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!
