1. Cute Centerpieces

Centerpieces are a great grad party decoration! I really like this sunflower one that I found on Pinterest.

You can do this with any flowers though! I put some other examples in my Pinterest board, which you can follow at the top of this post.

Want to recreate this? Here are some of the supplies you will need! You will also need some pretty flowers and pictures of the graduate.

2. Photo Booth

Photo Booths are so much fun at graduation parties! My friends all had super cute photo booths which were great because we were able to take really cute pictures together.

If you are going to college in the fall these pictures will also be adorable in your dorm room.

I put two photo booth ideas in the pictures above. Want to recreate these?

Photo Booth #1: All you will need is a piece of white poster board, a black sharpie, and some cute graduation stickers.

Photo Booth #2: You will actually need to incorporate your furniture into this scene. All you need is a giant backdrop, a couch, and a light.

I think both of these photo booth ideas are super cute and creative!

3. Photo Booth Props

A good photo booth always comes with cute props to pose with. Here are some super cute graduation photo props!

4. Invitations

I think this invitation idea is so creative! There are a ton of other ideas on Pinterest as well if you are looking for more inspiration.

5. Food and Dessert Buffet

My favorite thing at all of the graduation parties I went to was the food! I think these buffet-style food ideas look delicious.

6. Memory Grad Hat Jar

One of my friends had a similar version of this graduation cap box at her graduation party. She had all of her guests write little notes to her and stick them inside. It was super cute and a really good idea.

Want to recreate this? All you need is:

Directions:

Cut the flaps off of the box
Paint or cover the box in paper (Use whatever color you want. Maybe your high school colors or colleges)
Cut a bigger square than the box out of the same color paper or cardboard sheets, cut a slit in the middle
Tape/glue the square to the top of the box
Detach the tassel from the adult grad cap and glue it to the square top of the box.

Now you have a super cute graduation cap box! 🙂

7. Photo Album

I think having a photo album and a camera at your graduation party is such a cute idea! A lot of my friends had photo albums with polaroid cameras. The best part is, it is super easy to put this together.

Want to recreate this? All you need is:

I have a Fujifilm mini Polaroid camera (just like the one in the picture) and it works amazing! It is expensive but so worth it. I promise you will have so much fun using it to take pictures with your friends.

8. Who Know’s The Grad Best Game

I think this is such a cute game idea. My friends and I played this game at my friend’s grad party and we had so much fun!

9. Photo Decor

All of these photo decorations are adorable and super easy to recreate!

Want to recreate this? All you need are clothes pins, twine and photos!

Want to recreate this? All you need is a white poster board, sting, mini clothespins, and black paper to cut out the title.

10. Streamers

I love streamers and think they are really fun at party’s! Amazon has a ton of colors for super cheap!

11. Class of 2020 Rings

I love ring pops and think this would be adorable at your grad party! Most importantly this is super easy to recreate. All you need are ring pops, a bowl, and a cute little sign.

13. College Bound Sign

I love this decoration because it shows off your college! It is also a super easy and cute decoration.

I recommend printing the letters out on card stock paper instead of writing them. Printing the letters will be much easier and make the sign look more professional.

18. Games
