Reward Your Recent Graduate with a NYC Limo Ride

June 4, 2010

Celebrate your student's accomplishment with an evening in NYC and a limo!

It’s almost graduation time for those high school seniors, and what better way to celebrate than taking your graduate out in New York City (or New Jersey or Connecticut) in a limo? Whether your son or daughter has just graduated college or high school or even 8th grade, a NYC limo is the perfect way to celebrate this milestone in both of your lives.

Don’t just take your graduate out to dinner at Applebee’s with the family like you do every other weekend. Rent a limo, gather up 3 of their best friends and your immediate family and take everyone out to a nice restaurant in downtown NYC for dinner. Since riding in a limo isn’t something your child does every day, it will be an extra special way to celebrate and a great memory for one of the most important days of his or her life.

Celebrities have the idea. Teri Hatcher, actress best-known for her role on the TV show, Desperate Housewives was spotted taking her 13-year-old daughter, Emerson, out to dinner in a limo to celebrate her 8th grade graduation (read the story here). Your son or daughter will feel like a celebrity for a night in NYC in a glamorous limo. There are plenty of other fun activities you can do to celebrate your child’s rite of passage into high school, college or the real world, such as:

  • Throw your graduate a surprise party at your local party center. Have a limo pick them up at your home and take them to and from the party.
  • Take your graduate sightseeing around NYC in a limo. Whether you’re a New Yorker, or visiting from another state, being taken around the city in a limo will be like nothing you and your graduate have ever experienced.
  • If your graduate is of the legal drinking age (college graduate), take them on a Long Island limo wine tour. It’s a sleek, sophisticated way to celebrate graduating college and stepping into the real world.
  • Take your graduate shopping around NYC or to see a sports game in a limo. He or she will feel like a star and never forget what a special day they had with their family.

No matter what you choose to do to celebrate this important milestone in your child’s life, remember to plan ahead to avoid stress. Also remember to be safe and have the time of your life. Your child only graduates from high school or college once, so enjoy this special moment and make sure they do the same.
