Every grad party needs some fabulous photo props for their guests to take pictures with! Your guests will love taking their picture with these fun 36″ big head cutouts from Shindigz.
I love the ones with the graduation cap, but another great idea is to use pictures from several ages. How fun to take pictures with the graduate as a baby, toddler, or an awkward middle-schooler.
Bonus – you can hold these up at graduation to delight (embarrass?) your grad!
Oversized Graduation Party Background
A photo booth is both a fun activity that your guests will enjoy, and the props and background make wonderful decorations.

Snapchat will need to approve your filter (and it will cost about $5). Get the scoop here.
Graduation Party Yard Sign
Let everyone know how proud you are of your grad with a festive yard sign. It’s also a great way to let your guests know that they’ve found the right house!
