Hi Creative folks!

I could use some help here. I admit I totally stink at party planning, and while this one that I need to plan isn't till May this one is a particularly special party. I'll need all this time to work on getting ideas and things together. If you don't mind I could really use some help with party ideas, please?

My son will be graduating from high school in May, but not only is he graduating but he also has his 19th birthday just two days before he graduates. (He began later because of when his bday is.)

I am SO very proud of my son!!!!! Since moving to the area we are now he has dealt with a ton of bullying (even on one occasion we had to get the police involved) and other struggles including the sudden and unexpected passing of two of his closest friends. I would have understood (although not agreed) if he wanted to drop out of school simply because of what he's been through, but this is presicely why I am so incredibly proud of him for toughing it out and graduating.

This will be a dual purpose party obviously, and would sincerely appreciate any ideas you could offer of things we could do for these special occasions.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can offer!
