We ended up having nine little graduates and their families over so I am happy that the weather actually cooperated for us and we could spend the majority of the party outside. One hour after the party was over, the skies darkened, a torrential downpour started, and our power went out. It must have been fate!
I purchased most of the party decorations from Oriental Trading and picked up the graduation sign at Target.
I also found some cute printable tags from Lil Luna and added them to the straws.
Our drink station consisted of lemonade and Connor’s favorite punch {Sprite and raspberry frozen yogurt}
We had the basic snacky party food outside {chips, fruit plate, and veggie plate} but kept the majority of the desserts inside. I decorated the cake with a cute pennant printable that I found over on Paging Supermom.
I also printed a larger one out to decorate the hutch and just added some red scrapbook paper behind it with baker’s twine.
The kids got to take home a “class ring”{ring pops}, some graduation bubbles, some gummy treats, one of the graduation owls, and a graduation beach ball.
I am so glad that Connor had such a great preschool experience and had the chance to meet some wonderful friends. He misses all of his buddies already but is ready for the new challenge ahead {even if his Mommy isn’t!}
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

So cute Jenn! Sentimental times… my daughter graduated from kindergarten in June & starts grade 1 in Sept. Everyone always says “they grow up so fast” but it really is true! Enjoy the next phase!
Jenn, how adorable! Everything looks fabulous! Good luck in September!
Take care,
Trish
oh gosh this gets me all teary eyed LOL my lil man just graduated preschool also! soo bitter sweet, growing up waaaaay to fast 🙂
Great story. My five year old recently graduated from kinder and they had a mobile reptile party where kids got to hold animals. The children even got to pat a crocodile!
We got nice photos as before we know it, the kid’s will be teenagers.
Cute. I glad you made a big deal about it. A lot of parents just shrugged it off, and say good job. Looks like a fun party.
