Coupons for Good: 4 Ways to Celebrate Your
Teen's High School Graduation
Your baby is
all grown up. Now he or she is a proud teenager ready to celebrate one of the
rites of passage to adulthood — graduation! You want to find the perfect way to
show your child how proud you are of his or her accomplishment. Here are four
ways to celebrate your teen's high school graduation.
Signed Canvas
It's never
too soon to start thinking about college decor. A signed canvas is both an
immediate way for loved ones to express their feelings and a future dorm room
centerpiece. These canvases aren't blank — they have graduation-themed
designs to show the nature of the achievement. Still, they offer plenty of
space for countless proud family members and friends to leave messages.
After
everyone signs the canvas, it can hang on the graduate's wall until he or she
is ready to move into the dorm. At that point, it becomes a permanent reminder
of home. You're displaying your love while getting an early start on your
child's dorm living.
Throw a Party
Nothing
commemorates a graduation like an unforgettable night. Accordingly, invite all
your child's loved ones to a party — and you don't even have to host it on
graduation night. Because the 24 hours surrounding graduation are hectic,
consider waiting until the following weekend. That way, the entire event will
focus on your kid's triumph.
You'll want
to decorate your home for the event, so kill two birds with one stone by using 1800Flowers coupons. That way, you can adorn your home
with inexpensive flowers and buy a memorable bouquet for the graduate while
doing some good in the process. Some Facebook coupons automatically include charitable
donations as a part of the transaction. Finally, you can make the event even
more fun by offering a themed photo booth so that everyone can commemorate the
night.
Take Your Graduate
Shopping
Finding the
perfect graduation gift is a challenge. You can sidestep the issue entirely
with some retail therapy. Rather than giving your kid something boring like a
gift card, sit him or her down to talk about the next phase of life. Point out
that he or she is about to start college and will need to populate a dorm room.
The signed canvas, after all, will only go so far.
Then take
your graduate to the mall and provide for all of his or her upcoming needs,
including bedding, supplies, and furniture. Then surprise your graduate by
letting him or her pick something special as a reward for finishing high
school. You'll enjoy an unforgettable day together, and your child will feel
better prepared for college — and can start field-testing all his or her new
college supplies a few months early.
Do Something Memorable
This tip
might sound vague, but that's because it depends on where you live. Take a look
at discounted listings for local Groupons, then choose something that you'd never have suggested
otherwise. Alternately, let your child pick the entertainment, understanding
that if he or she chooses skydiving, you're pot-committed to join in. Groupons
offer a remarkable variety of local entertainment options, allowing you to find
something that will feel like a fitting tribute to the end of your child's
school career.
You're a
proud parent of a kid who has done something amazing. Let your child know how
much you appreciate his or her achievement by taking any — or all — of these
suggestions.
