Cheers to the Grad: How to Style a Celebration Tablescape

Your graduate deserves a celebration as special as they are—and your table is the perfect place to set the tone. Here are three easy ways to inspire and style your graduation party table decor with meaning and personality:

1. Go with School or College Colors
An easy win is to style your table using the graduate’s school or future college colors. Use napkins, runners, candles, or flowers in those shades to set a cohesive look. This works for both casual snacks or a formal graduation dinner.

2. Choose a Fun Celebration Theme
If school colors aren’t your thing, try a playful theme like:

• “Taco ’Bout an Accomplishment"
• “One Smart Cookie”
• “Oh, The Places You’ll Go”
  
  

Add themed signage, matching tableware, and simple centerpieces like cookie jars, tacos, or mini globes.

3. Pick Any Color Scheme You Love and Personalize It
No theme? No problem. Choose colors you love—summer brights, soft neutrals, or festive patterns. Add personal touches like:

• Photos of the graduate
• Advice cards for guests
• Name cards with inspiring quotes
  

Make it easy, meaningful, and uniquely them.
