First it was the inspiration board, then free favor tags and the treat table.  We finish Headed For A Bright Future neon graduation party week with the party table.

Neon is the name of the party game today…but not too much, a little goes a long way.  Start off with a neutral base so you aren’t overwhelming your guests with all the brightness.

I made an easy banner trimming neon paper and stickers, then finishing off with mini clothespins on twine.  Until I learn to sew, my little clothespins work hard.

My new party obsession comes inspired by Brit & Co, balloon dipped bud vases.  All the look of paint, none of the permanent.

Headed For A Bright Future neon graduation party picture place cards
A great place card idea, use guests’ baby photos. Not only is it a great walk down memory lane but an awesome conversation starter.  Before the party, accost their parents for a photo, make a copy of the photos onto cardstock and trim square.

 

For the place settings, I used the rest of my stash from PartyPail for the place settings.  With their white 7″ square plates and cups, I  jazzed them up a bit with washi tape and round stickers.  This is a great way to pull your color through white paper items.

Headed For A Bright Future neon graduation party candy favor boxes

Nope, those aren’t plastic sunglasses…I broke out a candy mold and made them myself. I folded down the sides of Chinese take out boxes, then filled them with Sixlets and the sunglasses for a fun favor.

No fuss, no muss…and perfect for entertaining a large crowd.  No need to beg and borrow china and breakables, paper goods can be fun!

I hope you have been inspired this week to celebrate your graduate’s bright future!
