Table Decorations

A quick and inexpensive way to make your party area festive is to use colored table cloths and skirting.

Use your grad's school colors or, if they're going to college, use their college colors.

For the tables guests will be sitting at, most people use table covers only.

For "special" tables like the tribute to your grad table or the gift table use table covers and/or table skirting.  

Plastic colored table covers and skirting can be purchased at your local party store or online at Shindigz.  Shindigz has many different colors and sizes to choose from.  Click here to see their selection and to order.

Flowers are always a great choice for centerpieces.  Order them at your local flower shop.  Or, depending on the time of year and if you have a blooming flower garden, cut some fresh flowers ... just make sure there are no bugs! 

Buy some inexpensive vases in your grad's school colors.  Put your freshly cut flowers in your new vases to create beautiful centerpieces!  One mother we talked to reused the vases and created unique arrangements for all three of her children’s graduation parties.  For her son’s she used sports memorabilia instead of flowers.

If your Graduation Party is in the spring or summer, look for annuals at your local garden center.  These can be cut and put in bud vases or small flower vases.  Or pot them in small pots decorated with ribbons.  You can also write different sayings or "words of wisdom" in different colors on each one.

You should be able to buy vases at a department store or flower store in your area.

Balloon bouquets make fun & festive table centerpieces.  You can use latex or Mylar balloons in your grad's favorite colors or school colors. 

The helium in mylar balloons will last for a couple of days. In latex balloons helium will only last for up to 24 hours. So don't blow them up too early!

Check out our Balloons webpage for ideas and for suggestions on where you can purchase graduation-themed balloons.

Add a special touch to your tables by sprinkling confetti on them.  Sprinkle it on your dining tables, your guest book table and your gift table.

Graduation-themed confetti can be ordered online at Shindigz.  You may also be able to buy it at a party store in your area. 

Check out our Local Resources page and search for your state to see if we have some stores listed.

This fun & unique table décor features photographs of the graduate and Congratulatory messages mixed in with festive confetti.  Find out more at Photofetti. 

Carry your confetti or Photofetti theme through by including it in your invitations and thank you cards.
