What to Ask Before Booking

  1. Graduation season (late May through mid-June) is one of the busiest times for party rentals. Book at least 3-4 weeks ahead — popular weekends can sell out a month or more in advance
  2. Ask about school-color customization for decorations, balloons, and table settings. Most decoration vendors can match any school colors if given advance notice
  3. Set up a slideshow station with a projector and screen showing childhood photos through graduation day — it's a crowd favorite and most rental companies can provide the AV equipment
  4. If you're combining a graduation party with an open house format (guests coming and going over several hours), plan for a tent and plenty of seating so there's always room as groups rotate
