Now we will share with you some top ideas and tips for decorating your unique graduation party!
1. Entrance Signs
Custom wooden plaques with the name of the graduates’ party at the entrance will tell your guests that something great is about to happen! Decorate your entrance sign with colorful balloons to make it look festive.
2. Balloons
- use huge 36″ helium balloons or confetti balloons and fix them at different heights: this installation looks quite impressive and is perfect for creating Instagram-worthy photos;
- decorate huge balloons with DIY paper graduation caps;
- use helium balloons to display graduation photos and hold little gifts for guests;
- order number balloons to display the year of graduation — the composition will serve as an eye-catching photo backdrop;
- make a balloon garland using a school color theme;
- create “happy” money-filled opaque balloons to congratulate your graduate!
3. Garland with Graduation Cap Tassels
Tassels are strongly associated with graduation: use them to decorate your garland, made from paper or fabric, and then hang it on the wall or over the snacks bar!
4. Photo Backdrop
- add fabric curtains to your backdrop;
- use large balloons with numbers;
- make a huge chalkboard with a beautiful frame (don’t forget to write something funny on it);
- create a Polaroid-like photo booth (use a wooden frame painted in white for your photo wall (do you still remember how the Polaroid photos look like?).
5. Trophy Wall
Every graduate has something to be proud of!
Create a panel (preferably made of wood with a nice frame), and attach certificates and prizes, school newspaper clippings, school sports team ball, or T-shirts to it.
6. Keys To Success Board
Graduation is the beginning of a new path to future achievements, so:
- buy a dozen of beautiful antique keys (you can easily find them at a flea market);

- attach a tiny cardboard card with the guest’s name and a wish to each key;
- fix the keys on your success board and hang them on the wall in a prominent place.
7. Photo Timeline
Here are some interesting ideas to choose from:
- custom graduation photos banner;
- string with the photos pinned to it (add some streamers, balloons, or flowers to make it look more festive);
- DIY photo bouquets and table centerpieces (glue photos to long skewers and stick them into vases with the flower bouquets);
- huge graduation memory photo board (pick up the most interesting photos, make big letters from paper-mâché and attach photos to letters).
