BEST GRAD PARTY IDEAS:
1. Smart Cookie Bar
This is by far one of the most popular graduation party trends that I see all over Pinterest… and for good reason. It’s really so cute!!
I’m probably going to do this at my own college grad party, honestly!
2. Graduation Year Cupcake Bar
Arranging desserts in the shape of the year is one of the simplest grad party decoration ideas and a great way to highlight the celebration!
3. Advice Jar
I always love ideas that have a practical side as well. Obsessed with this advice jar idea!
4. Personalized Centerpieces
These small DIY centerpieces are one of the easiest ideas for grad party decorations. All you need is a jar, pictures of the graduate and their favorite flowers, and paper to make a cut-out of the year.
Seriously so simple, but such a nice touch!!
5. Diploma Cookies
I don’t think these even need explaining. Hands down one of my favorite grad party food ideas!
6. Photo booth wall
One of the most trendy graduation party ideas is having some sort of photo backdrop on the wall. This one looks extravagant but is actually super easy to recreate!
7. College Memories Polaroid Tree
If your grad party is happening outside, print out some photos of your favorite college memories and wrap them around a tree.
This is such an easy idea, but guests (and the graduate!) will love looking through them!
8. Use Your Degree as a Theme
There are all kinds of creative graduation party decorations you can come up with when you stick to a theme.
If you (or the graduate this party is for) had a specific major like nursing, teaching, English, engineering…. or really ANYTHING else, you can totally find ways to use that as a theme!
9. Candy Bar With Cheeky Sign
This sign would be so easy to make and pair with some candy!
10. Key to Success Wall
I saw this key idea on Pinterest and I am OBSESSED.
This is one of those grad party ideas that is both cute decor AND a practical takeaway… and I am so here for it!
11. Garage Decor + Photo Backdrop
If you’re doing a party outdoors but still want a cute photo wall, opting for some decor on your garage door is a great way to still get that picture-perfect backdrop!
12. Cute Cake Topper
Cute cake toppers are so easy to either make or buy, and are really just such a nice touch!!
13. Chic Brunch Picnic
If you don’t really want a full-on party, having an elegant brunch like this to celebrate is the perfect option. This can easily be done in a backyard or a park!
14. Punny Grad Snacks
Okay, super cheesy… But also really simple, so you can’t go wrong with this!!
15. Commence-mint Party Favors
Another cheesy one but honestly, these types of parties have to be!!
Putting together these little party favors are such a nice touch, especially if you love a good pun!
