Gorgeous Graduation Party Centerpieces You Don’t Want To Miss Out On

It's graduation party season!

Planning and hosting a graduation party after having to go through everything required just to graduate is quite the difficult feat.

In my opinion, the centerpieces for each table at my grad party was the most fun part to make, but also the most tedious. Making sure you have the right supplies to create graduation party centerpieces that your guests love as much as you do is crucial! 

What Do You Put In A Graduation Party Centerpiece?

Before we get into our favorite graduation centerpiece ideas, what exactly are some of the things to put in a graduation party centerpiece? Graduation centerpieces are a way to individualize your party depending on the theme. 

For example, if your theme is boho, maybe you want to make the centerpieces floral focused, or if the theme is glam, then perhaps something glittery and black and gold is more on brand. 

Regardless of the theme, here are some ideas for what to put in a graduation party centerpiece: 

  • A color scheme that matches the school graduation colors
  • Flower arrangements (can we faux or real flowers)
  • Balloons
  • Photos through the years of the graduate
  • Decor featuring the graduation year

In this post, we show you the most popular and gorgeous graduation centerpiece ideas that you can copy at your party. From simple graduation centerpieces to mason jars, faux flowers, or the real deal - we’ve got you covered with stylish ideas at every price point.

This post shows you graduation party centerpieces perfect for your graduation party.

Plants make any party decoration look elegant and trendy. This centerpiece uses some fake succulents, which are especially popular right now. These are super easy and affordable! 

There are SO many different ways to incorporate both real and faux plants into your centerpieces. Clay pots give a more earthy and boho vibe. Cacti and succulents are also beautiful options for real plant centerpieces. You could also buy artificial succulent arrangements too.

13. GRADUATION BALLOON CENTERPIECES

What is a better way to have a celebratory atmosphere than balloons?! They’re so festive and fun, and there are so many different ways to style them as a graduation centerpiece. 

My favorite ways to make graduation balloon centerpieces are a horizontal arrangement, confetti wand style, or a specific item on the balloons like fruit! You can also easily incorporate school colors into the color schemes.

Here’s another fun graduation centerpiece idea for boys - this is sports themed and super easy to DIY. Buy peanuts in bulk and make or buy banners of their favorite sports teams. 

I love how they used bar-style glassware to really hit the sports bar theme home - pun intended 😉 You could also stock up on simple vases from the dollar store as an alternative.

    I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something concerning this.
