Background Music

Ask the grad to put together a playlist of his or her favorite songs from the past few years. They’ll love creating a soundtrack of their time in school, and the music will add both energy and personality to the party.


Rent a Food Truck

Free up your time to enjoy the festivities by letting professionals care of the food. Hire a food truck or two to serve the guests and minimize clean-up. Although it may take a little extra effort, a graduation dessert bar filled with bite-size treats is sure to impress attendees as well.
