You may want to celebrate one of many graduation milestones in a child's life.
  Possibly their first graduation as they graduate out of pre-school and prepare for their first years of elementary school  Or maybe they are saying their last goodbyes to the one hour of daily recess  as they graduate from elementary school.
  Maybe they are finally leaving the awkward teenage years behind and graduating from high school or possibly beginning their next phase of life as they graduate from college.
  Whichever period of life they are passing through, they are worthy of a graduation party that celebrates their commitment and accomplishment.
  Graduation party planning is very similar to regular party planning.
  For a graduation party, you should put a lot of thought to the guest list.
  If the is younger it is relatively easy to know who to invite.
  This aspect gets more challenging as the child gets older.
  It could be beneficial to include the graduate in this part of the graduation party planning.
  However if you're thinking about throwing a surprise graduation party, putting together the guest list can get a bit more challenging.
  You'll want to get some extra help with the guest list.
  You certainly don't want to leave anyone out.
  If you are part of their family, you could solicit the help of a school friend to get you names of guests that your graduate would want to include.
  Not only can they help you with names of who to invite, but also who to avoid.
  If the graduate is married, you could use the help of someone in their spouse's family to help you complete your invitation list.
  You may want to investigate whether the guest of honor is involved in clubs or has close neighbors as these are other sources of invitees.
  After compiling all your names, you are ready to finally send the graduation party invitations..
Your invitation should prominently communicate that it's a surprise graduation party.
  You don't want anyone to overlook that important point.
  Most surprise parties get spoiled because someone slips.
  You don't want anyone to give your graduate a hint that there's something cooking.
The only thing difficult about decorating for a graduation party is choosing from the vast majority of themes out there.
  There are so many types of party supplies available these days that you will have an easy time locating decorations specific to your graduation theme.
  You could also choose to decorate using the school colors.
  Do be sure to include the year in any graduation decorations that you use.
  You could also investigate having a cake done in the shape of the graduating year.
  Would you rather have a more unique theme?  Then in your graduation party planning, skip the traditional graduation decorations, and throw your graduate a luau, a masquerade ball, or even a flash back party.
  Wouldn't it be fun to celebrate their accomplishment with a celebration that flashes back into a specific year?   Your grad has worked very hard to reach this milestone.
    You want to commemorate this with an event that celebrates no more teachers, no more books, and no more tests.
  Your graduation party should put the stress behind them and kick-off the next chapter of their life with a fun, unforgettable gala.
