Grad parties galore will soon be here — stand out from the rest of the class with these A+ ideas for personalizing your graduation party.
Make one of the biggest milestones in your grad’s life even more memorable by setting up a photo station. First, put up a basic backdrop — you can use a tassel garland and/or black-and-white striped wrapping paper. Next, add whatever message you want with our free alphabet printable banner. We included every letter so you can spell out “Congrats,” as we did, or customize with the grad’s name or catchphrase. Finally, download our free printable photo props and use hot glue or tape attached to wooden dowels and encourage family and friends to strike a pose! Be sure to get shots with everyone so you can send a photo to each guest in a personalized thank you card.
Went through a lot of hassle for the tassel? Shake it off with celebratory jams! Make a playlist of the grad’s favorite tunes (or follow Evite on Spotify and use our graduation party playlist) and play it as background music — or clear an area for dancing.
Give guests the option to share well wishes or words of advice by collecting notes in a mason jar — just set out slips of paper and a couple of pens with instructions. As an alternative, set out a guest book, have guests take pics on an instant camera, then have them write a quick note on the photo and paste it in the book.
This is a celebration for the grad, so shine a spotlight on favorite memories and accomplishments with a photo wall hanging. Include baby pictures, family pictures and photos from school with friends. To create your own photo wall hanging, tie fishing line to a wooden dowel and tape pictures to it. Then tie a piece of twine to either side of your wooden dowel, attach a removable adhesive hook to the wall and hang.
Cater food from the grad’s favorite restaurant. Offer a variety of options for meat-lovers and vegetarians (we chose a taco salad bar) so guests can customize their own plates.
Before you toast the tassel, start inviting friends and family to your graduation with one of Evite's graduation invitations.

Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
