Alright. This week the blog is going to focus on graduation. Not only showing off our super cool graduation invites but also helping you plan and prepare for the best graduation party ever.

Where do you even start? Many start with a theme. Might be as simple as your school colors or extravagant as a Mexican Fiesta. I think my own graduation party theme was pork. I know, cool, right? Long story short my parents are in the swine industry, but really, I wish I would have had a cool theme. We actually had my party the night of the ceremony, so maybe our theme was ‘hallelujah, we’re done’. But enought about me.

Here’s a question we received recently from a Pear Tree customer…

Our son is graduating from high school this year and we’re planning his open house. We’d like to make it as fun as possible for him, but are struggling with finding a theme. Can you help us?

We sure can! Don’t think too hard about finding the perfect graduation theme…just think about your son. What’s his personality, what are his interests? If he’s involved in sports, decorate with the school colors and equipment from the sports he loves. If he speaks a foreign language and loves to travel, consider serving food and decorating with elements of different cultures. Does he love to swim? Consider hosting a pool party or a party by a lake to enjoy the water. If he’s a movie buff, how about a Hollywood-theme event? Music his passion? Decoarte in black and white with musical motifs. Once you pick a theme…the ideas will start to flow!

So, once you have your theme it might make it easier to select the perfect invitation!

Going with school colors? Our collage photo graduation invitation comes in many color options and also offers 4 different spots for photos. But if your school colors are the definite theme, how about placing your school logo or mascot icon in one of the photo areas? See what Megan from Washington did below!
