THE Graduation Party Idea

All Themed On The Graduate

Home >> Party Themes >> Graduation Party Idea

The best graduation party idea is based all on the graduate. Lots of photos, banners, their favorite food and of course lots of fun!

I hope to give you the ideas that will thrill your guests and make you hugely enthusiastic as you prepare your graduation party.

The ideas include decorations, costumes, games, favors and tips that will give your party those amazing extra touches.

Graduation Party - Decorations

The Graduation Party Decorations page has the best starter set up. Banners, balloons, graduate tributes, fun ideas, room by room decorations, decorating the graduate and guests, plus great extra tips are among the great ideas.

A party based on the graduate can also have lots of extra flourishes:

Graduation parties will always have the graduate‘s memorabilia on display. Why not add a table with each guests‘ treasured memorabilia of the graduate.

Guests can draw their impression of the graduate and add it to the display board. You might award a prize to the graduate‘s favorite.

Plants or flowers of different colors can be arranged to have the graduate‘s name.

Display the graduate‘s favorite books through each of their years.

Make bunting using the copies of the graduate‘s photographs.

Confetti with the graduate's photo on it is a great addition.

For Table decorations, use pictures of the graduate as a centrepiece! Of course there are lots of graduation style plates, cups, napkins and cutlery.

For all your decorations see the World's Largest Party Superstore.

Graduation Party Idea - Tributes

Fun Graduate tributes could be:

Put a tribute to the graduate safely on their pet. That could be on a dog coat, cat coat, on the fish tank or the bird cage.

Fly a Hot Air Balloon over the party with a huge graduate tribute on the side.

Have a plane fly over the party with a trailing graduate banner.

Take out an Ad in your local newspaper and display it at the party.

Have a tribute played on the radio.

If the graduate is at college and previously lived in your small community you can arrange for the town to be decorated. That could be just a poster of the graduate on the bus or on taxis.

Produce a magazine with all their achievements over the years and great photos, plus of course some funny stories.

Cover the graduate's car with congratulations messages using car chalk.

Graduation Party Idea - Costumes

A graduation party themed on the graduate does give amazingly creative ideas for costumes. You can ask guests and helpers to choose from:

The graduates favored attire. Perhaps everyone can copy their style! This is particularly great if the graduate has a unique style.

Guests can dress in the clothing of the graduate's chosen college, or even just the college's colors.

If the graduate has a hero it may be possible to copy their hero's clothing. The hero could be their sporting idol, for example.

The graduate's chosen career. For example a doctor, fireman, beautician or teacher.

If the graduate likes to holiday in Hawaii or any other distinctive destination you can choose themed costume based on that.

Simply wear stars to celebrate the star graduate.

Have the graduation year on some item of clothing including on t-shirts.

Simply wear clothing in school colors.

Sports gear, including the grad's favorite team colors, would be fun!

Any clothing can have the graduate's photo attached to it.

The party could be all about graduation. Guests could wear their own graduation hat and bring photos too.

Graduation Party Idea - Food

There are some fairly simple ways of arranging your graduation party food. Ideas on buffet, desserts, snacks and tips are included.

There are more ideas related to the graduate which can be added to the food you offer. That includes food from their favorite local providers.

Serve ice cream from their favorite ice cream store

Serve sandwiches from the best local sandwich store

Provide hot food from the best local burger, pizza or hot dog maker.

Similarly they may have a favorite soup, cakes, cupcakes or chocolate maker.

Have party bags, with the graduate's photo on them, ready to hand out at the end.

Graduation Party Idea - Ideas

There are lots of ideas that you can use sensibly to pay tribute to the graduate without going over the top.

Play the graduate's favorite music at the party

As early as you can start organising photos of the graduate. Include photos of them with friends and family. Also look out trophies, award certificates, videos and artwork. It is your own taste that will determine how far you go in displaying all the material.

Video everyone as they arrive, asking for comment on the graduate. Play the video later at the party.

Have a “This is Your Life” speech with a big red scrapbook. At various points you could introduce a friend or family member to join you and say a few words about the graduate.

A long lasting graduation idea is to have a song written for the graduate and played at the party.

A memorable idea is to have a poem written for the graduate and use it in your speech.

Another great party idea is to set out a t-shirt with the graduate's photo on it and ask guests to write comments on it.

Have an indulgent room with the graduate's favorite childhood toys ready to play with. Could be trains or Barbie, for example.

Create a party newsletter and video of the party. Record all the main events and contribution from guests. Issue a copy to guests or create a private website with all the details.

If the graduate loves to play pranks. Put polish on binoculars and ask guests to use them to try and see something in the distance.

The graduate could help welcome guests by making sure they speak to each one. They can thank them for any gifts too.
