Graduation Party Glamour
It is caps and gowns galore this time of year, and I’m sure the graduation invites have already started to pile up in your mailbox. Make your graduation party stand out from all the backyard barbecues and potlucks with a little glitz and glamour. Your graduate has worked hard to get to this day, so it’s only fitting that they feel like a star. Set up a paparazzi area with a fun photo booth backdrop to capture the graduate, family, and friends as they stop by to honor the grad’s accomplishments. The majority of grad parties are going to be casual, afternoon affairs. Break from the pack, and host a more formal, evening event with dancing and cocktails (or mocktails). Guests will be thrilled for something other than the five potato salad, broccoli slaw, and hot dog meals they had that day. See our other star studded party supplies for more decorating ideas.

Destination Graduation
It is almost May which means graduation for high school and college seniors is right around the corner! What better way to celebrate those years of achievements and hard work than with a fun graduation party. Knot the Groom has a plethora of party decor options that can be personalized with your grad’s name and school colors. If you are planning a small, intimate gathering with family and friends, a table runner is a wonderful way to spruce up a nice sit-down dinner. Most graduation parties, however, involve a lot of people coming and going throughout the day as they hop from one grad party to the next. With that in mind, consider setting up a buffet table with a larger, personalized table runner that draws attention and helps direct guests. Make sure to send invitations or announcements about two weeks in advance of the celebrations. It is always a nice gesture to send an invitation to people you know cannot make the party as well so they know of your accomplishment. And who knows, they may still send a card with some college (or life) fund money!

Garden Tea Party Inspiration
Celebrate special moments this spring with an enchanting garden themed tea party. Fragrant flowers, pretty pinks, vintage saucers, and scrumptious petite sweets will add extra charm to a lovely afternoon of tea and conversation. After tea, enjoy a stroll outside or through an indoor botanical garden if the weather isn’t in your favor. You will have your family and friends looking forward to all of your gatherings! Bridal showers, baby showers, and Mother’s Days are all perfect occasions for a charming and intimate afternoon tea. And since Mother’s Day is right around the corner (May 13th), it is time to plan some quality mother-daughter time. Show your appreciation for all of the moms in your life with a heartfelt gift as well! See my suggestions below.
