MERRICK, NY–( EMWNews – April 1, 2008) – Graduation, whether it is from high school or

college, is quite an accomplishment, and it warrants celebration. However,

many people make the mistake of not planning their graduation parties far

enough in advance. Graduation party invitation experts, Custom Creations by Leslie,

have the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions regarding

the timing of your graduation party.

“Picking a date for your graduation party first is crucial,” said Leslie

Ciriaco of Custom Creations by Leslie. “Check your personal calendar as

well as the school calendar for major end-of-the-year school functions that

might coincide. As soon as you know the date, send graduation invitations

to out-of-town family and friends so they can plan a trip.”

Graduation announcements to in-town family and

friends can wait until 6-8 weeks before the party, but the rest of your

planning can’t. Be sure to book caterers, banquet halls, DJs, etc. as soon

as possible to guarantee the best party possible. Other things to consider

when planning the date of your graduation party include:

--  Graduation parties before graduation: Booking could be a lot easier if

    you plan a celebration in May instead of June. Graduation parties that are

    held in May, before Memorial Day, usually get the best turn out.

--  Timing: Decide if you would like to celebrate in the morning, the

    middle of the day, or the evening; a three-hour window for your celebration

    is generally the best idea.

--  Graduation party conflicts: Check with anyone that may have a conflict

    -- including neighbors. Holding a graduation party at the same time could

    result in a parking problem.
