The Table:
The masculine wooden pallets (painted white) I used for the main party table were set at the perfect height for hanging out. I set the scene with Diamond Clear Latex Balloons, Jumbo White Latex Balloons, Confetti Latex Balloons, and Silver Mylar Letter Balloons spelling out "GRAD" behind the table.
Half Gallon Cylinder Jars (other options include: short pedestal jar, clear cylinder jar or the glass jar set) filled with Gold Sixlets, Hershey's® Rolos®, Gold Buttermints, and Campfire Mini Marshmallows made a tasty centerpiece. I put White Personalized Megaphones saying "CONGRATS GRAD" next to each place setting to create a school spirit feel. Follow my easy tutorial here to make the Graduation Hat DIY Favor Jars.
I used Kraft Paper Confetti Cones as snack cups. They are easy to hold and make the perfect party treat holder!
When I think of a food staple when it comes to boys I think of cold cereal, so a cereal bar was a must when it came to throwing the ultimate guys graduation party! See how I set up the perfect cereal bar in the easy tutorial for DIY Graduation Party Cereal Bar.
I quickly typed out a card showing what cereal was available, and hot glued the individual cereal pieces onto the card. You can customize this to your grad's favorite cereal!
To go along with the cereal theme, milk was served in Clear Glass Milk Bottles.
I added more school spirit with the adorable and super fun School Spirit White Foam Hands. Teenagers love them!
Premium Metallic Gold Cutlery was set next to each Birch Paper Dinner Plate on Birch Napkins.
The Gold Snack Cups were just the right size for the cold cereal and matched the spread perfectly.
I put a College Fund Jar out on the welcome table so guests could fill it with their donations for the graduate. Every little bit helps!
