Graduation parties mark a momentous time in someone’s life.  Celebrate this next step in life with these must-have grad party additions.

360 Photo Booth

One of the most popular event ideas on the market is a 360 photo booth. With the 360 photo booth, a camera spins around a standing platform to create a video that can be sent to any digital device like a phone or laptop. This modern day approach not only removes the need for physical photocopies, it makes the experience more interactive. This entertainment option also doubles as a favor, so no need to spend extra on those. 

Food Bars

Serving food is customary for most celebrations but how you display it can enhance the experience for guests. A concept that is both versatile and fun is a food bar. Party goers are given the basics of a simple dish such as tacos or burgers and are able to add their own fixings on top. Food bars are not limited to one dish or meal course; they can be done with entrees, desserts, brunch and even drinks. Bars are the new buffet.

Personalized Decorations And Party Favors

Is it really your party if you don’t add personalized touches? Simple ways to make your party all about the grad is to decorate the space with school pictures, accomplishments or next steps (i.e. college acceptance letters or info about a new job).  If you want to take it even further you can create labels for your party favors like adding your name or picture to water bottles and chip bags. They have dual purpose as guests can use them at the party (we love a green party!), and they can be taken home as party favors.

Leave A Note

One of the best gifts anyone can receive after graduating is advice they can use for the future. After high school and college, graduates are embarking on a new journey, giving them guidance on how to navigate their next steps are a meaningful part of the celebration. A great way to incorporate this into your party is to create a display for guests to write a piece of advice to the graduate for them to read and keep with them forever.
