Put a swing into the graduation party. Graduate in style!

You'll be amazed at the sheer number of graduation party decorations.

Save time and energy and search through the World's Largest Party Superstore

They have a stunning selection of graduation decorations.

I have tried to give you lots of ideas on golf invitations, golf food, golf decorations, golf costumes, golf games and golf favors which will be great for any venue. You may have a Home Party or alternative venue in mind.

Hosting the graduation golf theme party in conjunction with the school for example is a brilliant idea. That gives:

• a good size of party with better golf decorations and a more eye catching golf venue to get everyone excited


• A budget, perhaps, to hire golf equipment, buy golf decorations and hire entertainers, such as a golf professional


• Parents to help organise, raise funds and help at the golf party


• Lots of party goers to take part in each golf party game

This gives the chance to set up a real golf theme party venue with great detail.

With lots of fun, energy and enthusiasm your graduation golf theme party can be a brilliant success.

Golf Theme Party - Invitations

There are lots of great images to use on golf theme party invitations to get the party started.

• Golfers, Golfers swinging a club.


• Golf course, individual holes, tee, fairway, rough, bunkers and green.


• Golf clubs, putters, drivers and irons.


• Golf balls and tees


• Famous golf courses such as St Andrews, Augusta, Pebble Beach and Muirfield


• Antique golf equipment


• Bright golf clothing


• Golf heroes such as Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Ernie Els, Ben Hogan and Tom Morris.


• Famous people who love golf such as Justin Timberlake

A brilliant way to design the golf theme party invitations is as scorecards, competition announcements or a course plan.

Clipart Graduation Invitations

The simplest way to complete golf theme party invitations is to use clipart.

• Copy and Paste the golf graduation clip art image that you would like to use into your word document. Before you paste make sure your cursor is in the location where you want the clip art placed


• Click on the image and arrows will appear on the corners. Use these arrows to stretch the image to the desired size.


• Then I simply added wordart at the top of the page for a fancy title and added the party details in plain text underneath the graduation clip art.

Lots more detailed instructions on my clipart page..

Photo Graduation Invitations

Also, simply arrange a good quality golf style photograph. A photograph of the graduate dressed as a golfer, set against a golf course background, would be perfect, and in keeping with the golf theme party.

Scan it onto your computer.

Using photo editing software, change the picture dimensions to the size you need.

Then simply print onto flat card with the printed invitation details on the back. Instant invitations.

Free Printable Graduation Invitations

Here is a free printable for you to use or get inspiration from:

Golf Theme Party - Confetti

One of the great graduation golf theme party ideas is to have personalised confetti.

The most amazing photo confetti maker can produce golf confetti using up to 10 golf photos and up to 3 accent colors. You can choose green and white for golf. They have packs to suit your occassion.

The golf theme party photos could be of the graduate golfing, at different ages and on different courses.

Golf Theme Party - Costumes

A golf theme party is pretty simple to prepare costumes for.

• Bright golf attire including check sweaters in bright colors


• Garish golf trousers in bright colored checks. Just like Watson and Nicklaus in the 1980s. The brighter the better!


• Dark trainers for golf shoes. Golf shoes would ruin your flooring.


• Golf hats of all shapes with logos on them The logo could be personalised with the graduate's name or the high school or college. The colors could be school colors or the graduate's favorite.


• Golf gloves, again with a personalised logo on them.


• Plus Fours and any old fashioned golf wear. You could just tuck your pants into long socks to create the effect. Golfers did wear tweed jackets with shirt and tie. You could add moustaches and old fashioned hats for effect. Top that off with an old style hickory shafted club and you are an 1800s golfer.


• Golf clubs, just bring one favorite club to carry for effect.


• A caddy outfit, with name of graduate on the back, topped off with golf hat.


• The Tiger Wood's lucky last day outfit with a red top and black pants

Golf Theme Party - Decorations

Use those great golf theme party images, like pictures, clubs and clothing, which are all readily available. Anything you don't have you may be able to borrow.

• Golf memorabilia. Old fashioned golf clubs, balls, pictures and attire, if you can borrow some


• Golf Clubs, set out lots of them. Stage setting them within casing or just setting them out on a green cloth with a golf ball and some tees. Effective lighting can showcase your display.


• Life sized cut outs of golfers, which can be used for photos.


• Cut golfing pictures from golf magazines. That can be photos of courses, golfers and golfing shots, amazing tournament winning shots, famous golfers winning trophies, famous golfing shots and famous moments.


• Display golfing cartoons from golf magazines, golf humor is very sharp.


• Pebble Beach Mural, 8 by 14 foot


• A putting green, use one of the putting games which come complete with the 'carpet' and hole, just provide a putter and balls.


• Big scorecards. Even a blown up photo of a famous scorecard. That could be a course record round or a final tournamnet winning scorecard.


• Golf course maps. there are many, many great courses that your guests will be interested in.


• Pictures of golf courses and golfers. Great to have St Andrews, Pebble Beach, Augusta and Muirfield. many courses have famous landmarks like the Road hole at St Andrews and the Lighthouse at Turnberry


• Show videos of classic golf matches. The duel in the sun at Turnberry between Watson and Nicklaus makes a great video. I like Tiger winning his first US Masters.


• Golf hats, gloves, umbrellas, tees
• Balloons and Streamers, colored green and white. Hang them from light fittings, on chairs and on doors. Balloons look best in bunches.


• Flags, just like the flag sticks at each hole.


• make your won bunting with card and thread.


• Locker room, if you are using the school as a venue it may well have a locker room to decorate. Golf courses usually have well sticked locker rooms with golf shoes, towels, clubs, and the odd torn up scorecard!


• Trophies, borrow them or make fake ones by cutting out a trophy shape in cardboard and painting silver. Write Graduate Tournament on them. Showcase real trophies on say a purple cloth and with some spot lighting.


• First tee, build a fake first tee with some green carpet, a signpost with details such as Hole 1, 400 yards, par 4.


• Starters Hut, perhaps you have a hut that can be dresed as the starters hut. Use it to check everyone in to the party


• 19th hole, where food and drink will be served. This can be signposted and have a banner above it.


• Picture of the graduate golfing over the years from that first tentative swing.


• Play videos of the graduate golfing.


• Play videos of famous golfing moments


• You may be lucky and there is a major tournament playing on TV at the same time as the party


• If you have an artist friend ask them to draw a giant golfing mural, which could be of the golfing graduate. The guests can color it in, draw on it and leave messages for the graduate.

The golf theme party table centrepiece can be a golf hole, the 19th hole and have balls, tees and a flag stick. Have a green table cover, golf plates and napkins. Look at this great 19th hole table cover.



Decorate your guests, this is a brilliant way to add to the golf theme party and get your guests in the graduation party mood!

• Golf hats, sunglasses, and gloves


• Funtoos


• 2008 Glasses


• 2008 Beads


• Graduation caps


• Cap Medallions


• Lots of glow sticks and bracelets

A great idea is to have a box of guest decorations at the party entrance, along with golf balls, tees and scorecards, and hand them out liberally!

Search Ebay for bargain golfing items if you find you need more.

Golf theme Party - Food and Drink

A golf theme party requires simple food. Signpost the food area as the 19th hole. You could announce the courses as Tee off (starter), Fairway (main course) and Green (desert).

• Hot Dogs with all the extras


• BBQ with chicken, spare ribs, burgers, and sausages


• Sausages


• Buffet, with lots of cold cuts, coleslaw, potato salad and all your favorite buffet dishes.


• Green salad and lots of oher salads


• Bowls of fruit and berries


• Bowls of carrots and celery

Golf theme party drinks, non alcoholic champagne, grape juice, ginger beer, fruit smoothies and water.

• Have a golf fashion show with guests walking down the runway to show off their golf costume. Prizes for the best and worst!


• Putting contests, using a carpet based putting surface and hole. Organise a scorer to keep a record of the scores. Sudden death play off for a tie. Arrange a trophy


• Crazy Golf, you could try and make your own crazy golf course using drainpipes, plant pots and lots of other garden equipment.


• Golf Trivia quiz on golfers, golf courses and Open tournaments. Again, a trophy for the winner.


• How many tees in the jar, fill a jar with hundreds of tees.


• Hire a computerised golf game. There are fantastic almost real computer games where you can actually swing the club and the screen takes you round the course.


• Bunkers, hide golf balls in a sand box. The young kids are to find them for a prize.


• If you are able to set up a completely safe area you could create a sandpit bunker and a hole. The challenge is to play the bunker shot with the closest to the flag being the winner.


• Blindfold putting, work in teams of two. The sighted partner instructing the blindfold golfer on directions, without touching them.


• Guess Who, have some well known guests photographed dressed up in vintage golfing attire. The game is to guess who they are. Have guests record their answers and give a prize to the winner.


• Guess the Year, display golfing photos of the graduate over the years from their first swing. The guests are to guess the year each photo relates to.


• Golfers love their cartoons and jokes. Have a best joke contest.


• For smaller children you could have a crafts table. You could have golf coloring in and decorate a golf hat, providing a blank hat, pens, feathers, stickers and safe glue.

Golf Theme Party - Favors

Great graduation golf theme party favors are golf bags with lots of golf balls and tees.

Also hats, towels, gloves, socks umbrellas, t-shirts, mugs, pens and stationery in golf theme.

You could also make golf theme party Thank You cards in the design of scorecards.

• The kids need some free time just to play, arrange activity areas where they can choose what to do, or just run around exploring the graduation party ideas
