in December and January, opt for weekdays, considering that these are months full of proms on the weekend. The time will depend on the type of food served, a barbecue, for example, requires a more daytime schedule;
Invitations: defined place, date and time, make an invitation. It can be from a company and you can deliver it in person, or if you and your guests are more casual, an online invitation is enough. The tip is to always send it in advance and ask for confirmation.
Decoration: The decoration is up to the trainee’s taste — many opt for simpler items and colors, others take the opportunity to hold a course-themed party. For nursing, for example, it is possible to include stethoscopes and plastic syringes in the decoration. Oh! And don’t forget to reserve a corner Instagrammable for your guests!
Menu: There are several options, from barbecue, dinner, snacks and others — this choice will be made according to the trainee’s style.
Photography: Even if it is a simple event, the individual graduation party also deserves your memories. Hire a photographer you trust to capture moments with your friends and family or ask a skilled acquaintance to take the photos.
Music: as it is an individual party, the graduate will be able to choose their most listened to songs, create a collaborative playlist with their guests and rock the dance floor!
