Hubby's Grad Party Ideas

For the past three years, my husband has been in school {he skipped a year because he's a smarty-- proud wife moment}. He goes to school about 45 minutes from our house, two days a week. Two days doesn't seem like much, but add that on top of 48 hours a week & it is exhausting... 

Well he is finally finished with school & I am so happy, proud, & excited for him (& us- more time together). He has worked so hard, so I knew that I wanted to throw a little party to celebrate him & his hard work. 

I have been in party planning mode the past few weeks... I ordered these pretty invites from Etsy & I love the way they turned out. It was an e-file & I printed them myself.

After I bought the invites, I knew that I wanted to continue to use mint green, white, black & gold glitter throughout the party decorations. 

I wanted to use some mason jars & votive's with gold glitter on them. I thought that the votive's would be pretty on each of the tables & the mason jars as holders for straws & utensils. 

I really like the look of tissue paper decorations- they're a pain in the ass to put together, but they last a while unlike balloons. I decided that I wanted to use black & white- plain & simple. I also made some yarn garland {Garland Galore & More...} to add to our decorations, as well as DIY confetti for all of the tabletops. 

I wanted to make a punch for the party, so when I saw this awesome drink dispenser on sale for $13 at Target I knew that I needed it for the party. Also picked up some minty fresh colored straws from my go-to Etsy shop.

And last but not least... the cake !! It won't be a two tiered cake, but it will be mint colored. It will also have some pom poms on top that I made. And I love the idea of putting the slices of wood underneath-- I am definitely picking these up ASAP from Michael's. 

Well I hope you like some of the ideas for hubby's graduation party-- I am excited to see how everything turns out. 

Stay tuned for a post next week from the party {get excited!!}.
