    The finish line has been crossed and a brand new chapter is starting. Your loved one is opening the door to a whole new world. While graduations are exciting, they can also be bittersweet. Let’s take a look at a few ideas to make the most of it and celebrate your graduate in the most special way. 

    A Themed Party

    We’re obviously pretty biased in this department but it’s with good reason! A themed party with graduation party decorations and supplies is always a great idea. A graduation party may be one of your last opportunities to have close family, friends, and fellow graduates all together, in one room. After this moment, flights will be booked, dorm rooms will become homes, and brand new jobs will be started. 

     

    Take advantage of the togetherness and celebrate a special moment, in style! Not sure where to start? No problem! That’s what we’re here for. Below, we’re going to list off a few graduation party theme ideas. Whether you’re planning a graduation party as a surprise or alongside your graduate, these ideas will be sure to kick off the event on the right foot. 

    One Smart Cookie

    Plan a ‘one smart cookie’ graduation party for your cookie lover graduate. If you’re feeling nervous about your decorating skills, this theme is perfect. Your cookies will serve as sweet treats and decor. All you’ll need to do is add a few graduation party decorations to tie everything together, and wa-la! Complete the look with a themed banner and a few balloons and your event will be sweetly themed. 

    Taco Bout’ a Future

    The talk about a future taco theme is fun, adorable, and delicious. If you want to keep it simple, for your graduation party supplies, all you’ll need is taco themed napkins and balloons. If you want to take things up a notch, decorate your venue with taco string lights and have taco headbands available for all of your guests. 

    If your graduation party is for a high school graduate, make fun virgin mocktails like:

    • Pina Coladas
    • Lime Rickeys
    • Bloody Marys
    • Mojitos
    • Shirley Temples
    • Daiquiris

    If your graduation party is for a college grad and tailored to adult guests, serve the same drinks with their standard alcoholic measurements. And just like the cookie theme, your food can also serve as your graduation party decoration. Strategically place your themed napkins and balloons around your gorgeous spread of taco shells and fillers to create the aesthetic you’re going for. 

    Oh, The Places You’ll Go

    This Dr. Suess theme will definitely bring all of the moments of life to a full circle. Most of us grew up reading Dr. Suess and this theme is definitely for the graduate who is eager to spread their wings, while still having an appreciation for their nest. A great way to make this theme even more special is to surprise your graduate with a trip! One last family vacation before your graduate is “officially an adult” sounds amazing, doesn’t it?

    Use Dr. Suess’s graduation party decorations throughout your venue to make your themed party pop. Have Cat in the Hat headbands and hats readily available for your guests to wear and themed snacks ready for your guests to eat.

    Make it Last

    When it comes to graduations, sometimes you just want to hold on a little while longer. Make it last with a memory themed party. For graduation party supplies, you’ll need polaroid cameras, camera themed decor, and scrap books. Encourage your guests to take as many photos as possible while enjoying the event–and then, set up a scrapbook station for guests to glue their freshly taken photos into their scrapbooks with meaningful words.
