Graduation Party Tips & Tricks

Graduation is a major life milestone that deserves plenty of recognition, and a graduation party is a perfect way to celebrate the occasion with family and friends. Whether the party celebrates a recent grad or accepted student, M&M’S® candies has personalized party favors and customized gifts that will make the moment all the more memorable.

Let’s take a look at a few fun ways you can incorporate M&M’S candies into your graduation party!

Personalization: Give your guests something sweet to nibble on throughout the party with Personalizable M&M’S Bulk Candy. Choose up to three M&M’S colors, add text, graduation-themed clip-art like 'magna cum laude' or 'class of 2022', and even add a special photo! Personalize based on your grad's favorite colors, school colors, or even team colors. The options are endless! Tip: serve the personalized M&M’S candies in large glass apothecary jars with metal scoops so guests help themselves.

Don’t forget about dessert: A celebratory cake or tray of cupcakes are traditional ideas you can complement with other selections, such as a colorful M&M'S candy bar with personalized M&M'S or pre-designed "Class of 2022" M&M'S, to add some variety. Be sure to purchase dessert plates, napkins, and flatware that matches the party’s color scheme for a coordinated look.

Organize party favors: One way to thank guests for honoring your graduate and inspire even more moments of fun making it a day to remember is by offering a favor that doubles as a memento of the event. For example, Personalizable M&M’S Class of 2022 Graduation Favor Tins are a perfect way to send guests home with a sweet reminder of the celebration. Each stylish tin can be customized with a lid design, a message for guests, and be filled with a delicious serving of personalized M&M’S candies that match the party’s theme.

Accommodate Gifts: You can set up an attractive gift table with a gift of your own to discreetly show guests where to place gifts when they arrive, such as a Personalizable M&M’S Occasion Bottle, which can be personalized to toast your grad. You can personalize the M&M'S however you'd like! Choose up to three M&M’S colors, customize text, clip-art and even add a special photo. 

Let your grad know how proud you are of him or her. Celebrate their success and toast to their future with these sweet graduation party ideas! For more colorful ideas, including customizable gifts and party favors, check out the full M&M’S 2022 Graduation Gift Guide at MMS.com.
