Planning a Graduation PArty in Las Vegas for 2021

How to plan a memorable graduation party during Covid-19

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.
