Planning a graduation party means choosing a theme, creating a guest list, choosing a date, sending out invitations and more. When the big day comes, you want to focus on the grad and the celebration, not on the food. Catering by Design helps create a memorable event by professionally catering your party on your budget.
Graduation Party Food Ideas
The best catering for graduation parties starts with your guest list. Determine how many people are coming, their tastes and the event theme. Think about where you’ll be serving — indoors or outside — and consider something unique that your guests will love.
If you’re looking for graduation party food ideas, consider:
Brunch buffet: Graduates love the idea of a fancy brunch, and a brunch buffet is a self-serve option we can customize to serve a larger crowd.
A Chance of Showers: With tea sandwiches and a buffet, this small-plate option from Catering by Design is ideal for outdoor graduation parties or relaxed yet sophisticated events.
Hors d’Oeuvre buffet: Small finger foods allow guests to relax and mingle while enjoying delicious treats.
Backyard Picnic: Many graduations happen in the summer months, so try a season-appropriate backyard picnic. The outdoor setting can work with many themes while offering options for graduation photos.
An Italian Affair Buffet: Italian food is a popular favorite, and a tailored Italian buffet allows guest to serve themselves while you focus on celebrating.
Southern Buffet: Celebrate favorite Southern classics with a buffet-style meal that leaves guests full and satisfied.
Fiesta Americana: Mexican food is a hit with guests of all ages, so a Mexican buffet is a sure crowd-pleaser.
