Costumes/Dress Attire

Give out fun 2008 sunglasses for all the kids to wear, and a crown for the special graduate.

Guests love to get together and just talk- so remember not to overdo the planned activites. Here are a few to choose from:

*Guests bring a white t-shirt and sign each each other's shirts.
*Do a time capsule with memorable items from their college years- to be opened at a future reunion. Guests place personal notes to the graduate as memorable keepsakes.
*Make a large poster board collage of the graduate's pictures from baby to now.
*Water balloon toss
*Pinata
*Place a sticker on each guest's back with the name of a professor. Guests give clues and help the person guess the professor.
*Pin the tail on the professor. Tape a professor's picture to a wall and then the "tail" can be any item of choice- crazy hair, earring, etc.

Music

Play the graduates favorite music or choose a graduation party mix.

Food & Drink

Nachos served in miniature sombreros and salsa are great to have on each table. Any finger food works well, since guests are more interested in talking and socializing.
