Las Vegas Graduation 2021 - How to honor your grad in the time of coronavirus

1/8/2021

 

 2021 Graduation in Las Vegas

Graduation from any level of education is an event to celebrate and enjoy with family and friends, and it’s more important than ever to honor your graduate. Graduation is more than just one day or party — it’s honoring a graduate’s years of hard work and dedication. However, we’re currently living in unprecedented and unpredictable times due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Although it’s impossible to say what will happen in the next few months, it’s likely that many plans, including graduation ceremonies and celebrations, will have to be postponed or changed.

There are many proactive steps you can take to have a fun (and safe) graduation celebration. Read on for ideas on how to still celebrate such a big milestone.

COVID-19 does not mean you have to immediately cancel your graduation party and any other celebrations associated with this momentous occasion. You can still plan a grad party, give or receive cards and personalized yard signs, express your pride to the new grad, or celebrate with your graduating class. However, heed health organizations’ instructions and make the necessary adjustments to your plans.

Small Party Ideas

One way to avoid canceling your party and to continue celebrating your big day is by having a small party with less than 10 individuals in attendance. Create an intimate setting with only your closest family and friends and celebrate your big win in small ways for now.
Make sure to limit close contact and adhere to the recommended distance of six feet from each other. To play it safe, frequently wash your hands for 20 seconds and disinfect surfaces during and after the party.

Virtual Party Ideas

If you want to opt for a safer alternative, consider having the graduation party over video chat. Create a virtual invite for all your friends and family, and host your party on one of the many video sharing platforms for large groups. This is the best way to limit social interaction and protect everyone from any potential exposure to the virus.
People can still interact, exchange congratulations and stories, and enjoy the atmosphere of the party without leaving their homes and risking their health. Plus, you do not have to limit your celebration to only a few friends or family members; you can invite everyone you want to your virtual graduation party.

Date Change Ideas

Although graduation traditionally occurs in May or June, your graduation party does not have to be on the same day as the actual event, especially in unknown times like these. If you have your perfect party planned, and it cannot be decreased in size or transferred online, consider delaying to a later date when it is safe for people to travel, be in public settings, and interact closely with others.

No matter what you choose to do you can celebrate your graduate in a BIG way. We would love to help be a part of your celebration. Contact us to book a personalized yard greeting!

Planning a Graduation PArty in Las Vegas for 2021

How to plan a memorable graduation party during Covid-19
Picture
We understand that the Covid-19 pandemic has put a lot of summer parties, especially 2021 graduation parties, into limbo. With the situation for 2021 still uncertain Las Vegas, many people are looking for ways to still have a memorable graduation celebration while following state guidelines. Here are our top tips for planning a graduation party during Covid-19.

  1. Host your party outdoors. We have always been fond of backyard graduation parties because they feel more personal. We recommend using a shaded canopy or patio cover to keep people out of the sun. Following guidelines of keeping guest seated 6 feet apart will impact the size of the space needed based on your anticipated guest count. You will want to keep in mind the space you have to work with and size of the space needed to determine the number of guests you can safely host. May in Las Vegas is a great time of year for an outdoor party.
  2. Order food from a caterer that is following CDC and state guidelines for sanitization and food preparation. Whether looking for pick-up catering or a full-service event, the way food is presented is important. Guests may not be comfortable with a large self-serve buffet with many different hands touching the serving utensils.
  3. Consider offering a boxed meal for each guest or individually served items. Boxed meals don’t have to be just your standard sandwich or salad. Think gourmet sandwiches served alongside homemade chips, individual Asian noodle salads served in Chinese takeout boxes, or a curated bento box with a variety of healthy offerings. There are many great restaurants in Las Vegas that provide this type of meal.

    If you’re thinking of having a full-service catered event, servers can handle food from the buffet to limit the amount direct contact guests have with the buffet. BBQ style cuisine like BBQ chicken, pulled pork sliders, and cornbread have always been popular options for summer grad parties and can easily be served by staff. Another option is an on-site chef cooking fresh burgers right from the grill for each guest. You could even bring in the sports game-day feel with individual open-top boxes assembled for guests, each filled with mini sliders or chili dogs served alongside fries.

4. When it comes to drinks -- you can include them in the boxed meal if you are doing that style of service, or have servers bring drinks to each guest individually. If you are hosting an event without a caterer, you could encourage guests to bring their own beverages.

5. How about adding in a unique way to follow mask guidelines? You can incorporate face masks into the celebration by getting custom cloth masks in the school colors or with the school logo on them.

6. Make it easy for guests to follow sanitization guidelines. Consider having hand sanitizer out and available for guests on every table and trash cans close by.

7. give lots of opportunities to take photos! You will want to remember this day for a long time. A yard greeting is a great BIG way to add a built in photo spot for your guests. They are even big enough for large group photos. Or consider adding on a photo frame to your greeting in another location so it gives people another spot for photos. We can work with any type of landscape in Las Vegas so think about adding a yard greeting to your celebration.

We know that this school year has been nothing but ordinary. So many seniors from the class of 2021 have missed out on the traditional experiences of their senior year. The Clark County School District has still not announced plans for graduation ceremonies for the class of 2021.

That doesn't mean that you can't still celebrate. Whether you choose to have a smaller gathering or a socially distant graduation party we can help you celebrate in a BIG way.

Booking a graduation sign with SG Las Vegas means that you get maximum impact at a fair price. We do all the work for you. Let us know your graduates hobbies, favorite sports, and school colors.
