Graduation is a milestone in life, the end of a long road of study and the beginning of adulthood.

It′s no wonder it is celebrated in some way by nearly every family of a high school graduate! Some choose a quiet family celebration and some prefer a party of both family and close friends. Whichever style is yours, you′ll want graduation party favors that will make a lasting impression and bring back those fun memories of the day.

Since graduation is a personal triumph, you will probably want favors that reflect your image or your personality. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of choices for personalized favors! With today′s laser technology you can put your photo on nearly anything you choose to make a party favor. Some of the more popular ones are coasters, tins of candy, key fobs, bookmarks and other things that your guest will use. Miniature pewter photo frames with your picture are always a good choice.

Party favors, personalized with your name and date of your graduation, are always a big hit as novelties and keepsakes. You can even choose favors that reflect a sport you excelled in; small basketballs, footballs, miniature hockey sticks can all be personalized. If you′d like to add a touch of elegance to the festivities, you can use tiny, old-style silver diplomas as graduation favors.

Will your party have a central theme, like a beach party or a going-to-college sendoff? Finger towels with your name and graduation date on them make wonderful party favors that your friends and family will use every day. Personalized tea light holders are inexpensive yet will provide years of use and remind the recipient of the fun you all had at your graduation party. Ceramic starfish or dolphins make attractive place card holders if you′re having a semi-formal dinner, and personalized water bottles or water bottle covers are always used and appreciated!

Whatever you choose as party favors, your family and friends will be reminded of that special memory and know that their attendance was appreciated.
