Graduation Party – A Bright Future {guest feature}

Host a graduation party “A Bright Future” theme. Looking for the perfect theme for your graduation party? How about focusing on the future! Incorporate light bulbs into the decor and create a beautiful dessert table. Graduation printables help to bring this party together too. Check out all our graduation party ideas for more!

graduation party A Bright Future theme

Paula of Frog Prince Paperie sent us the fantastic graduation party and I know you’ll get inspired. The theme is “A Bright Future” and can be applied to your high school graduation party. You can create a dessert display like thus using the school colors of your graduate. And of course you can update the year as needed.

To round out this table you can serve golden graduation party punch. It’s made for all ages and the color compliments this blue and yellow decor. Furthermore,  you can add these outdoor party decor ideas to welcome guests as they arrive to the party.

Paula found the light bulb candy containers at Hobby Lobby and added real bulbs around the table for decor. She added some classic graduation symbols like pirouette cookies tied with fruit candy strips to look like diplomas. Mortarboard “graduation caps” are made to top the push pop containers. See how to make DIY graduation caps yourself.
Lollipops are molded into the graduation year, and decorated cookies are always a welcome treat.

HOSTESS TIP: Use the push pop containers for things other than cupcakes. Fill them with candies for cute party favors.

What do you think of this Bright Future graduation theme? Are you going to incorporate any of these fun ideas?

    I love the lightbulbs, and the polka dot garland, is that paint chips? This is what I was thinking to do for my daughters Kai-Lan party, but I want to get a flower punch for the chips! Or maybe a lantern one?!
