Grad party season!

Planning a graduation party is extremely stressful. I promise you, it pays off in the end!

All the money that you get from your graduation party helps a ton with school. I was so shocked at how much money I had received from my party!

Aside from the greedy money receiving aspect of the party, it is so nice to see all of your family and friends all in one place.

A new trend that I think is absolutely adorable is a vintage theme for graduation parties! I came across the theme idea on pinterest and I’m so upset I didn’t think of it for my own party.

This post shows you 11 vintage graduation party ideas you need to know!

Vintage Graduation Party Ideas

1. Sign a Globe

At graduation parties that don’t have a vintage theme, you usually see a large wooden letter that people sign. I love this spin (no pun intended) on that to make it vintage!

Have guests sign a vintage globe with sharpie, and enjoy bringing the globe and well wishes with you to college!

2. Overgrown Bicycle

How cute is this idea?

I think this would be a perfect decoration for the entrance of your party.

3. Overgrown Suitcases

This is an amazing idea for a display next to your card box or dessert table.

I love how well this branch of a vintage theme would fit for a traveler, or someone who might be studying abroad the next year.

This is such a cute idea and color combination for center pieces for each table!

I love how the jars are wrapped in a map and finished with the small white flowers.

6. Jar Silverware Holders

This is such a good idea to hold silverware for your guests.

I know most graduation parties have plastic silverware, but I always thought metal silverware was so much more classy and so much better for the environment!

While planning your graduation party, try to think of how much waste you’re creating, and take steps to cut down as much as possible. It truly makes a difference!

7. Wooden Tier Display

8. Book and Mug Centerpiece

Books at my wedding?  Perfect I think.

Stacks of old books on a burlap table runner makes a perfect centerpiece!

This picture shows a lot of centerpieces along the table, but I would recommend just doing one per table for a graduation party.

Old books might seem like they’re hard to find, but a thrift store or better yet a used book store usually has tons that fit this theme.

9. Refreshment Container

This is such a great idea for serving refreshments, and I think the mason jar dispenser is a wonderful vintage spin on a classic drink dispenser.

Notice the paper straws that match the drink perfectly on the left hand side of the picture?

If you’re going to have straws at your graduation party please have paper straws, and I think paper straws are so much more cute than plastic straws anyways!

10. Map Letters

These letters punched out of map paper are perfect for creating a large banner!

String your banner across an entrance, against a palette full of pictures, or even to label a dessert table.

11. Metal Bucket Utensil Holders

Organizing metal forks, spoons, and knives is perfect for a vintage theme, especially in these metal buckets!
