Make Your Party Plan
You and your friends will be enjoying the buzz of grad season as it gets closer, and you and your parents will start to decide what kind of party you’d like to throw. Maybe you’d like a simple party that focuses on you, your personality, your accomplishment and plans. Work with your parents to put together the fun, personal ideas for decoration and displays of pictures, and think about what kind of snacks and treats you want to serve. As you think about these details, you might consider a theme to help you and your parents organize ideas.
Choose a Theme
Your graduation party is the last big moment in your high school experience. So, make it one to remember. Start by considering a theme, and other ways you can personalize your party to make it uniquely your own. Check out these theme ideas to help you get started.
Sports
Craft your party around your biggest high school sport. Put out sports-themed desserts like cake balls shaped like soccer or basketballs, bake football cookies, or hand out signed baseballs as party favors.
Activity
What was your favorite activity? For example, if you’re into photography, set out disposable cameras and set up your own DIY photobooth. Not only will you be expressing your personal interest, but you’ll capture extra special memories too.
School Spirit
Decorate your home and yard in your high school’s colors. Or, if you’re more future-facing, dress up the house in your future college’s colors instead.
Food-Forward
Often, a number of graduation parties will happen on the same day. If your friends will be celebrating the same day as you, take a quick poll to see what they’ll be serving. If some will have sandwiches and others hot food, consider having a treats-only party. Set up a self-serve frozen yogurt bar, serve ice cream and fruit, or other fun delectable bites you know everyone will love—without getting too tired of eating.
Party Favors
Leave out little gifts for your friends and family who come to your party. If you’re crafty (and have time) make little keepsakes like origami, handmade cards or some other small item that your partygoers can take with them. If pre-made favors are more your style, contact your local party supply store to find out what they offer. Candy with personalized wrappers, bubbles, miniature mint tins and personalized water bottles are all great examples. And don’t forget to leave out your Prestige Portraits wallet size pictures and status cards!
Remember Your Prestige Portraits
For your grad party, you can integrate a few prints of your grad portraits onto your signature board, or hang some small photos from decorative garlands. And don’t forget to set out your large framed print at the card and gift table for everyone to admire.
