Planning a High School Graduation Party
High school is over and it is time to celebrate! It is time to celebrate the achievement of completing high school and becoming an adult! Teenagers everywhere look forward to a good graduation party where they can celebrate their freedom from 6am wake up calls and days full of teachers and books. This is the time before they realize how difficult college and the “real world” can be. So it is up to us as parents to give our children at least one more wonderful day of fun!
Where to begin? Your graduation party should really consist of two different parties. One party should be held for family and other adults. A party for your teen’s friends should be at a separate time. No teenager wants a mixed party with his grandparents and best friends where he feels he needs to be on his best behavior when all he wants to do is let loose!
The first thing to consider when planning a graduation party is where it will be held. Is your house equipped to hold a lot of people? Do you have a pool or other entertainment for teenagers? Is a rented venue a better option? Do you want to cook or have it catered? Will you hire a DJ? This is a matter of choosing between cost and convenience!
Consider what your graduate will want for his or her party. Ask your graduate! This is a party in his honor and so he should have what he wants within limits of course. Ask him for a list of names and addresses of friends to invite and even special foods and drinks he may want. If there is a particular local band or DJ that he wants then try to hire them if money permits. If not, kids have enough stereo equipment and music to keep the music going themselves!
So tell us all about your graduate? What makes him or her so special? What are you planning for the graduation party? Where will you hold the graduation party? Are you planning anything extra special for your graduate? Are you excited for this milestone or a little sad? We want to hear all about it!

My daughter will be graduating in June of 08, and heading off to college with her brand new car, but I’m not letting her get away without a party. Yes, I have a child that just wants the car and not the party, but I am still giving her one. I want to celebrate with my family and friends for the fact that my husband and I got her to college. It’s our milestone too. The party will be just family and friends in our backyard, but I want it to be somewhat special, the decorations and the cake, a memory to have forever, for us and for her. I think she will appreciate it once it happens. We will see.

My Son Graduated in June and we suprised him with his friends from the past. We bought candy bars for Announce It and used pictures of him from first grade on up, and it was no extra charge for the graphics. The candy bars and other favors purchased we a hit and Lori was a super help in keeping us with in our budget that we had to work with. Our theme was Blasts from the Past. Will be back again for future purchases. Thank You for everything!!

Food for Your Vegetarian Baby
The earliest food for any baby, including a vegetarian baby, is breast milk. It promotes your baby’s immune system, reduces the risk of allergies and offers protection against infection.
