Graduation Party Ideas

• The graduation gown will have wrinkles from the packaging.

• To get the wrinkles out of the graduation gown, you can hang it in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes.

• If that doesn't work, you can iron it VERY CAREFULLY! Do not burn a hole through it! Place a towel over the gown and iron on low heat. Hang it up immediately.

• Do this early so you are not stressed around graduation time.

• The tassel hangs on the right side of the cap before graduation.

• Wear appropriate clothing under the graduation gown. Your high school may have specific instructions on what to wear, so check with them. Graduation attire is usually:

• Boys wear nice slacks, shirt, tie and nice shoes.

• Girls wear a dress and nice shoes, but don't wear too high of heels or you won't be able to walk.

• Leave EARLY for the graduation ceremony so you can get a good seat and good parking. If your high school is big, get there at least 1 to 1 1/2 hours before the graduation ceremony starts to get a good seat.

• Try to save seats for family members that are running late.

• You can bring flowers for your graduate to give after the ceremony.

• Take lots of pictures of your graduate in their graduation gown during the graduation ceremony and also after the ceremony with family and friends.
