The GraduateA College Graduation Theme Party
When someone graduates from college, graduate, or doctoral school, they deserve to party, and party big! Graduation Invitations Make the graduate the center of attention from start to finish. They've earned it. The invitation should match the style of the graduate. A personalized invitation from Party411's Creations for You™ will also help set the tone for the party. I'd also put some graduation confetti in the envelope!
For an example of the many ways you can use caricatures throughout the party check out this caricature party package. It would be fun to play off on the movie, The Graduate. Have your caricature drawn as a movie poster for the Graduate with your grad on the cover. (You can ignore that whole affair with an older woman part!) Graduation Decorations If you have a long driveway, or just want to make it easier for guests to find your street, use a few yard signs to help direct them. You can place these at the ends of your street, or at the different turns through your subdivision that can be confusing. Attach a few balloons to the signs for maximum visibility. Then hang a 5' graduation banner outside on your house so that that everyone knows where the party is! If you are having a caricature made in honor of your graduate, why not have it made into a life-sized cutout? This is the perfect way to greet guests at the front door. If you are not going with a caricature, you can still get a life-size cut-out! How about one made to show off their chosen profession, like our doctor and nurse cutouts, or a favorite hobby, like this fisherman? Take a look through our full selection of life-sized cutouts. If your don't see exactly what you need, an d want a a custom designed cut-out, e-mail the Custom Queen!
Menu and Bar
Your graduate is older and has worked for years since graduating High School, so spoil them with a great meal at your event. I would make my life easier and have everything catered. You don't need a formal sit down meal. A nice selection of pass appetizers and food stations would be wonderful. Or just have heavy hors d'oeuvres.
Your catering company can set up a beautiful bar for you as well. Ask them to mix up a specialty drink and name if for your graduate! (They are over 21 now) If you're serving champagne (for the inevitable toasts) use champagne bottle and glass balloons at the bar to let guests know where to find the bubbly!
Graduation Activities
Usually graduation parties are all about socializing, reminiscing, and congratulating the graduate, and activities are not necessary to keep your guests mixing. But activities can be essential if your are going to have a large number of people who have never met, or just want to add something fun for your guests to do. Create trivia sheets with questions and puzzles that pertain to the grad's area of study. Literature major? Try match the author with their famous novel. Did the grad just get a master's in mathematics? Set out logic problems. A new doctor is in the house! Anatomy identification anyone? Just print out activities sheets and leave out pencils, everyone will be mingling in the hopes of finding someone who has the answer to #8! Graduation Favors
Other great options for favors are personalized fountain pens, personalized graduation frames, or imprinted tassel keychains. All of these are high quality favors any guest would love to receive.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. -Nelson Mandela
Give my congrats to the grad! The Party Girl
