Congratulations to all the 2025 graduates! You’ve finally done it! You are now one step closer to the life you’ve always wanted. After all the homework, extra circular activities, and studying you had to do, you will finally have that diploma in your hand.
Most students like to decorate their graduation caps to commemorate their special day. I suggest you check with your school first to see if you are allowed to keep them before putting designs on them. Many students like to create funny graduation caps, some have very meaningful designs, and others have designs that correlate with their favorite TV shows.
Speaking of TV shows, if you are either a Friends fan or a New Girl fan, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve gathered 21 insanely cute and easy graduation cap ideas you will absolutely love. From Phoebe’s iconic “plah” line to Nick Miller’s hilarious dialogues, there is something here for everyone.
I will say though, it was quite difficult trying to find these grad cap designs. I could only find a few for each TV show. Since so many people rave about these Sitcoms, I figured there would be more. But nonetheless, they are super cute and you can add things to it to make it your own. Now, let’s get started!

GRADUATION CAP IDEAS
1. I’M NOT CONVINCED I LEARNED…
This is honestly so hilarious. Nick Miller is just too funny and adorable not to incorporate onto your graduation cap. And this quote is absolutely perfect and will guarantee some laughs.
2. I LIKE GETTING OLDER…
Here is another Nick Miller quote that you can’t help but love. I mean what he’s saying is true. The older you get, the better your personality becomes, at least in my opinion.
3. SERIOUSLY, ARE YOU SE…
You cannot have a New Girl-themed graduation cap without the most hilarious character. Schmitt is just way too funny and has some of the most hilarious lines on the show.
4. CAN WE TAKE A MOMENT TO CELEBRATE ME
This quote is perfect for your grad cap. You should take a moment and celebrate yourself and all of your achievements. Plus, if you watched the episode where Schmitt says this, it’s even more hilarious.
5. IT’S THE DO DATE…
Nick Miller is too relatable when he says this. How many of you wait until the due date to complete an assignment? I’m guessing it’s at least 90% of you guys (including myself).
6. OFFICIALLY UNEMPLOYED
If you are looking for something cute and simple, this is the one for you. This quote is again spoken by the very loved Nick Miller. I love the flowers on the perimeter of the cap.
7. TURTLE FACE
How insanely cute is this? I swear Nick has the most hilarious facial expressions! Print out a picture of Nick and write down ” You’re the only turtle I want”. Or something else you like.
8. IT’S THE END OF AN ERA
Who remembers this episode? Monica is moving in with Chandler and is upset that Rachel isn’t sad so she says “it’s the end of an era”. The whole scene was hilarious and the quote certainly applies here as well.
9. THE ONE WHERE MONICA GRADUATES
We all know Friends episodes start with “the one where” or “the one with”. After you write that down on the grad cap, write down your name as well. For the “season” and “episode”, you can write down your graduating year.
10. I HAVEN’T SLEPT IN 4 YEARS
Four years is definitely a long time to not be getting any sleep. You’re up studying and doing homework and all of this other stuff, you can barely get enough sleep. Recreate this grad cap and watch the compliments roll in.
11. COULD I BE MORE GRADUATED
Put an emphasis on the world “be” just like Chandler and let everyone know you are officially a High School graduate!
12. I’M FINE
I know not everyone was a fan of Season 10 of Friends but you gotta admit, this is probably the funniest episode on the entire show. Where Ross is saying he’s “fine” and it’s coming out all squeaky. It was absolutely hilarious!
13. I DON’T EVEN HAVE A PLA-
Some people know exactly what they are doing after college and some people “don’t even have a pla-“. If you are one of those people or just want something funny on your grad cap, you need to try this out.
14. OH MY GAWD
You may not like Janice but you have to admit, her pronunciation of the words oh my god is going to be forever iconic. I can literally hear her voice in my head just thinking about it, haha!
15. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD
This quote said by Monica could not be any more true. As children, we look forward to the day we are adults but it is not as great as it is hyped up to be. Just like Monica said, it sucks!
16. GET ONE OF THOSE JOB THINGIES
Here is another super cute graduation cap idea. I love the glitter background and the beautiful butterflies. Side note: Rachel looks so pretty here!
17. I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU
One way to make your graduation cap unique is by adding your major to the top. For example, if you are majoring in finance, you can include that on the top.
18. THE ONE WHERE I GRADUATE
If you are looking for something super easy to recreate, this is the one for you. Just write “the one where I graduate” on the cap after you added the design of Monica’s door.
19. JOB THINGS…
if you didn’t like the one with the glitter paper and butterflies, then maybe this one is more your style.
20. CHANDLER BING GRAD CAP
For all the chandler fans out there, you need to recreate this graduation cap design. Make sure you also print out a hilarious picture of him after your write down the quote.
21. THE ONE WHERE WE…
Last but definitely not least, we have this amazing graduation cap that is perfect for besties. Print out a picture of the two of you and add that to the top. Then write down ” the one where we graduate” to complete the look.
