Make Your Tables Pop with Graduation Centerpieces from Cool-Party-Favors.com
Online, June 17, 2013 (Newswire.com) - With graduation party season soon upon us, make sure that your tables pop by making economical and personalized centerpieces. They often help pull the entire celebration together. Here are some ideas for simple to create, unique graduation centerpieces.
Sports Centerpieces: Perfect for the athlete in your life, these will easily set the theme of your party. Purchase glass vases in a variety of sizes from your local craft store. Fill some of the vases with snacks that are popular at any sporting event, from popcorn to peanuts to Cracker Jacks. Then, in the largest vase, place small plastic balls from your athlete's sport of choice. These may be baseballs, basketballs, soccer balls, or even hockey pucks or running shoes. You may wish to decorate them in the school colors.
Candy Centerpieces: These are stylish and tasty decorations! Choose a candy that comes in a number of colors, such as M&Ms, and fill a distinctly shaped glass vase with them. (The vases on each table can be different.) Pick colors from the school your guest of honor graduated from or plans to attend, and then tie a ribbon in one of the colors around each vase. If possible, print a picture of the school mascot, and secure the ribbon with this.
Cookie Pop Centerpieces: You can create your own "graduation caps" with chocolate covered graham crackers and small Reese's peanut butter cups. Turn the peanut butter cups upside down and connect them to the crackers using frosting or more peanut butter. Then place a small stick in each treat and line them all up on a Styrofoam holder. Finally, add a "ribbon" to the top of each cap with icing. Encourage guests to enjoy this centerpiece at the party or take one home with them. Just be sure there are enough for each person at the table!
Wine Bottle Centerpieces: Gather empty wine bottles and spray paint each one so that it is a solid color that matches your other decorations. (Miniature bottles also work well.) Then place a small amount of water in each one and add a large, colorful flower. Daisies and sunflowers are perfect for this, which creates a fun and elegant look for a spring or summer party.
Picture Bouquet Centerpieces: For a very personalized piece, purchase a simple floral bouquet for each table. Then place pictures of the graduate throughout the bouquet. (Plastic or metal holders can hold these up at different levels.) You may choose school pictures or even have each table dedicated to one year of the graduate's life.
