Giving graduation favors is one of the most joyful things that can be done by the hosts at the graduation party. Of course you don’t need to give the graduation favors at the end of the party, you can indeed give them right at the beginning as they form part of the things guests need to enjoy the party. That can be the case if you are doing something like giving Lei and Tiki masks as part of a Hawaiian party. However for the graduation party hosts, going round the party guests at the end of a great night giving out graduation favors feeling all relaxed and happy as it has been successful is a good place to be. The culmination of all your months of hard work, big efforts, keeping focussed as the party goes on and making sure everyone is having a great time come when you finally relax and hand out the party favors. There may even be a sense of satisfaction at a job well done and a happy ending to the party. You will also be delighted at how grateful your guests are that you thought tem so special that you bought them a gift. The feel good factor will be very high for you and your guests. Of course it is likely that you will have apportioned a good part of your party budget to graduation favors and you will have hunted high and low to get ones that you feel are excellent given the type of party that you are throwing. You do want your guests to be delighted with their favors and maybe your purpose is to make sure they use them for a long time. Alternatively you may have some fun favors in mind and expect them to use the glow sticks, balloons and eat the cake quite quickly. No matter which route you go, the first thing to do is set a budget and work out what that will roughly mean you have to spend on each guest. You may find ways of buying in bulk, buying well from auction sites or even buying very early to take advantage of sales which will improve your graduation favors or even save you money. Once you have the budget you can go about getting the right favors.
For example, you are having a small graduation party at a restaurant for family and close friends. You decide to make the restaurant and graduation the theme for the favors. For the graduation side you can give personalised tribute to the graduate like buttons, photo frames, notebooks and pens. In terms of the restaurant you may give gift certificates for a meal. You may also give a recipe book for their food, cooking tips from their head chef and they may also have a range of merchandise that you can choose from. The restaurant merchandise could be t-shirts, aprons, chef’s hats and even some cooking utensils.
If you are having a garden party then you can give things related to the garden such as plants, flowers, umbrellas, gardening gloves and other gardening equipment. Like many other graduation party themes there will be obvious graduation favors. However you must recognise that the graduate and their friends will be more interested in current DVDs, CDs, movie tickets, PC games and trendy clothing. So you do need to factor that in to your graduation favors purchasing. Graduation Favors can be just right if you put a little thought into them
