Find graduation party venues near me

A graduation is definitely worth celebrating, and you can show your grad just how proud of them you are by throwing a graduation party that's out of this world. When hosting a graduation party, start with the venue. Some choose to host a grad party at home but renting a seriously cool graduation party venue really wows your guests. Graduation parties usually take place in May, June, and July, so send out invitations early—those summer weekends are usually in high demand, especially for families. Draw up a guest list of close family and friends, and decide on what refreshments you'll serve. Beyond that, it's up to your own creativity.

We recommend sending out graduation party invitations 3-4 weeks in advance. If you send out your party invitations too early, they'll get lost in the shuffle over time. If you send them out too late, your guests are more likely to have scheduling conflicts. Graduation parties are usually held in May, June, and July, and many people will have vacations and other events lined up throughout the summer.
