Donut Graduation Party

Donut Graduation Party by Bloom Designs

Hey Everyone! I have had a crazy month- 3 parties in four weeks. Yes I am completely exhausted but the celebrations were so much fun and worth the effort. This Donut You Forget About Me Graduation Party was just this past weekend. I hosted it with a dear friend for our daughters’ who are graduation from eight grade. The mood of the party was supposed to be relaxed, pretty and fun- just like our girls. We tried to achieve that with beautiful decorations in shades of pink and pretty calligraphy while inserting silly signs at all our food tables. This theme would also work great for a moving away party or any end of year gather.

We hired a taco cart for the main meal and offered all the fixing at the “Taco Bout A Party” Table. Guest also built their own nachos at the “Nacho Average Graduate” Table which was filled with homemade quest and lots of different toppings.

Everyone’s favorite table was of course the “Donut You Forget About Me” where we served several different varieties of donuts. I have love that song from Breakfast Club since I was in school. My daughter actually thought I was completely nuts when I suggested this theme last year but I think it turned out super cute. We tried to order as many varieties as possible with pink topping. We also colored our own sprinkles which we gave to the donut store to make sure the colors matched the party better.

My favorite detail from the party was the frames that decorated the fireplace. We filled them with a photo of the girls over the years making sure that each graduate attending was in at least one. It was really heartwarming to see how even though the girls are only 14, they have had a long history with so many of their friends.

We were so blessed to celebrate with family, longtime friends some of whom have watched the girls grow up the past 10+ years and new friend who already feel like old. We are so happy for this group of sweet kids! Can’t wait to see what they do in high school.
