Going Away Party Ideas | RabbleOn
This year, COVID-19 came and disrupted our normal life right around the time we would’ve been celebrating our amazing graduates. Now that things are opening up and your graduate is about to enter the next stage of their life, it is the perfect time to throw a going away party to celebrate their accomplishments and where they are headed next. Just make sure that your party is outside in a large space where people are able to social distance! Here are some our our top tips to help create a memorable going away party for your graduate!

Tip # 1: Create a Special Drink
Create a special cocktail or mocktail for your guests of all ages! This way your guests are hydrated and able to stay cool in the summer heat with a refreshing and memorable drink in hand! Try serving this fun take on a moscow mule!

Peach Moscow Mule
Ingredients:
- 4 oz ginger beer (we love Bundaberg)
- Fresh peach, skinned & divided
- 1 sprig fresh mint
- 1/2 fresh lime
- 10 blackberries, fresh or frozen
- Ice
- 1.5 oz of vodka (for a boozy version)
Directions:
- In the bottom of a copper mug, mush up one-fourth of the peach using a fork or large spoon.
- Cover with ice, and pour the ginger beer (and vodka) over the top. Squeeze lime. Add the blackberries. Top with mint sprig.
- Allow everything to sit for five minutes prior to serving.
Tip # 2: Throw in Some Graduation-Themed Decorations
Using some graduation-themed decorations will help add some life to your party! Pick some decorations that are the same colors as the grad’s alma mater or go with the classic black, white, and gold graduation color scheme. You can find many vendors on our own website that would be perfect for any of your party décor needs!

Tip #3: Serve Up Some Single-Serving Food
In the era of COVID-19, a buffet-style meal might not be the best idea. A great way to ensure that everyone is safe is to have individually packed meals for everyone. This is very easy to carry out with the help of a food truck that allows each guest to choose their own meal, and many food trucks can be easily booked through our website such as Ruthie's Food Truck. Their grilled cheeses are out-of-this-world amazing!

Tip #4: Safety First
Make sure to wash your hands and wear a mask when applicable. This will ensure that your graduate can feel celebrated and everyone helping celebrate can feel safe and comfortable.
Although graduation looked different for our 2020 graduates, hopefully they can still be celebrated by their friends and family during a going away party before they take their next step!
