3 Grad Party Ideas That Will Get You Major Props

School's (almost) out for the summer and it's time to celebrate! As you plan your scholarly shindig, you'll want to make sure you not only have great food, drinks, and music, but also some interactive entertainment to keep your guests engaged, and a way to capture the memories too! Here are some grad party ideas that will get you major props from your peers:

Book a photo booth.

Bring your classmates closer together as you celebrate the end of the school year! Add a TapSnap photo booth to your grad party and give your guests a fun and engaging way to interact. Capture the memories from your celebration with a top-of-the-line photo booth, and your guests can share the shenanigans online by email or through social media. Create backgrounds and digital props that match your party's theme, and add your own hash tag or monogrammed graphic to make the experience truly unique. Not only will your guests be able to snap and share their photos, but they can print them off and take them home as keepsakes!

Give them a sweet sendoff.

Set up a celebratory candy bar to satisfy that sweet tooth. Include grad-worthy treats such as "grad rings" (ring pops), and decorate the table in your school colours or to match your party's theme. Have your treat table available for the duration of your party, or add cute treat bags and encourage your guests to take some treats on the go!
