Time to Celebrate - How to Plan the Perfect Graduation Party for Your Child

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

Today, most families plan a graduation party to celebrate the graduate’s accomplishment as well as to welcome a bright future for him. Surveys show that a graduation party is one item on the parent’s list of graduation expenses that will cost a lot. Survey shows however, that families of graduates feel the need of a celebration because this comes only once in their child’s life – graduation is an accomplishment worth the cost of celebrating.

If you did not save for or was not able to set aside funds for a graduation party, this is not a problem – a payday loan can definitely help you out with this. No credit or bad credit history? Not a problem either. Payday loans are short term loans that you can obtain easily, quickly and without a credit check (see here EZOnline Cash Advance) You can borrow as much as $1,500 from your payday loan provider today and pay that amount plus a fixed interest of $8-$10 per $100 soon as you get your next salary.

There are many payday loan providers in the internet which you can obtain a loan online. Do your research; shop around first and compare to find the one that best suits your needs.

Now that you know where to get the funds for your child’s graduation party, first, you need to discuss with your graduating child what she or he would want for her graduation day. Keep in mind, the graduation party is primarily to honor the graduate, so your child’s input is very important.

Budget

This is the most important step in planning a graduation party. Know how much you can afford to spend on your child’s graduation and everything else can be planned based on that budget. Some parents opt to host a graduation party with other parents to help lessen the costs.

The Date

Your child’s graduation party does not have to be right after the graduation ceremony. You can have it a week before or a day after the graduation ceremony. The thing to keep in mind here is that many parents will be hosting a graduation party the week before and the week after the graduation ceremony. So before selecting a date, ask other parents first so that you will not be competing with them.

Choose the location

The theme of your graduation party will point where you need to place the graduation party. Keep in mind though, if you plan on having the graduation party out doors, provide shelter or tents for your guests should rain comes pouring in. Remember too, if you need to rent tents book at least 2 weeks ahead to make sure that you have enough for your graduation party.

Invitations

Mail them early, at least a month before and make sure your invitations are in accordance with your graduation party theme.

Select a theme

Select a graduation party theme that best reflects the graduate’s likes and personality. He’s a sport fan? A ball game graduation theme party would be fun…..guys can come in their jerseys, girls can come in their cheer leader attire, the place surrounded by nachos, hotdog and popcorn stalls. Search the internet for theme party ideas and suggestions. Cater

Some say that it is expensive to cater…true, but if you can afford it, its all worth your money. Caterers set everything up for you including the tent, tables and chairs, table centerpieces, buffet table, provide the plates and glasses, etc. and take down everything down as well as package all the leftovers. If you do your research well you can find a caterer that can suit your budget.

Keep in mind, for that perfect graduation party, the key is to plan carefully ahead so that you know how much you are going to borrow from your payday loan provider.
