My lovely husband graduated with his Master's a couple weeks ago (YAY!!!). On the same day, the husband of a friend graduated as well. We decided to throw them a joint surprise party to celebrate. As anyone who has graduated college or had a spouse graduate knows, funds are quite low. The budget we set was a grand total of $20 for decorations. I am happy to report that we came in at $11. We planned for the party to be mid afternoon so we wouldn't need to serve a meal and we served finger food desserts so that we wouldn't need forks or plates. Below are the results.
List of Materials:
Ribbon from the stash
Plastic table cloth from the dollar store
Cups, Balloons and Napkins from Zurchers
Borrowed Table
Borrowed Water Jug
Desserts:
Store-bought Snickerdoodles and Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Cookie Butter Rice Krispies
Cheesecake Cupcakes with Berries
We threw the party at a local park near a playground, which was great because the kids just played while the adults chatted. We didn't reserve it or anything, just set up between two trees. It was great! Also, if you are wondering about the dowls on each side of the table, my big idea was to string the balloons and another row of fringe between them but it was too windy, so we opted just for the balloons between the trees.
