A movie theme or "This Is Your Life" party are good for graduates.
Graduating from any kind of school is an achievement, whether it is from high school, college or otherwise. Students spend countless hours fulfilling the requirements necessary for their diploma. When the goal is reached, they deserve a celebration that adequately reflects the momentous occasion. Rather than just putting out a few bowls of chips and turning on the stereo, consider a fun graduation theme.
"The Graduate"
The movie "The Graduate" is a classic representation of the angst experienced by young adults as they enter the real world. Structuring a party around a similar theme provides many options for guests to wear fun costumes. They can arrive dressed in retro suits from the '60s or in swimsuits with flippers from the famous movie scene for a day party. The music selection is also broad from this era and makes a great atmosphere for the celebration.
"Grease"
Treat your guests to a '50s style party by featuring elements from the movie "Grease." The classic movie, which is well-loved by many, ends with a high school graduation that guests affectionately remember. The soundtrack for this movie was popular and ignites sing-alongs when you play it in the background of your get-together. Decorate using a carnival theme similar to the final scene and encourage attendees to dress like their favorite characters.
College or Military Focus
For graduates headed on to higher education or the armed forces, a party focusing on their destination is an excellent theme choice. Decorate with multiple pennants and jerseys, according the Graduationparty.com. Ask attendees to bring gifts or refreshments with the graduate's new logo. If the graduate is going into the military, center the party on the main form of transportation represented. For example, a Navy-bound graduate party can have a nautical theme.
Career-based
College graduates typically finish school with a career goal in mind. If your student knows what he wants to do for the rest of his life, choose decorations and food to reflect his new job. For a budding computer programmer or similar desk job, set up a mock cubicle and house all your appetizers and food there for starters.
Thanks for the Memories
Graduation is a time of reflection for any student. If you have known the graduate for many years, a "This Is Your Life-So Far" party is meaningful. Gather school pictures from kindergarten to present and either display them on a poster board or computer presentation and have old friends and family members tell funny stories from the past.
