Graduation season has arrived. Here are some ideas for creating such a special day. Set the time and date. Plan your party budget. If budget is a concern, why not double graduate with your friends?
Choose a theme. It can be as simple as your school colors or as detailed as your college major. Why don’t you make a mocktail party for your high school graduation ceremony where alcohol is a concern? Ingredients can be purchased at your local grocery store.
Looking for graduation centerpiece ideas? Place a hat in the center of each table and place a flower arrangement on top. Secure the hat for the weight of the arrangement. You can purchase flowers at your local grocery store or use a professional florist to create your own floral creations.

Another easy centerpiece idea is to make a copy of your diploma. Tie the diploma with a school-colored ribbon and place it on the guest table.
Oh, and don’t forget you’ll need a card box. Simply find a box, wrap it up, and cut a slit in the center to create your own personalized card holder.

Finally, take the hassle out of your party with the help of party servers and more. Party servers help serve meals, maintain the buffet, and clean up everything.
Now choose a theme and of course have fun!
