Gather with your people
Graduations & homecomings
Ask the graduate how they want to celebrate before the family starts ordering matching shirts.
Keep the ceremony details separate from the family party. For a welcome-home gathering, confirm the arrival plan with the person coming home.

Choose a meal time or an open house
A sit-down meal needs a count for one time. An open house needs someone to welcome guests and keep track of supplies as people come and go. State the start and end times on the invitation and ask households for an approximate arrival window.
Give photos a place in the plan
Agree on a family photo time with the graduate, then tell relatives which clothes to bring. Collect names, sizes and quantities before ordering optional shirts. Use original family wording and check permission before including a school name, crest or logo.
Decide how keepsakes leave with guests
Choose whether favors are per person or household, and record collections quietly so late arrivals are included. Give someone the job of packing leftovers and returning borrowed equipment. For a homecoming, leave the arrival day flexible if travel details change.
