Candy & Treats
A popular grad party idea is to have themed candy for your guests to eat or take away when they leave.
It's a nice finishing touch to your party and you don't have to spend a lot of money. Just a few bowls of jelly beans or M&M's or some personalized candy bars is plenty. Or you can go all out and create a fun candy buffet. Put the candy in candy bowls on the tables scattered throughout your party area or set up a special candy table.

Candy buffets are a growing trend at grad parties. Most people include their grad's favorite candies and/or candies in their grad's high school or college colors.
Buy or borrow large clear vases, cookie jars, candy jars or bowls. They don't have to be the same size, shape or style. In fact, a variety of sizes and shapes creates a nice visual effect.
Your guests can snack on candies during the party or you can provide little cellophane bags or graduation favor boxes for people to take some home when they leave. If you set up the candy buffet by the door, they'll be more likely to take some on the way out. You can even include a little "Thank You for coming!" label or note with each bag or favor box.
