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!

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

    Can I simply say what a relief to find a person that actually knows what they are discussing on the web. You certainly realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. A lot more people need to look at this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular because you most certainly have the gift.
