7 Easy, Creative Ideas for a Memorable Graduation Party

The big day’s coming up fast! It’s almost time to celebrate your graduation … and we have a ton of creative ideas for a party everyone will enjoy.

SET UP A POPCORN BAR

Arrange a tasty table with freshly popped corn, seasonings, and toppings. Cook up the corn right before guests arrive so the flavor is perfect. Choose containers that complement the theme of your party.

MAKE A PHOTO WREATH

The perfect door or entryway decoration to welcome guests! Use a Styrofoam craft wreath covered in ribbon to create a base. Print photos in color or black-and-white – pick one or the other for a consistent look. Use scrapbook “frames” to set each image off, then pin or glue to your wreath.

BORROW A PAGE FROM DR. SEUSS

Everyone loves the lighthearted verse in Dr. Seuss’s book, “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” Borrow your favorites to tuck into centerpieces, or as tags for takeaway gift bags. You might even leave a copy of the book out for guests to sign as a group gift for your graduate.

CAPTURE MEMORIES WITH A FUN PHOTO BOOTH

Create a simple backdrop using a blank wall or fabric. Buy or make signs and props your guest can use to make silly or serious images. Display a hashtag — #LilyGrad2018 – for guests’ social media posts.

CREATE AN UNCONVENTIONAL “GUESTBOOK”

This is one of the most creative ideas we’ve seen. Buy a new Jenga set, and put out fine-point permanent pens for guests to sign the wooden pieces. Your graduate will take this treasure trove of good wishes into the next chapter of life.

GROW SOME GOOD ADVICE

Set up a DIY “advice tree” where guests can offer their best life hacks for the new grad. Find a nice-looking branch and decorate with spray paint, or leave natural if you prefer. “Plant” the tree in a vase filled with gravel or gems, then place colorful cards, pens and mini-clips so guests can affix their advice to the tree when done.

GOTTA WEAR SHADES

Riff on the classic Timbuk3 song and offer your guests a stylish pair of sunglasses as party favors. You’ll find inexpensive shades in bulk that will add to the fun and probably show up in plenty of photo booth images too.
