Well the month of June is finally here and I am hoping that we can share ideas to help make graduation memories… I found some ideas that I was going to use for Nicole’s graduation and I am hoping you can give me some additional ideas!

My mom and I decorated multi-colored mason jars for table decorations.. I placed tags on them spelling out 2014...we also added decorative pebbles to anchor the graduation caps on the sticks...I love the adorable candy grad caps! The day before we will take the lollipop sticks and take mini Reese peanut butter cups and pieces of chocolate bars, mini M&M's and pieces of licorice.. Everything will be held together with icing... Place them in the mason jars and grad table decorations..

I used two long candy sticks and wrapped with a ribbon as diplomas for place settings..

I bought a large 2014 sign and will back with foam board so that family and friends can leave messages...Ordered a cake with her picture and balloons..

Please share your ideas! I really want to make this a wonderful memory for Nicole so I could use your suggestions..and I promise to share pictures...!!!

Here are a few special ideas I received from Colleen, Janie and Mandy:

These would be cute in the school colors. This is Reese mini peanut butter cups with a block of Hershey chocolate bar broken up for the hat.

Have Nicole and her friends write their future goals and keep them in the mason jars to only open ten or 15 years from now. They can also write each other notes and read them when they open! Like a home capsule!

Place flowers in unique vases then after the party take the flowers and press them in a special book  for life time memories… I still have my mother’s carnations from when she graduated pressed in her yearbook.
