Planning a High School Graduation Party for the Last Time
The day has come, I am an empty nester and my youngest has graduated from high school. I am planning my last high school graduation party.
Where did the time go? It seemed like yesterday when she was just a baby.

It was a wild month leading up to the graduation ceremony and the graduation party. But I was so happy and glad we did everything to make the day and weekend special.
High School Graduation Party Ideas
When I mean we did everything we did everything. Including a photo-booth, chocolate-covered strawberries, and photo candy favors.
It took me three weeks to recuperate, I think that’s a sign I’m getting older. Here are just a few from her party and graduation itself.
I threw two high school graduation parties that year as my stepdaughter graduated from the same school. We had two parties, two sets of photos, twice as many pictures.
But, I had fun and wouldn’t have changed a thing. Ok, maybe not dipped so many chocolate-covered strawberries, but that’s another story.
These young adults are now on their way into adulthood, college, jobs, the military and places and experiences unknown. As parents, we supported them in their activities, tried to correct behavior, and guided them in the ways of the world. It is now up to them.
My two sons graduated years ago and I kept several of their decorations. That saved some money. Since one party was a week before the other I could reuse decorations from one girl to the next, to a point.
Each had their own style and wanted to personalize their own celebration, which is the way it should be. These graduation party favor streamers are fun to wave and shake during the ceremony or during a graduation parade.
Popular Graduation Party Decorations
High school graduation is special and it represents not only the end of their general school career but is a starting point for adulthood.
Many parents will post photographs that represent the journey from infant to adulthood to compare how they have changed and grown.
There are so many themed party ideas and you can go crazy on Etsy graduation gifts for her.
