Graduation Party Inspiration

Mr. Fanatic and I love to throw parties!!! Because of all the redecorating/remodeling activity going on at our house, there hasn't been a lot of partying going on around here lately! Here's a photo of my youngest daughter's 15th birthday party a year and a half ago. We've had a few parties since then, but this was the last themed party that I decorated.






When Trader Joe's opened up in Charlotte, we had a Trader Joe's party to celebrate.

This June my oldest daughter is graduating from High School, so this big event definitely calls for a celebration!
 I've been reading a lot of blogs lately for inspiration, so here's what I've come up with:

While out in California we found some pink & green colored lanterns at Fabric Barn. You can see what we purchased if you click here. My daughter chose the colors...I really wanted turquoise & green, but it's her graduation party, so pink & green it is.
Here's a fabulous party with Chinese lanterns. Don't they look great? You can click on the name of the blog to go to the post on the website.

 Love, love, love, these tissue pom poms!


This banner behind a wonderful desert table is fantastic!  I like the painted pots.  Going to "borrow" this idea!

This photo mobile is so clever. Wouldn't it be great with all those first day of school photos on them with tissue paper pom poms at the top?

I love the birdcage idea for a decoration somewhere. So cute!

Would love to hear any other suggestions for cute ideas for a graduation party from all of you who either have thrown one or who have gone to another memorable party! Would love suggestions. Please let me know!!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Great photos, we love planning parties too. My sons Halloween party was a blast, and we did it in the Garage. I think the painted pots idea is great!
