The Grad deserves a real PARTY, not just a cake on the counter
Open house style graduation parties are their own kind of event. Guests trickle in over hours instead of showing up all at once. Grandparents want somewhere to sit and stay a while. Friends want to grab food and keep moving. Neighbors pop by for twenty minutes. We help you set up a space that actually works for ALL of it, not just the first wave of guests.
A few things I've learned from setting up grad parties that will actually help you:
- Open house guests come in waves across the whole afternoon, not all at once, so you'll have more people needing a seat at a given moment than few the next. It's not just about the headcount.
- Mix your tables. Round tables for the relatives who want to sit and visit, a rectangle table for the food spread, and a cocktail table or two near the drinks so people always have somewhere to set a cup down.
- Floor length linens on the food table specifically. It's the one table every single guest walks past and touches, so it's worth making beautiful even if nothing else is dressed up. PLUS an extra place to hide things
- And if you've got a mixed crowd of little cousins and grandparents, a couple of kids chairs keeps little ones out from underfoot while the adults catch up.
Questions we get all the time about graduation parties
What's a graduation open house and how is it different from a backyard bash? Open house style means guests come and go over several hours instead of arriving all at once. Because of that, you'll usually want a mix of seated tables for people who stay a while and cocktail tables that keep the flow moving. We'll help you figure out the right quantities based on your guest count.
What size crowd do you usually see for grad parties? Most run between 40 and 100 guests once you count extended family, neighbors, and friends.
Do you have both casual and more formal options? Yes! Garden chairs for a backyard cookout feel, or chiavari chairs and floor length linensif you want something a bit more elevated. Text us your vibe and we'll guide you from there.
Do you offer delivery and setup? Yes! Delivery and setup are available add-ons you can select right at checkout. We show up, set everything up, and come back after to break it down and take it away.
What if my guest count changes closer to the date? No problem at all! We ask for final changes at least 14 days before your event. You can reduce quantities by up to 10% and add items based on availability. We'll confirm everything in writing so there are zero surprises.
