As an Oshkosh high school senior photographer, I enjoy helping my seniors prepare for graduation. Below you’ll find a list of some of the ways you can prepare yourself for the big day!
5 Tips To Help Your Plan Your Oshkosh North High School Graduation
1. Schedule Senior Photos
This once in a lifetime moment deserves to be preserved. One of the best ways you can save these memories is through your Oshkosh North High School senior photos. It’s important to book your photographer as soon as possible to ensure that you get your photos back in time for the yearbook deadline. Typically your senior photo is due around Halloween, but be sure to check the Oshkosh North seniors page for up-to-date information. Choose a photographer whose style you love and who will help you create your dream session. Browse through their website and check out their socials to get their vibe.
2. Purchase a Cap and Gown
This monumental moment is finally here, it’s time to purchase your cap and gown! You’re going to look amazing in those Oshkosh North High School green and gold school colors! Make sure you check the seniors page for the direct link for ordering your cap and gown. Also, don’t forget to order any cords or sashes that you may have earned through your extracurriculars or academic achievements. you’re definitely going to want to wear them and show them off during graduation! Your cap and gown orders are typically due in October so be sure to keep a close eye on your email and watch for a Jostens rep to meet with your class.
3. Buy Your Oshkosh North High School Graduation Outfit
Graduation day deserves its very own special outfit. When choosing the right outfit, you’re going to want to take a few things into consideration. For instance, the location of the ceremony is going to be a major factor. The Oshkosh Arena has opted to host Oshkosh North High School’s graduation, which means you’ll be indoors and air conditioned. So you may want to consider either a longer dress, pants and possibly something with sleeves to make sure that you’re not too cold. You’ll also want to think about your footwear because that will be most visible. Since you’ll be indoors, choose something comfortable and stylish that you can walk in with ease, after all the last thing you’re going to want to do is trip while on stage haha. If you’re needing help or ideas for the perfect outfit I highly suggest you check out the boutiques in Oshkosh!
4. Plan a Celebration
As you continue to plan your Oshkosh North High School graduation you’re also going to want to think about planning a celebration! After all, you’ve waited your whole life to get to this very moment and so it deserves celebrating! You’re going to want to think about a location for your party. Many of the common spots in the area book fast so it’s important to plan ahead. You could rent out a pavilion at South Park, rent a room at the Waters, or rent the Gibson Social Club for your graduation party for just a few ideas. You’re also going to want to chat with your friends about their graduation party date to make sure that you don’t plan it on the same day so you can attend each other’s parties. make sure that you also think about food, games, beverages and decor! Have fun with it, after all it’s a day all about you.
5. Order Invitations
After you have your grad party planned out, you’re going to want to order invitations. You can order invites online through places like Shutterfly or Walgreens photo. Typically you’re able to customize them and add in your own senior photos. Make sure you have a print release from your senior photographer to be able to order your graduation party invites. Some photographers also offer grad invites as part of their services, which would make your life a whole lot easier with one stop shopping. Reach out to your photographer if you’re unsure and check with them.
