At a graduation party, it is all about the graduate and his accomplishments.
How to make a graduation party special.
The simplest party of a graduation party is the color scheme. High school graduation parties tend to either feature the high school colors or the future college’s colors. It comes down to personal preferences.
From serveware to decor, it is easy to find many colorful options. Even just a few tablecloths can set the scene.
Building on the color and theme, consider a special item that is a food to serve and a gift to take home. For example, M&M’s personalized candies are a great option.
M&M’s candies can be personalized in many ways. From a special phrase to even or logo or photo, the classic candy is a great conversation piece.
From bowls on tables to individual packages as gifts, they add an extra touch to event. Plus, it is unique for that special occasion.
While the M&M’S make a sweet statement, a special themed beverage is also a great idea. Creating a mocktail, which can be altered for adults who prefer a spirited version, is a smart idea.
For example, anyone going to University of Florida could make a Gator Chomp, a citrus forward, vibrant mocktail with a blueberry purée base to mimic Gator colors. Given the plethora or recipes, there are plenty of ways to transform a favorite beverage into the graduation party theme.
Lastly, desserts are a sweet way to capture the graduation party theme. Instead of just another decorated cake, think about where the school is located for some flavor or food inspiration. Whether it is a Wisconsin cream puff or New York Cheesecake, there are many obvious choices.
Also, consider going a little out of the box, too. Goldbelly has tons of options for specialty foods that can be shipped nationwide. As many people appreciate, that special bite of food can have all those memories come flooding back.
