Congratulations to the new high school and college graduates! To help you celebrate with your special graduate, here are some tips and recipe suggestions. Planning ahead will keep preparation and cleanup to a minimum so you can join in all the festivities.


Choose A Theme
It's their time to celebrate so let your graduate help decide what kind of party to have. Whether it's a pool party or a Mexican Fiesta, the theme is the starting point for all the planning.
 
 

Get Organized
Use lists to help you plan. After the guest list and invitations, plan your menu. Make choices according to the theme of the party. Consider your budget and the tastes of your guests. Make a shopping list and plan a timetable.
 
Plan Ahead
Buy and prepare food well in advance to help eliminate the last-minute rush. A good host is one who is relaxed and enjoys the party.
 
Easy Cleanup
Use Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil to line pans before baking meats, casseroles, side dishes and bar cookies. To line a pan, turn the pan upside down, press a sheet of foil around it. Remove the foil, flip the pan over and drop the foil liner inside. Crimp edges of foil to the rim of the pan. Add food and bake. Your pan stays clean!
 
Graduation Colors
It's easy to carry out the graduation theme with Reynolds® Color Plastic Wrap. Choose a color to match your school colors. Cover platters with color plastic wrap before they are filled to add festive color to the table. For an easy party favor, wrap up bundles of a favorite candy in Reynolds® Color Plastic Wrap to match your school colors and tie with curling ribbon. Attach a graduation key to the ribbon.
