5 Reasons to Love Our Graduation Party Planning Checklist

1. Automatic Timeline

One question that is always on everyone's mind when planning an event is “How much time do I have to plan?”. We believe that everyone's circumstances are different which makes it difficult to come up with a fixed time frame that works as a one size fits all type of deal. First, you have to find the graduation ceremony's date. You can find the information for the graduation ceremony from the school event calendar.

Another method would be to contact the school through the number they list on their websites. Then all you have to do is add the start day for planning the event and the day you will be holding the graduation party. Then each task in the worksheet will get an assigned due date! With this feature, we wanted to help reduce your stress and make sure that you have everything taken care of in time for the event.

2. Visuals

Our template is formatted to help you easily see what tasks need to get done, and which should have higher priority.

• Find the perfect venue for the graduation party? Check the box in the row for choosing a venue, and it will turn green. This helps you visually spot which tasks are still outstanding.
• Did you get caught up with your busy schedule? If you start to approach a due date, it will turn yellow. If it passes without completion, it will turn red. This will help you prioritize tasks.

3. Shareable!

Planning any type of event has its difficulty, and anything that can go wrong will happen. To help minimize planning difficulties, try to recruit people who can help you. Even when you do find help with the planning it isn’t always easy to coordinate your task completion. However, with our checklist template you can share with whomever you wish via Google Drive. Everyone will be on the same page, in real-time! Multiple people can edit at the same time which will make it effortless to track task completion on your graduation party checklist.
