Tennis Graduation Party
by Jean Armour
(Scotland)
We are a sports mad family, and so mostly are our friends. Our main sport is tennis and that is the theme we chose for our son's University graduation party this year, it was really his idea.
We have booked our local tennis club for the night and are having a totally tennis evening. Everyone is required to wear tennis gear and be ready to play a little tennis. Our other son is going with a big wig and wants to be John McEnroe for the night. He has promised lots of tantrums. I hope other guests will come as a particular star.
Food is mainly healthy buffet style wih lots of fruit and veggie dips. However our son loves curry so we are having our local restaurant deliver a buffet with lots of different foods, tastes and spices.
Decorations are largely almost as we would want them We just need to add more tennis stuff and pictures. On top of that we have congratulations banners, graduation caps, balloons, streamers, bunting and confetti.
We are thinking of booking a caricaturist to draw everyone as a cartoon tennis player.
Games will be centred on tennis. We have a Wii with a tennis game on it too.
We hope to add detail to this one over the next 2 months.
