Given Dearly
Graduation guide

A graduation party checklist that leaves room to celebrate.

There is a lot to be proud of. A short plan keeps the logistics quiet so the graduate and the people who supported them stay at the center.

Four to six weeks before

  • Choose the date, location and guest list.
  • Send the invitation with an RSVP deadline.
  • Add parking, dress and food information in the same place.

The week of the celebration

  • Confirm RSVPs and food count.
  • Prepare a few meaningful photos or a display of their journey.
  • Make a plan for gifts and cards so no one is missed later.

After the party

  • Record gifts and the person behind each one.
  • Send a real, specific thank-you.
  • Share a private photo from the next chapter when it feels right.

Let every thank-you feel personal

Given Dearly gives hosts a private way to organize gifts and share the moments that follow a milestone.
