We had a form a little while back where I just had to mark that she wanted the basic cap and gown package- not ordering the announcements or the "Senior 2017" hoodies, etc.!
DD and BFF are having their grad reception together, since they both live a ways from the main town. Today DD texted if I thought a baked potato bar would be good. I think that sounds fairly easy (and probably cheaper than a meat based main food), if anyone has tips, let me know. We'll be in a church hall with two large stoves, so I could bake a lot of potatoes there, and fill my big roaster as needed at the counter for serving. Cheese, sour cream, ham, bacon, broccoli, chili, what else?
I'm planning on the reception on Mother's Day afternoon. That's the Sunday before graduation. That way she can go to all of the receptions that Saturday and the weekend of graduation. In addition, State Track is graduation weekend, so there is a good possibility she'll be running Thursday, Friday, and/or Saturday, and graduate on Sunday. I want the reception to be done before then.
