Graduation Party Ideas + Graduation Day Beauty and Fashion!

It's that time again. Graduation. This year, my brother is graduating and I'm helping to decorate and plan his party. I'm going to show you some must-haves and ideas that I love for a graduation party and also some beauty and fashion tips for graduation day itself! I hope this helps you, and let's get started!

Party Ideas!

1. Streamers!

Streamers are a necessity for any party, so we need them at this one! I think that this is a really cute idea. All you do is take your school colors of streamers and twist them to make cute and fun streamers! You can hang them around your venue and go crazy! 

2. Graduation Cap treats!

These little treats are so cute and very grad party appropriate as well! To make these, you take a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and using some melted chocolate, you attach a chocolate square to the top. Then, you take an M'n'M and you attach that, too. Finally you cut a small strip of a sour straw and place it right next to the M'n'M, so it hangs off of the side. You can attach a stick to make it portable or you can serve them just as they are! These are super fun and delicious, a great idea for a party like this.

3. Confetti!

Confetti is a MUST, to add a little pizazz to your tables. You can find all kinds of different confetti. You can use graduation themed confetti, your school colors in different shapes or even your school's mascot! The choices are basically endless. I love confetti, because you can tell you're at a celebration and it makes it happy and fun. 

Beauty and Fashion!

1. Hair!

Your hair at graduation is basically the main thing that the audience will see of you, besides your face. It's important for you hair to look nice because it is a special event where lots of pictures will be taken and memories will be made. Curly hair is personally my suggestion, but straight hair looks nice too. I like curly hair, because most of the time it looks like you spent time on it, which presents yourself in a good way. I would, if doing curly hair, curl tight curls when you curl it, because they will most likely fall a little bit before graduation. Straight hair is also good, if you want to have a hairstyle that you can do pretty quickly and it will look good all day, without you having to worry about falling or anything. 

2. Makeup!

My suggestion for makeup is to do a little bit more than you usually do, so that it will show up good on camera and you will look put together and very nice. A nice smoky eye is good, if you want a little drama, but if you would rather have a more natural-esque feel, then a cream and brown look is a great go-to. Makeup is important because people will focus on your face, since not much is going on with your clothes. You will again, leave a good impression if you do your makeup and look nice. 

3. Clothes/Shoes!

Clothes matter a little, but don't go overboard. A nice, simple dress will do, or even dress pants and a nice shirt. DO NOT wear jeans, I repeat DO NOT wear jeans. This is a special occasion which calls for dressing up a bit.  Heels for shoes are my suggestion because it ties the whole look together, but flats will work just as well if you don't feel comfortable in heels. Also, don't go overboard on shoes either, a nice simple pair of heels or flats will do just fine. 

I hope you enjoyed these party, beauty and fashion ideas for graduation! I hope that everyone graduating has an amazing day and I hope you take a lot of pictures and make a lot of memories. Enjoy your future and the world ahead of you.
