Heather's Graduation Party

The graduate herself and our cousin, Joel

Graduation party for 150 guest?!?!?!?!? Me panic never... okay maybe a little but then I started to get excited for the great challenge. What would we eat? what would we do for entertainment? Where would we sit? then the ideas started to flow.... My awesome husband the handyman that he is built a 60' x 40' pergola/ arbor for our wedding two years ago. The perfect location for this lovely event.

The food was AWESOME...... tri tip, made by my mom (simply delicious), potatoe salad made by my aunt Sandy (best ever), rice pilaf and macaroni salad made by my aunt Mel (also best ever)
and a green salad bar with about every topping you could imagine..... a lot of team work and the food turned our wonderfully.

Here the guests are enjoying the GREAT food...

Favors were zebra striped cello bags filled with tattoos, a squirt gun, pop rocks candy (to match her rockstar theme), and custom "I heart HP" buttons.

A fun alternative to advice cards, I purchased a photo box , cut a slit, made a sign and created serveral different cards for guests to fill out. Each card had a different fill in the blank line. ("If i could give you anything in the world it would be_____________________________"). Just kinda different from the usual leave your best piece of advice for our graduate.

To go with the theme I made a guitar cake; strawberry cake with chocolate frosting.

For a unique twist, I designed a banner to sign instead of a guest book. It came out beautifully.

More posts on this party to come.... stay tuned!
