5 Tips for Hosting a Rad Grad Party
Say It With Balloons
Give your party an extra pop with giant balloons that spell out a message for your grad. In this case, we wanted to celebrate the rad grad so we used gold metallic letter balloons paired with a colorful balloon garland.
Set Up a Photo Booth
A must at any graduation party is a photo booth. Set up a picture-perfect backdrop and a spot to snap photos with friends. In this case, the large statement balloon backdrop can also serve double duty as the backdrop for the dessert table, and a spot for guests to snap photos with the graduate.
Serve Smart Snacks
Your smart cookie needs lots of fuel to keep the celebration going. Be sure to set up a snack station where guests can help themselves. Use fun-themed containers like these cassette tape buckets to serve snacks like popcorn and pretzels.
