Matriculate, Then Celebrate!
The academic year is winding down, and schools across the country will be sending their seniors out into the real world. If you have a graduate, it’s time to celebrate! Follow these handy tips to show your grad how proud you are.
Picture day
Custom graduation backdrops are the hot new trend, giving friends and family a sense of red carpet occasion as they pose for pics with the honored grad. For a high-quality custom backdrop, Sign Art has you covered! You can add any kind of design you like with the graduate’s name, date or something more unique. Whatever you come up with, our team will help you get it done.
Catering versus home cooking
When it comes to preparing the food, your mileage may vary. It really depends on how many guests you have coming and how much time you have to prepare. If this is a midday party, a simple cold cuts spread should be fine, letting guests make their own sandwiches while they chat. If you want to go more upscale and wow the crowds, or if you know you’re not going to have time to prepare food, look into local caterers.
Spoil your graduate with sweets
Seventeen featured a cute snack idea: fill an empty cookie jar with Ring Pops and label the jar “Class Rings”. A congratulatory cake is customary. If you’re not a baker, find a local bakery that can provide a cake with a message for the graduate. Either way, just make sure the cake doesn’t end up on this list of graduation cake fails from Buzzfeed.
Decorations
Etsy has a great selection for graduation party decor. If your graduate is heading off to college, grad school or starting work, you may want to incorporate those into a theme.
