A+ Graduation Party Back to Events
The grades are in, and the wide-eyed child you sent skipping to kindergarten only a few short years ago is about to make another leap: graduation. Celebrate your graduate's big accomplishment with an A+ party.
Try to pick a party date that doesn't compete with the graduation ceremony or celebrations hosted by the grad's close friends. Consider holding the party the weekend before or after graduation.
Spice up a traditional party by picking a graduation theme that fits the celebrant and check out our ideas for Gifts for Grads.
To help friends and family stay in touch with the grad, send guests home with new contact information. Print it on card stock cut to business-card size, or place it in a luggage tag to symbolize the grad's new life journey.
Menu Made Easy
Here's where we've figured out courses and servings for the party. Scroll down to see the
Publix selections we suggest, then add appropriate sizes and/or quantities to your
Planning List based on the estimated servings per course (see chart). If you're interested
in other options, you may click View All to see everything else available by course.
