Spring is in the air, and another school year is almost over. This means this year’s graduating class is gearing up to walk up onto the stage, throw their caps in the air, and begin the next part of their lives. So it’s time to celebrate this important milestone by throwing a graduation party with family and friends.
There’s so much to consider when planning a graduation party, like finding a venue, making a guest list, sending the invitations, putting up decorations, choosing the music, and a thousand other details. With so much to get done, the best way to ensure everything goes off without a hitch and is memorable for all the right reasons is with graduation party catering services. Because grad parties are always all about the food.
So with that in mind, here are some catering ideas to create a perfectly irresistible party menu for your graduate!
Grazing Station
Kick your kid’s grad party off in style with a crowd-pleasing table of finger food. Grazing tables are often the first pit-stop at any party, which keeps guests munching and satisfied while they socialize with each other. The best thing about a grazing station is that you can combine whatever food you want, and they’re especially ideal for an outdoor party.
Appetizers
This is all about food your guests can grab with their fingers. Or skewered appetizers because everyone loves eating from a stick. Or you can have heaps of different platters with crackers, cheese prosciutto, diced fruit, pepperoni, nuts, ham, and olives. And add some guacamole with fresh avocado, chopped onions, jalapeños, and tortilla chips. The options are almost endless!
BBQ Style

Maybe you’d like beef burritos with avocado and cilantro, chicken tacos with roasted garlic aioli, or pulled pork carnitas with shaved jalapeno. Another very popular idea is a build-your-own nachos bar with a wide variety of toppings to choose from.
Buffet
When it comes to a buffet , there’s always plenty of options for deliciously hearty and filling food. Like mini cheeseburgers stuffed full of toppings like smashed avocado, caramelized onions, chipotle aioli, and multiple types of cheeses. Or maybe classic honey chicken rolls paired with a mixed green salad with fruit or a potato salad. Another idea is a pasta bar filled with heaps of different types of pasta and a range of yummy toppings.
Dessert Time
While a cake is often a necessity for many graduates, there are many different ways it can be offered to guests these days. Maybe your graduate would rather a dessert station with cupcakes, donuts, or mini cream puffs. Chocolate fountains are another fun idea that’s often unexpected.
