Grad party, on a tight budget with location issues -- any ideas?
I recently graduated from college and want to throw a graduation party. I have the problems, however, of being on a very tight budget and unable to host the party at my house. I don't plan on having many people over (probably a max of around 25.) I am currently getting everything packed up for moving and my house is a prime example of a worst case scenario for party hosting. I have a fairly large back yard, but I can't see inviting people over and just forcing them to stay out of the house in the yard with the hot, humid weather my area's been experiencing lately. This location issue really concerns me because I'm not sure of any indoor alternatives that won't end up costing me a chunk of money. Any wallet-friendly ideas?
Answers:
Could you just meet at a really neat park in your area? Some of them have great shelters that you can rent for a nominal fee. You could then have games like softball or volleyball, or just bring music and talk.
You could tell people that you just want to get together to celebrate your graduation and your impending move and ask them to bring a dish to share. However if you're having the party to get money, it might be tacky to ask people to contribute food too.
CANCUN or PARTY AT UR HOUSE WITH 3 KEGS!! AND LOTS OF VODKA!!!!
