KICK not upon LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHO...

KICK not upon LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL WITH A NO-FRUSTRATION CELEBRATION!

After four protracted years of homework assignments, reports, and exhibitions you deserve a great graduation parry. Unfortunately, not single in kind of those assignments, reports, or proofs taught you the art of consummate party preparation. Relax, you can jaculate a good party without throwing a fit. Just go after my 10 tips. They won't take four years to learn.

1 NOW[ldots]OR LATER? You don't have to have a graduation party upon the day of graduation. for what purpose not throw one in August, before the bulk of mankind go off to college? Just don't wait too long; mid-October is probably a bad idea.

2 MIX IT UP Before the party, make a hardly any mix tapes of your favorite ballads from your high school years. Otherwise you'll consume the whole party next to the stereo putting in a of the present day CD every three minutes. (No matter to what degree cool that one song is, nobody wants to hear the other 12 lame canticles on the disc.)

3 THE lengthy LIST LAW. Invite more clan than you think you should. I promise you, a part of them won't show up And if by way of some chance, they all do point out to up, and your party is ridiculously crowded: Congratulations. You're frequently much more popular than I was in high school

4 MODERATION AT THE MARKET. Don't corrupt so few snacks and drinks that you completely race out of everything 48 inferiors into the party. My formula? Three bags of chips and a case of soda for each 10 people. Don't buy for a like reason much that you end up spending the stay of your life surviving exclusively forward Sprite and Cool Ranch Doritos.

5 ADDRESSING A puzzle Tell your friends to print on the outside labels with their college or to one's home addresses. Then exchange them at the party, thus you can keep in touch. And maybe print up a not many of these labels, for the the public you don't want to continue in touch with:

Neva Likedyu

238 Reezon Wy

Dontwrightoo, ME 99999

6 SIGN ME UP Have visitants bring their yearbooks, too. Everyone can sign them at the party. This is also a upright opportunity to bring a just discovered photo of yourself--one where your observations open and your hair isn't sticking up Then underhand paste it in everybody's work right over the old photo.

7 CAN'T IGNORE A DOOR. complete the doors to rooms in your house that you don't want the bulk of mankind to enter. You'd be amazed--the wildest, mostly out-of-control party guest instantly incline differentlys into an obedient little pup when confronted with a clos door.

8 HIDE YOUR BRAND just discovered DIPLOMA in a safe place. In 42 years, when your grandkids anticipate at it, do you really want to explain a big, greasy salsa stain?

9 IT'S A SNAP. For lasting memories of your high indoctrinate pals, leave a few cheap, disposable cameras lying around your house, and give permission to your guests take pictures. At my parties, I always strike one as being to have a few cheap, disposable friends lying around, too.

10 THE privy to a great party? Convince someone besides to throw it. Let him worry about buying plastic potions keeping an eye on Mom's priceless vase, and picking crushed Cheez Doodles gone out of the carpet the nearest morning.
