Backyard Graduation Party
Backyard parties are always enjoyable, especially when everyone comes together for graduation. Think chalkboard welcome signs, foam finger floral arrangements, a Mexican pan dulce bar and succulent cakes.
Pair these tags with any of your beverages —apple cider included. The tags come in six designs with two different phrases: “Sip, Sip, Hooray!” and “Cheers, Grad!”
5
Graduation Cap Lanterns
These festive paper graduation cap lanterns are easy to hang from the ceiling. They’re the perfect piece of party decor to get your home ready for the big day.
6
Graduation Money Wreath
7
Crispy Mushroom and Muenster Sliders
Pass out these cones to guests as they walk in the door and then have them shower the grad with confetti whenever they see them. A sprinkle of love, wouldn’t ya say?
9
Lemon Mascarpone Parfaits
10
Lemon Cupcakes With Strawberry Frosting
Print these celebratory quotes, then frame them to hang or display on the table. Quotes include “Go Be Amazing” and “The Tassel Was Worth the Hassle.”
14
Dulce De Leche Sandwich Cookies
Don’t forget to dress up your pup for the special day. Your dog can be the mascot — motivating guests as they walk in.
16
Matted Graduation Keepsake Announcement
One of the best parts of hosting a graduation party is that you can go all out with displaying graduation photos. Try this announcement to use as table decor. Feel free to print one or multiple pictures to feature throughout your space.
17
Graduation Table Centerpiece
These table centerpieces come in six eye-catching colors, including blue, green and maroon. They’re printed on both sides and have a handy stand to place them anywhere you’d like.
If you’re searching for unique decorative themes for the party, try going for a colorful yet vintage look. Gather an array of galvanized materials to make paper accordion fans and garlands.
19
Graduation Photo Booth Props
Whether or not you include a photo booth at the event, purchase these Class of 2022 props for guests to use as a backdrop for their Instagram and TikTok posts. The pack comes with 50 custom-made pieces and can be placed in mason jars as fun table decorations.
20
Personalized Photo Door Banner
Personalize this door photo banner with any graduate’s name, school name and graduation year. Choose from 15 design colors and upload any photo to go with your desired background and accent color (make sure it’s grad-approved).
21
So Proud of You Grad Balloon Boxes
While you can always have your balloons freely spaced out within your space, try storing them in these “Grad So Proud of You” boxes. They’re sturdy, reusable and can hold other small decor items you’d want to display.
22
“One Degree Hotter” Graduation Shirts
23
Who Knows Grad Best Game
With this fun game, guests will fill in blank prompts and multiple choice questions about the graduate. This will challenge how much they know the honoree, with questions ranging from the graduate’s favorite color and dream vacation to their favorite dessert and song.
Get everyone in a celebratory mood with these DIY party hats. The iridescent and holographic style features gold tinsel for an extra festive feel.
Instead of sprinkling regular confetti throughout the venue, DIY small graduation caps to scatter throughout the space. Make different sizes, stick them to your walls and trickle them across the tables to complete the picture-perfect look.
During the party, invite your guests slip their graduation cards into this box. Hand out your own cards for them to write any life advice your grad can look back on and cherish for years to come.
27
She’s One Smart Cookie Spread
Celebrate your smarts with a table full of sweets — peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles. Pour a few gallons of milk into glass jars, so guests can wash down their treats.
Don’t let any of your party guests settle for warm wine. The night before, pour wine into ice cube trays and stick it in the freezer. That way, their wine of choice — red, white or rosé — can stay at the perfect temperature while they celebrate.
29
Peanut Butter Cup Push Pop
Throw it back to childhood — remember Nestle’s Push-Up Pops? — with these treats, layered with peanut butter buttercream and chocolate cake. Top it with a chocolate grad cap, complete with a sugary-sweet tassel.
30
Graduation Candy Buffet
31
Messages and Memories Boards
Hang bulletin boards in plain sight to give guests a chance to write down their favorite memories with the grad, along with a few pearls of advice for their next chapter.
32
No-Bake Diploma Cookies
Pull together your dessert table in seconds with this no-bake treat: Just wrap a ribbon around a pirouette cookie to look like the diploma your grad just received.
33
Cotton Candy Graduation Party Favor
Send your party guests off with something sweet: Fill plastic cups with cotton candy (see if you can find one in the color of their school) and dress it up to look like a mini graduate.
34
Rose Gold Graduation Backdrop
It’s not a party unless there’s a photo backdrop. This rose gold option, complete with fringe, balloons and a star garland, is totally Insta-worthy.
See how big you’ve become — and also how many different hairstyles and awkward smiles there have been along the way — with a photo banner that shows class pictures going all the way back to kindergarten.
36
Origami Money Graduation Caps
Perfect for parties the day after graduation, this easy-to-make board will give recent grads everything they need to fuel up for their weekend i.e. carbs. Or if they prefer, fill it with donuts and other sweet pastries.
Balloons are the ultimate decoration: Simply, scatter 20 or 40 of these gold beauties in your space to show everyone where the party’s at.
39
Graduation Photo Wreath
Take a trip back to your first day of school (or even, the day you were born!) with this clever photo wreath. It’ll finally give you something to do with all of those school photos you’ve been holding on to.

It may go without saying that you are proud of the grad, but this banner will really drive the point home.
43
Graduation Cake Topper
Congrats, your hard work (read: baking a cake from scratch) has earned a cake topper as special as this!
Okay, so it might not be a “real” class ring, but we bet your grad will love the Ring Pop version nonetheless.
