[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a similar situation.

Do not listen to other people here who are calling this ridiculous. Even if it is an elementary school graduation (or insert any other milestone), it’s awesome that you have people who would set aside time to be there.

Here’s what we did:

- we created an easy menu
- breakfast was just pantry items
- lunch and dinner options: make your own tacos, sandwiches, ordered pizza, premade lasagna trays 
- we also asked two people who had a signature dish make it
- when folks arrived, we asked the helpful ones if they could help with a particular task (dishes, sweeping the floor, cooking, chopping, setting the table, etc). It’s also good to get tweens and teens involved by asking them to help capture memories and take photos
- we also had a list of recommendations for restaurants and encouraged people to go on their own
- we planned “walks” around the neighborhood to let people get out without the fuss and getting folks out the house and in a car
- we had a game night, movie night 
- when needed, we excused our own family for a nap/quiet time in the afternoon (and many ppl followed suit)

Have a blast OP. Look at it as an opportunity to create memories and bonds. Put a smile on that face and don’t let the debbie-downers here affect you.

Yes, you will be tired but the effort is worth the end result.[/quote]
