Savoring this special and exciting time with your soon-to-be
graduate by hosting a graduation party can be exciting for
you both. Check out this tablescape for inspiration and use the
tips below to help you pull off
your own memorable
graduation party.
1 Choose a laidback venue
like your home, a casual
restaurant, or a spot like the
Hampstead Club Room.
2 Create fun place settings
by adding personal touches!
You don’t have to go all out
with formal china; just swing
by Target and pick up colorful
plates like these. As a bonus,
give them to your graduate for
their new apartment or dorm
after the party.

3 Have fun with it! These
two floral centerpieces were
made by placing a dowel in each
and creating bunting to attach
photos. Include pictures of
your graduate, funny moments
or sayings. Everyone will love
reminiscing about these, and
they are great gifts for guests.

4 Partner with other parents
to put on an exciting and fun
time that you can all enjoy.
