10+ Ideas to Celebrate Graduation

Graduation day is right around the corner and whether you have a kindergarten graduate, a high school or college graduate, or something in between, it’s always fun to celebrate!  I rounded up more than ten ideas to celebrate graduation and any of these easy ideas will add some fun to your celebration!

I made this graduating class cake for my twins’ kindergarten class last year.  Each child in the class had a personalized spot on the cake which made it a huge hit among these little ones.  {To make it simple, I used a plain storebought cake and then decorated it.}

Who doesn’t love a push pop?  These mortarboard push pops are adorable and it wouldn’t take long to make enough for the whole class.  You can even customize the color to match the school colors of the graduate.

Hosting a party at your house?  Create a graduation party backdrop for a photo booth or the food table by using square paper plates to create mortarboards!

I love these simple graduation soda bottles.  Any type of soda would work but the black lid really completes the look.  The personalized label is super cute but not necessary if you’re trying to keep it simple.

I’m horrible at making cake pops but these graduation cap pops look simple enough for anyone to pull off.  Delicious and cute and a really fun addition to a graduation party!

Graduates love money and gift cards and this graduation cap gift card holder is a great way to gift a card.  Plus, it’s easy and can be made at the last minute just before you head out the door to the party!

This idea was all the rage last year: have this Dr. Seuss book signed by the teacher every year.  I started this for my twins and plan to continue it at least through elementary school … or until I forget to get it signed in the end of the year hustle {smile}.

These light bulb party favors are so stinkin’ cute, aren’t they?  Fill them with colorful candies that match school colors.

I made graduation cap cupcakes last year as well.  Mini chocolate donuts and chocolate covered wafer-style cookies make them quick to throw together {adhere them with a bit of melted chocolate} and the tassel is made with fruit leather, snipped with scissors to create a fringe.

These cookie diplomas are made from storebought pirouette-style cookies.  So simple but definitely an adorable treat for a party!

If DIY isn’t your style, you can buy these fun cupcake wrappers and picks {affiliate link} to jazz up your party.  I love the way it looks like the caps are being thrown in the air!

And if you’re giving a money gift to a graduate, this money tube is a fun way to wrap it!
