Just like 18 year-old appetites, grad parties can be unpredictable. You’ll be happy you reserved enough seats to accommodate any unexpected guests. And while you’re at it, check out our three-tier menu options. We can customize your order, so you’ll have enough food, hot and fresh, to feed a fluctuating guest list.
Grad parties can be tricky to coordinate. Friends love it when you ask them to share some of the dirty work. Whether you need help with the dishes or wrangling guests for fun activities, a can-do comrade is just the ticket to keeping the party rolling smoothly.
PROTIP: If you put a volunteer in charge of the kitchen, they can make sure the food table is always stocked and the dishes are washed along the way. (You can always pay them back on their birthday.)
Your neighborhood is about to blow up with guests and their cars. Give your neighbors a heads-up, so they can plan around the date and time of your graduation party. This is when a little extra Donatelli’s comes in handy—when you thank your patient neighbors with the delicious gift of food.
Send your invites four weeks in advance — and let guests know you’ll be serving Donatelli’s. A the saying goes, if you build it, they will come. And if you’re serving Donatelli’s, the crowds will show, even if you’re up against six other grad parties.
Have fun capturing those silly party moments by creating a photo booth. All you need is a neutral backdrop (or some fun, patterned sheets) and let the good times roll.
Here’s an idea, get creative by showing off the excitement happening in your yard with a sign calling out the graduate’s name and year. Or kick it up a notch with wacky mustaches, hats and accessories.
When you say cheese on social media, remember to add hashtag #donatellisgrads and tag us at @donatellisrestaurant. We will see your post, and you may win a special prize!
Sharing your High School photo next to your graduate’s is a great way to poke a little fun at yourself and give your guests a chance to share in the chuckle (especially when they get to see your smooth outfit from 1976).
