3. Linens With School Spirit

Linens are the easiest way to show your school spirit representing your high school or your future college plans! Work together with your planner to come up with a creative layout for guest tables, food tables, gift tables, memory tables, and high tops. Then decide which colors to use where to make the space resemble your vision!

4. Memory Board

Using a pallet wall or a trifold, hang up pictures from the graduate’s first trip around the sun to their last day as a high school senior. Friends and family will be able to reminisce about good times and become more excited for the great times to come. Your senior will see how far they have come and you can have fun creating it together!

5. Concessions

Choose from a variety of sweet treats like cotton candy, popcorn, slushies, and snow cones. Your guests will definitely come back for more from the snack table. It's a low maintenance choice if you don't want to cook a full meal or are hosting an open house party. Renting these concessionary items is a low cost option that will keep kids and adults happy!

6. Balloon Arch

Balloon arches are a beautiful and fun way to decorate any party. Use them for photos, over an entrance way, over the food table, or around the memory wall. Your friends and family will be complimenting you on the decor all day long! You can stick to the school colors, rainbow, or anything else that fits your theme.

7. Centerpieces

Centerpieces are what people mainly notice when they sit down to eat or chat with family. Using photos and bright colors is a great way for guests to strike up conversation and talk about memories.


Flowers and 2022 signs are also nice ways to bring the theme to the table and tie everything together. Put a jar on every table with paper and pens. Guests can write advice for the graduate to keep.

8. Signs

Signs are good decorations for graduation parties. They can be used to guide guests or label snacks on the food table.


Having a sign with a quote can be useful for showing a theme. For example, if your party has a Friends theme, you can have a sign that says, "The one where they graduate." Your guests would definitely want to pose with this sign and have fun with their friends.
