Offer leis at a luau graduation party.
College graduation is a landmark moment in the student's life. She has worked very hard for her degree, and a party is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate her accomplishment. Choose a theme that will suit the graduate and her tastes, and plan decorations, invitations, activities and food accordingly. Does this Spark an idea?
When You Grow Up
Declare the graduation party a theme costume party and ask everyone to show up dressed as what they wanted to be when they were children. Whether they wanted to be ballerinas, firemen or circus performers, this theme gets everyone thinking about the party. The costumes are a good ice breaker for people who don't know each other, and can give others new insights about their friends. Give prizes for the best costume, for the most unusual costume and for the people who actually became what they wanted to be when they were 6.
School Spirit
Use the graduate's school colors to decorate for a school spirit party. Consider holding the party at a park near the college or planning it in tandem with a sporting event so all the guests can attend. Encourage the guests to wear the school's colors and give prizes for people who go above and beyond to sport the school's colors. If children are in attendance, offer to paint their faces. Choose snacks to reflect the school's mascot or colors.
Luau
For a fun and relaxing party for a graduate who doesn't want to be indoors, consider a Hawaiian luau. Serve tropical desserts like banana cream pie and pineapple upside down cake, or go all out and serve dinner or lunch with grilled meats. For an extravagant gesture, serve a whole roasted pig. Offer guests leis of flowers as they walk in and give prizes to everyone who dresses according to the theme.
Wine and Cheese Tasting
A wine and cheese tasting is a perfect choice for an elegant and grown-up evening. This lets the graduate get dressed up in her nicest clothes, and it keeps the party low-key. Look around for a winery that will give the graduate a bottle of wine from the year of her birth or from the year she was graduated. Encourage everyone to dress up for this elegant party.
