3. Light Up the Night: Hang string lights or paper lanterns to create a magical ambiance as the sun sets. Lighting can transform any space and make it feel cozy and inviting.


4. Game On: Keep your guests entertained with a variety of yard games like cornhole, giant Jenga, or ladder toss. Games are a great way to break the ice and get everyone mingling.




5. Capture Memories: Set up a polaroid station for a unique guest book idea. Encourage guests to snap a photo and leave a message for the graduate. It's a fun keepsake that you can cherish for years to come. Here's what you need to make this unique guest book a success:

  • Polaroid Camera and enough film for all your guests

  • Guest Book: Opt for a hardcover guest book to preserve this memento for a lifetime.

  • Display: Consider a clothesline and clothespins for guest to hang their photo.

  • Marker Pens: These allow your guests to leave a personalized message either on the photo, or in your guest book.

  • Double Sided Tape: If you don't have a display set up, guests can place their photos in your guestbook. If you choose to display them, you'll use this later to put your photos in the book.


6. Delicious Food Stations: Treat your guests to a feast with fun food stations like a make-your-own pasta bowl, nacho bar, chips and dip buffet, pizza buffet, cotton candy machine, popcorn machine, or a slushy station. With a variety of options, there's something for everyone to enjoy!
