Clipart Graduation Invitations

The simplest way to complete the wizard graduation party invitations is to use wizard clipart.

• Copy and Past the wizard 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 great title and added the party details in plain text underneath the graduation clip art.

Lots more detailed instructions on my clipart page.

Photo Wizard Party Invitations

Also, simply arrange a good quality wizard photograph. Photograph the graduates dressed in wizard costume, such as a wizards hat along with broom and wand, would be perfect. Also you could have a crystal ball, and a blue backdrop with yellow stars. Just set the scene for the airplane theme party.

Scan it onto your computer.

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

Then simply print onto your choice of paper.

Also a Harry Potter with a scene from the movie recreated with the graduate and party guests in place of the movie characters. Also a scene around a cauldron with a witch or wizard with a scary cat and owl. You could have a scene with the graduate and friends flying around on broomsticks. Finally you may have kindergarten kids at the party and you can have a friendly scene such as from the Disney Merlin movie.


• Put up movie posters and photos of the Harry Potter movies, Merlin and The Wizard of Oz.

• Bunting in the shape of wizard hats, bats and spiders.

For the Table you can use simple wizard colors. Have a blue or black tablecloth and decorate with yellow and white stars. As a centrepiece have a wizard's hat, perhaps along with a wand and mini broom. Make wizard's hat place mats, broom menus and wand place cards, and also have a photo of the graduate. You can easily put together napkins, plates and cutlery, perhaps in blue color.

Decorate your guests, this is a brilliant way to add to the wizard graduation party, and getting your guests in the graduation party mood!

2) Alternatively once the cake is frosted with black frosting, add a wand in black frosting or a broom in brown frosting.

Graduation Wizard Party - Games

A wizard party offers the chance to have fantastic games, like this Wizard Hat Pinatta.

• Give everyone construction paper. Each guest is to make their own paper wizards hat. Also give them paints, glitter and stickers.


• Scary box, put a bowl into each of say 4 boxes which have a hole just big enough for a hand on the side. In each bowl place an item for the guest to feel. The bowls can have spaghetti, a plum tomato, jell-o, and meatballs. The guest is told there are some creepy things in the boxes and they must idetify them by touch alone.


• Challenge room, set out a dark room with some glow bats, toy snakes, bats and spiders. The guests have to go through the dark room by touch alone. They must find say 4 wands on the way through. In the dark their senses will make a lot more of the toy snakes!


• Pin the hat on the wizard, first arrange a picture of a wizard, a hat and a blindfold. Spin the blindfold guests around and have them pin the hat on the wizard.


• Treasure Hunt, hide lots of wizard items around the venue. The task is to find as many as you can. If you can, make up clues and put them in a spellbook. You can do great things like printing clues backward onto a card and guests will need to hold it to a mirror to read it. Write a clue on white paper using a candle, to read it guests will need to go over the writing in felt pen. You could also give a numeric code with the key to translate it.


• For younger ones buy wizard party coloring in books and set up an area for them to play.


• Talent Spot, give each wizard say 2 weeks to perfect a magic trick which they must perform at the party.


• Decorate a cape. Give each guest a cape, stickers, pens, glitter and glue.


• Observation test - discretely display 6 to 10 pictures of well known magicians, or wizard hats with names on them, around the venue. Near the end ask guests to complete a sheet on what they observed. Ask for the people in the pictures and location of the pictures. Have prizes for those getting all answers correct.


• What Happened Next. Line up a series of videos with the most amazing and amusing moments in magic. The idea is to show guests the footage in the short period leading up to the amazing event. Then they guess what happened next. Lastly you run the video on showing them what happened. You should be able to get amazing incidents. Perhaps there is time to show 3 or 4 of these.


• Guess the Star, cover large photos of well known magicians almost completely except for say a distinguishing nose, their eyes or even a tattoo. Guests must guess who they are, and again prizes for getting them all right.


• Disguise a guest in a wizard costume. Video them performing a magic trick for 2 minutes. Show the video at the party. Guests must guess who they are. First to guess wins the prize.


• Ask guests to learn a magic trick beforehand and perform it at the party.


• Have a blindfold taste test. You could blindfold the guest and tell them just how scary the taste test . In reality they could be tasting different flavoured chocolate.

• Bobbing For Apples

  Set up a large pail filled with water and enough apples to cover the surface. Lay out plenty of towels. The guests using only their teeth must try and get an apple out of the pail.
  



• Stocks

  Set up old fashioned stocks with holes for the arms to 'lock' the unfortunate wizard party volunteers in. They should be seated. Then set up a line about 6 feet away and let the guests throw wet sponges at them.
