Let's hit rewind to a totally awesome time and celebrate the class of 2021! Celebrate your graduates with a colorful, fun, and totally rad graduation party!
That's right, dust off your cassettes and tease up your hair for a throw-back 80's inspired graduation party to celebrate the graduate. The future is looking bright and so is this colorful party, which makes it the perfect way to say congratulations to your rad grad!
This cool class of seniors sported bold 80s inspired fashion, so it's only natural to celebrate their final hooray with a retro party full of neon colors and bold prints. Make this party rad to the max with a DIY Balloon Garland Backdrop & Photo Booth, Cassette Tape Candy Bar Party Favors, and DIY Boom Box Guest Book.
When it comes to decorating for any celebration I always like to start with a focal point. For this party I knew I wanted a large statement piece that could serve double duty as the backdrop for the dessert table, and a spot for guests to snap photos with the graduate.
I started by layering a colorful DIY balloon garland over the Birthday Confetti Tablecloth. I then added in gold letter balloons to spell out "RAD GRAD" and some Congrats Girl Grad Party Paper Fans to create the colorful and totally awesome backdrop.
Use a small table for desserts and snacks; a spot where guests can easily help themselves always makes a party run smoothly. I love these Cassette Tape Buckets because they are the perfect containers to serve snacks like popcorn and pretzels.
One of my favorite new party supplies is the fillable cake stand because there are endless possibilities for customization for any occasion. The Fillable Cake Stand with Glow Stick Kit was perfect for this retro-inspired party. It is the perfect focal point for any party table and really made the cupcakes, outfitted with black and white wrappers with Congrats Girl Grad Party Picks, pop.
These super cool Graduate Plastic Straws are another fun addition to any graduation celebration. Toasting the graduate is way more fun with silly straws!
While our graduate's high school chapter is over, the best is certainly yet to come. The colorful Congrats Girl Paper Dessert Plates are the perfect pop of pink and provide some oh so sassy encouragement! Keep the positive vibes going by adding the Congrats Girl Graduation Party Napkins to your set-up. I love that these hashtag napkins add a current trend to our retro-inspired party.
One of the best parts about a graduation party is getting the chance to reminisce with friends and look forward to the future. Give guests a totally awesome way to give advice, well wishes, or share their favorite memories with the grad by creating a DIY Boom Box Guest Book.
I turned the Boom Box Piñata into a super cool guest book for our 80s themed grad party. Guests were encouraged to leave well wishes, advice, or share a memory with the graduate on the printable cassette tape advice cards.
Don't forget to snap photos of the rad grad and their totally awesome friends! Turn the colorful balloon garland backdrop into a photo booth by moving the dessert table and setting out props from the Congrats Grad Photo Booth Props along with a Polaroid camera so everyone can take home photos from the party.
Before everyone heads their separate ways, be sure to send guests home with Cassette Tape Candy Bar Favors, a sweet treat that's totally rad!
Graduating from high school is such an exciting time for seniors and is truly unforgettable. Celebrate this major milestone with a super cool, colorful, and rad to the max party! Don't forget to soak up the memories and create your own DIY Balloon Garland Backdrop & Photo Booth, DIY Cassette Tape Candy Bar Party Favors, and DIY Boom Box Guest Book for this totally awesome celebration.
