Some of our Great Tips are here below

Plan it in time

On the day of the Graduation Party, things tend to move really fast so if you’re planning on having a caterer to organise the food for you then, make sure you give the caterer plenty of notice don’t be leaving it to the last minute, as both yourself and the caterer will be at ease knowing that the caterer can full fill you requirements and most importantly can provide the services on the day you wish to carry out the graduation party.

Help from friends and family

It’s a gathering for family and friends so why not get them to lend a hand. Those being involved adds to the buzz of the day. Also you could ask them to bring some food along to the party as were sure they wouldn’t mind at all in doing this, if anything they will be happy you want their food, with it tasting so good, and also they may offer a helping hand on the day of the graduation party, and again this is less for yourself to worry about.

Plan your menu

If you use a caterer for your party, consider your choices carefully and fix your budget. At QuickBuffet, we have a tool that can help with fixing your budget and letting caterers bid on your catering lead so you get the best offer for your budget. It may all be down to the situation like hot buffets will be a good choice for winter time, while if you like something exotic, BBQs for summer, a themed buffet may be a better choice.  When using a caterer, the sky is the limit to put it simply. From mini-baked potatoes with a range of fillings, to hot or fork buffets there is a wide choice. Chilli con carne, homemade pies, curries and Lasagnes are some of the main stream hot dishes most caterers will be comfortable preparing even at short notice.

So in short….

• Plan ahead is the rule like in all things as you might know already. Make sure if you’re going to use a caterer to provide the food then make sure you book way in advance. The more time you give the caterer then the better as they may come up with alternative menus ideas to contribute towards the big day. .At the time of the graduation party, the event springs into life and there is always enough going on to keep you busy.
• Keep organised and why not add a little something to in lighten the day such as a candy buffet or a bouncy castle (even big kids like these), never too old for candy and fun. This is bound to impress your friends and family and most surely the graduate in question.
• As part of you menu planning, consider tastes, flavour combinations whilst still keeping it simple as often guests will like a bit of everything.

The choice of menu is important as it might well determine how involved you will be with your guests. Hiring staff for example from your caterer whilst keeping ahead with your planning ensures you have enough time to interact with your guests if you plan everything out in advance.
