This week, I would like to share with you a college graduation party put together for a student graduating with a teaching degree. It was a long time coming, so we wanted to make sure it was special. When thinking of a theme, the first thing to pop into mind was an apple theme. After all, what is more symbolic of a teacher than an apple, right?
With than in mind, I thought it would be a cute idea to have the invitation reflect a Principal's Hall Pass and I designated red and black as the colors for the party. So to keep with the apple theme, I stamped the outside of the invitation with a big red apple and had the Sender's label reflect that the invitation was coming from The Principal's Office to tie together with the invitation. Here is a picture of the invitation and envelope:
and here's what the main table looked like:
When putting it all together, I had to think of what else would be symbolic of teachers? So I wrapped up a few books and tied them up with a cute ribbon and stuck a cut-out in there for added cuteness. Voila!
And what about these personalized pencils from one of my fave stores - Oriental Trading Company? They served as cute decoration and served as take home favors too. They were very reasonably priced as well, which is always a plus!
I made little tin favors and filled them with red M&Ms to go along with the pencils.
and used the little brown paper bags, in the back, as decoration and goodie bags for guests to put their favors in.
I added a few mini chalkboards and used some as prop signs.
As guests arrived, they stopped for a photo-op as they signed the Teacher's Chalkboard.
Then guests made their way in and signed the Teacher's Grade Book too, whick served as a cool keepsake.
Finally, here is the beautiful cake! It was so beautiful that it deserved it's own photo. :-)
So the rest is history my friends! It was a wonderful event and one that was fun to plan too! I really love themed parties! Until next week!
awesome for my daughter! Thank you

DeleteI just graduated from college with a dual degree in special education and elementary education! I am going to use quite a few of your ideas for my party at the end of this month! Thank you!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a question: Where and how did you make those invites? I would love to make something similar but I can't figure out how you did it! Thank you! :) Please email me with the directions if you can!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn, thanks for your comment and congrats on graduating! I actually used a feature on Word that already had the notebook layout and I took it from there. However, I believe that feature is only available on Mac computers. Good luck and have fun planning your party!
DeleteHello! Thank you for commenting as I just realized this is an old post! :) I do not have a Mac but maybe I can see if anybody I know has one! Did you print them on cardstock? I love them! Thank you again for these great ideas! We are doing a money tree instead of gifts so people will pin the money on the tree when they get there!

DeleteI really love those tins filled with m&m's! How did you make the labels for it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment...glad you liked it! I printed them out on address labels and stuck them right on. :-)
DeleteI liked this Teacher College Graduation Party a lot. I adore all these decorations a lot. I would also be attending a grand bash at event venue New York. It is a fairy themed bridal shower of my cousin. I am sure it will also turn out to be an enjoyable event.
