Need some creative ideas for a college or high school graduation party? Try out these party themes.
Graduation Day 2007 is right around the corner, and so are high school and college graduation parties. Are you looking for a unique idea to make your event special? Here are a few creative graduation day themes to help get you thinking!
- The Career Theme. What is your Class of 2007 graduate going to be doing for a living? Make this career choice into a party theme! For example, if your graduate wants to be a teacher, get a cake that looks like a blackboard that says "congratulations" in "chalk." Have the guests/students make graduation themed art projects out of paper, glue, and glitter. Give school supplies as party favors and prizes. Use your imagination!
- The Retro Childhood Party. Graduation is a celebration of growing up and moving on. So why not make a party nostalgic of the graduate's childhood? Play games the graduate played at parties as a child, like bobbing for apples. Get a "graduation" pinata. Decorate the house with favorite childhood toys, and be sure to serve retro childhood food favorites. Or go all out and have the party at Chuck E. Cheese or someplace similar.
- The School Pride Party. Decorate the house with high school or school colors. Get a school themed cake, banners to decorate the walls, and school themed favors. This isn't the most creative idea, but is fun and not too hard to pull off.
- The Toga Party. Have fun with a campy college party stereotype!
- School Memories. Do something so that fellow students can sign in and leave a memory. Make a big sign-in board and have students write down something to remember. Give students a "final exam" with trivia question from their high school or college experience. . Or have students create a time capsule. You can incorporate these kinds of ideas into any graduation party.
- The Dance Party. Always a crowd pleaser, whether you do it in your family room or at an upscale hall with a DJ. You can always give your dance party a theme to match the graduate's tastes, such as a 1970s or 1980s party. Here are some graduations songs to include in your dance mix.
- The Grease Party. What better way to celebrate high school graduation than with a round of "We Go Together?" Guests can dress up in poodle skirts and leather jackets. Serve retro 1950s soda fountain fare-- burgers, fries, milkshakes. For music, you can go with 1950s classics or simply play the Grease soundtrack.
