A Sporting Life
It's hard to not think of sports when you think of certain graduates. Whether they were team captain or a great fan, they love the sport. I have one friend who cannot have a conversation without soccer coming up. Simply loves the sport. If you have a sports loving graduate, it's a good idea to use that sport as a theme for the graduation. This is especially effective with smaller parties or younger graduates, although it can work for anyone who's a fan(atic). Graduation Invitation
For a complete list of our graduation products, visit Graduation Decorating411! For a complete list of our sports products, visit Sports Decorating411! Welcome Area As people enter, place an easel sign welcoming everyone to "Play the Game". For basketball you can “Hoop it Up!” for the graduate. For soccer
"Joey Graduated. What a Kick!" You get the idea.
Balloon bouquets As people move from the welcome area to the dining area, create a fabulous balloon arch mixed with
sports theme balloons, Party Area
The room can be filled with fabulous balloon centerpieces, highlighted with sports theme balloons. You can have these rise out of a personalized centerpiece, or turn over a plastic hat in either a football, baseball, basketball, or soccer design (or mix them up!) and fill it with balloons and shredz or paper confetti available at party stores.
It is also important to display memories of the graduate's life. Maybe pictures of the graduate in uniform from little league when they were only six, or sports trophies they earned while on the school soccer team. Display these throughout the rooms, or on one special table where guests can gather and reminisce. Continue the sports theme throughout the room using some of these great decorations: For football try some of these:

Basketball Party Pack For more Basketball Decorating ideas visit Basketball Decorating411. Basketball reminds me of cheerleaders and that means pom-poms. Very colorful and fun. If you are making your own centerpieces these are a great touch. For soccer, you'll get a kick out of these.
Or make your life easier and order the Soccer Party Pack. For more Soccer Decorating ideas visit Soccer Decorating411. And then there is the great American pastime…baseball. There are lots of great options here, and you can even tie this into a patriotic theme (lots of graduation parties are held around Memorial Day or July 4th, and this kind of theme can work well around those dates). Check out our Memorial Day theme or our Independence Day theme if you decide to fly the red, white and blue.
Or make your life easier and order the whole
Baseball Party Pack. Menu and Bar Serve classic stadium food like nachos, soft pretzels, french fries, hotdogs, and hamburgers. You can set up a condiments station so everyone can load up their food with all of the mustard, onions, and relish they want. For the adults serve ice cold beer in big plastic cups, and for those under 21, fill a large plastic cooler with a sports classic, Gatorade! You can get water bottle labels that are personalized with info about the graduate to put on bottled water for a special touch. Activities The thing about sports themes is that activities naturally follow. If the graduate's classmates show up in force, prepare for a spirited game of baseball (or Whiffleball might be safer), touch football, or a little 3 on 3 tournament on the hoop in the driveway. With many parties being open houses held outdoors, these kinds of games make perfect sense. Or, think about a skills tournament. Free throw shooting with basketball. Home run derby (think Whiffleball!) for baseball. Dribbling or passing accuracy for soccer. You get the idea. Or, just make sure the equipment is available and the kids will figure out their own game. Graduation Party Planning and Decorating Ideas from Party411.com
