Have a firepit at your venue or house where the grad party is being held? This adorable idea for a s’mores station isn’t just another food option, it’s an activity in itself, too! 

Perfect for adults and kids! Everyone will love this interactive food. 

7. Refreshments

Keeping drinks in these containers is much better than an open bowl when having an outdoor party. 

These containers keep bugs out, and are much more functional and very cute compared to a standard bowl! 

8. Cupcake Display
