\"Baccalaureate<\/a>While the graduation ceremony itself is the official way to recognize a student’s accomplishment, there’s usually not space for all of the student’s friends and family to attend. That’s why so many families host a graduation party afterwards to celebrate together and give guests a chance to interact with the graduate, not just watch him walk across a stage. Incorporate some of these creative ideas into your graduation party<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Use the School Colors:<\/strong> Anybody can throw a generic graduation party full of black mortarboards and gold diploma scrolls, but you can personalize yours by using the school colors in the theme and decorations. Choose graduation party invitations<\/a> with the school’s colors in the border, decorate with streamers and balloons, and even incorporate the school mascot if you can.<\/p>\n

Set up a Photo Booth:<\/strong> Rather than creating a display with memorabilia from the \"Key<\/a>student’s educational career, encourage guests to use the items as props in a photo booth. Create an area at the party with a camera or laptop set up to take pictures and let guests pose with old sports jerseys, textbooks, backpacks, and trophies.<\/p>\n

Make Graduation Cap Treats:<\/strong> You’ll need plenty of finger food at the party, and one creative type is designed to look like a graduation cap. Make miniature ones with small peanut butter cups turned upside down topped with a chocolate square and fruit roll up tassel, or larger ones out of an upside down cupcake with a graham cracker on top and frosting tassel.<\/p>\n

The graduation party should be a fun event, with lots of laughter and reminiscing about the student’s time in school. Start planning well in advance, and use PaperDirect to create custom graduation party invitations<\/a> and graduation announcements to spread the word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
