Congrats to all the grads or soon-to-be high school graduates. I cannot tell you how happy I was when I graduated high school a couple of years ago. It was literally the best day of my life, haha! But then I started to miss going to school and hearing the bell ring and everything else, including the homework.
Now that I’m in college, I certainly do not miss the homework because it’s three times or maybe even more than it was in high school. I think school is just one of those things where you hate going because you have to go but once you don’t anymore, you do want to go, lol. It’s all very confusing.
Anyway, no matter whether you’re happy or sad, reaching this huge milestone is one that deserves to be celebrated, typically with an epic party that no one will soon forget. I’m talking giant balloons, lots of great food, fun activities, and cute decor.
If you have no idea where to start, do not worry because this post will show you the most trendy and memorable high school graduation party ideas that your guests won’t be able to stop talking about. From fun guest book ideas, photo backdrop ideas, to decorations and delicious food options that will guarantee your party be a hit!
Before we begin, the very first thing you’ll want to do is send out invitations. I’ve linked a few below that I think are great.
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION PARTY IDEAS
1. PICTURE GUESTBOOK
This is such a creative guestbook idea! Instead of having everyone write down just their name, have them take a quick pic and paste it on the guestbook.
They can also write a little motivational note or some much-needed advice.
2. BUILDING MEMORIES
Take it from me, you’ll be needing all the free advice you can get, especially if you’re gonna head off to college soon.
Ask your friends and families to write down some advice about college, studies, socializing, or just life in general. They can also write down some wonderful memories of you guys together.
These are great for those days when you’re feeling down and need a little help cheering up. The advice and memories will do wonders helping you feel better.
3. GRADUATION AWARDS DISPLAY
What better time to show off all of your accolades than your graduation? Gather up all of your honor roll certificates, trophies, and medals you’ve received throughout the years and display them on a wooden box.
4. SHIRLEY TEMPLE STATION
Who doesn’t love a nice cool glass of Shirley Temple? These are great if you’re having your graduation party outdoors. Make sure there are plenty of plastic cups, ice, straws, sprite, and grenadine syrup.
5. FLOWER BAR
Every party needs a fun activity to entertain the guests and flower bars are a great way to do that. Create a little station with lots of different vases and flowers. A few to include are roses, baby’s breath, and lilies.
The guests can make their own little bouquets and also glam up the vases as well using Sharpies, glitter pens, and rhinestones.
6. WELCOME SIGN
No matter where you’re holding your graduation party, you need a welcome sign. Guests may not know which house is yours so the sign will help them to the correct place.
Simply get a chalkboard stand from Amazon and write down ” Welcome to (graduate’s name) grad party”. Add a couple of balloons to make it look extra pretty.
7. GRADUATION CANDY BUFFET
This is such a fun way to offer candy and sweets at your party. Get some containers and fill them up with candies like Smarties, gummy worms, tootsie rolls, and starbursts.
Write down a clever saying or quote that correlates with the type of candy that is inside the container. If you’d like the printables above, you can download them here.
8. GRADUATION CAP CARD HOLDER
It’s a graduation party, so chances are you’ll receive lots of congratulatory cards. Make sure you don’t accidentally lose any and recreate this DIY grad cap card holder.
You’ll need a medium-sized cardboard box and a larger square-shaped cardstock for the top. Simply remove the flaps and glue down the cardstock.
Make a little slit on top for the cards and complete with a tassel on the side.
9. SHOWCASE YOUR GOWN
If you are allowed to keep your graduation gown, why not showcase it? Let everyone know you’ve reached a huge milestone and display your cap and gown along with other awards as well.
10. GRAD PARTY TABLE
Every graduation party needs a grad party table. You can use this to display cute pictures of the grad, showcase awards, use it as a guestbook table, or for incorporating extra decor.
