CELEBRATIONS: Creative Graduation Ideas

Do you have a graduate in your house this year? I do. I can’t believe it but my spirited little guy is graduating from high school. I’m not sure if we’re throwing a party or not. We might just go low key with a small gathering but I’ve been checking out all kinds of graduation inspiration and thought I’d share some of the fun things I found.




Yes, I have a boy but this gorgeous pink graduation party by Endlessly Inspired could be adapted to any color. Tons of pretty details to consider.
I know… confetti. You have to clean it up the next day but ooooh, it’s so fun and nothing says celebration like a bunch of confetti. These tubes and graduation caps area easy to make and would add colorful fun to a party.
I love these covered books and vintage key by Celebrations. Imagine having little groupings of books here and there for a Key to Knowledge theme.
Pear Tree Greetings created this dreamy theme with colorful tissue paper pompoms that make a big splash and fantastic floating hoop photos.
One of my favorite ideas for a graduation theme is Oh The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss. This party by Kara’s Party Ideas uses the theme but switches to more grown up colors instead of the original pastel palette. Love that world map cake!
Sand and Sisal created a breezy teal colored theme for her daughter’s graduation. Everything looks so cool and refreshing including these graduation cap drink bottles.
For an outdoor party, this vintage rustic party would be perfect. Use dishes, tablecloths and items on hand to pull off this look by Hostess with the Mostess.
Celebrations at Home used a Keys to Success theme for this party. Amazing details including this personal message station.
Cookie Diplomas by Frog Prince Paperie would be perfect for any theme you choose. I think these are a must for my graduation party checklist.
No Biggie created a Bright Future graduation party using light bulbs as a theme. Love the light bulb balloons and that vintage typewriter is the perfect touch.
I came across the lovely necklace in an Etsy shop. I have some girl graduation gifts to get and I may get this pretty compass necklace.
These clay gift tags by 645 Workshop could also work as party décor or party favors. The sky is the limit with what words or personalization you could add.

If you’re planning a graduation event, I hope you found some inspiration in these ideas I rounded up.

Thanks for visiting my little corner of the creative world.
