whoa boy what a week!
it all started with this graduation celebration party
i had for my kids using
oriental trading company supplies.
(gotta love oriental trading company!)
i made a bunch of desserts as you can see
and used supplies like those giant
2017 yard number picks
that i didn't use for the yard (lol).
here are a couple close up pics
if you care to see:
these are favor boxes.
they have peppermint patties in them
with a grad sticker
inside gold and black stripe boxes.
i got some cupcake toppers
that i used and removed the sticks
to get the decorative fans that i glued
to the top of the boxes.
the gold boxes with the sticker embellishments
i had to get last minute
from michael's cuz i had more guests
coming to the party the last minute.
as you can see,
i placed the favor boxes on this
cute graduation stand that
i also got from oriental trading:
ok next up are some dessert details.
after decorating some sugar cookies
with my kids' initials and making
some brownie bite grad hats,
i also made some easy pecan phyllo tarts
and topped them with "class of 2017" picks.
you get 72 picks in a box but heck
i didn't make 72 tarts or it would be
2018 when i got done (lol).
you can see how i made those
here i just bought a caramel butterscotch cake
at our local grocery and topped them
with some grad picks.
and behind the cake is some crazy fondue
concoction with way too many fondue options! lol
and for the centerpieces,
i used these awesome celebration flags
to give them great height.
(you can see the diy graduation diploma centerpieces post here)
i would show you more but i gotta get
ready for some more celebrating.
i can't skip this event cuz it's the
actual graduation ceremony!
so hopefully you were inspired to have
a grand graduation celebration party
of your own when the time comes
for those smarty pants.
here are some links to some of the
oriental trading company supplies i used:
remember, whatever pants you are wearing,
to me you are oh-so-smart!
for this review i was provided the party supplies free of charge by Oriental Trading Company.
no other type of compensation was received for this review and i provided my own 100& honest opinion..
