After the ceremony
Festa plans graduation celebrations in the Dallas–Fort Worth area: the party after the ceremony, a family lunch, or a gathering for more than one graduate. School schedules set the date. The party plan has to work around them.
Graduation weekends in Dallas, Fort Worth, and nearby campuses stack ceremonies, photos, and family meals into a few hours. A graduation party planner helps the hosts choose a start time that does not collide with the ceremony, a place that can hold the real guest count, and decorations that celebrate the graduate without taking over the house for a week of setup.
High school and college celebrations can both be planned. The right length and the right activities depend on the graduate's age and on who else is invited.
Graduation planning may include a schedule built around the ceremony, venue questions, decor direction, and vendor coordination. Caps, gowns, school tickets, and official photos are the school's process, not Festa's. Event-day help is included only if the quote lists it.
The estimate depends on how many graduates are being honored, the guest count, whether the party is at home, and how tight the gap is between the ceremony and the first guest. May and December dates in the Metroplex are busy. Festa does not publish a graduation package price.
Send the school date as soon as you know it, even if the party location is still open.
Build a buffer after the ceremony before guests are told to arrive. Share campus parking limits with out-of-town family. If several households are hosting in one weekend, say which party Festa is being asked to plan.
The planning path is explained on Our Process. A party that is really a family dinner may also fit private party planning.
Yes. Use the school's current time and tell Festa if it is still tentative. The guest arrival can stay flexible until the time is confirmed.
If you want that, it can be part of the styling direction. It is not required. Some families prefer a plain dinner with one display of photos.
Yes. The quote should note both names, both schools if they differ, and whether the ceremonies overlap.
Often, with a weather backup. North Texas storms are a planning item, not a surprise to leave until the morning of the party.
Festa will ask about the gap between the ceremony and the party, and about how many people you expect.
