Whether graduating from pre-school, kindergarten, middle school, high school or college, a graduation party is in order. Graduating is a big achievement regardless of the level. Family and friends will love to celebrate with your graduate, so let's get started with some graduation party ideas.
Graduation Time!
This time of year, every time I check my mailbox I get another graduation announcement. Between friends and family, I definitely keep busy during May and June with all the graduations.
At this point, my kids have graduated from everything except college -- and that's coming soon enough. Graduation parties are one of my favorites. It's a time to let the student shine, show accomplishments and revel in the attention for their success.
A few years ago, I noticed there were hardly any lenses about hosting graduation parties. So, I wrote a lens sharing my experiences with the grad parties I have hosted and helped plan. It was and still is a popular reference for parents of graduates.
Today, I started looking around and realized there are a lot more lenses dealing with graduation parties. I decided to visit and maybe get a few new ideas I can pass along to friends and family.

We still have a few more graduations to celebrate in our household. Because of the age difference in our children, we had a few years there where it seemed like we were having a graduation party every year between high school, undergrad, master's degrees and now we await the doctoral walk. Each milestone and accomplishment has been worthy of great celebration and there are few things I enjoy more than planning and hosting a party in honor of my children. I have no doubt I will find lots of new and great suggestions in the articles you have featured to help me plan that next huge celebration.
ReplyDeleteThanks MM! Yes, I am with you! Each time I helped or hosted with a graduation party, I got new ideas. My niece graduated from Ball State a couple of weeks ago and I have lots of friends with kids graduating everything this month and the 1st of June. Thanks for reading!
DeleteThankfully, no graduating youngsters in my house anymore, haha! Seriously, graduation a great accomplishment, showing stick-to-it-ive-ness and I graduates do deserve a party for the event.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe how long it's been since my boys graduated (am I that old?). Graduation is always a wonderful reason to host a party and you always have great ideas, Mandee! Congrats to all the grads out there!
ReplyDeleteGraduation celebrations are so joyous. The neighbor boy that is like a son to me is graduating from high school this month. I can't wait to honor him. We still have plenty of college graduations coming up in our family. I look forward to applying what I learn from all of the links and great resources you are sharing here. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to my graduation decorations. It's greatly appreciated. I just got done with a round of graduation parties around here, but didn't take any photos AT the parties. I was the official photographer for the graduation ceremony and had just shot over 600 images, so me and my camera were a bit burned out.
ReplyDeleteI'll be adding to the topic this year as my step son is a new senior this year. He's our last then it's the track to grandkids and retirement.
wow
