Graduation Poster Boards
These poster boards are casual in that the unmatted photos are placed on the boards in a haphazard, crooked way with some photos overlapping others. The boards are dressed up with die cut words & letters at the top. Most scrapbooking stores will let you use their die cuts if you buy the cardstock there. They all have letter die cuts and many have graduation and/or congratulatory messages. The salespeople at the store will help you if you haven’t used die cuts before.
For these die cut letters & words, two sets were cut. One in gold and one in maroon which were the colors of the grad’s college. The maroon letters were placed on the boards first. The gold letters were then placed on top, shifted a little so some of the maroon showed through on the left hand side and top of each letter or word, creating a shadow effect.
The photos were placed on the boards in a chronological order with baby pictures on the right hand side and graduation pictures on the left.
By graduationparty, on January 24th, 2009% Graduation Banners are a great way to honor your grad or group of grads or to honor a graduating class.
There are personalized banners, one photo banners, multiple photo banners, horizontal banners, vertical banners, photo standees, posters and wall graphics.
Go to GraduationParty.com’s Banners webpage to see some examples of styles, sizes and prices. More than 50 different styles with up to 1-10 sizes for each style are available. Traditional banner sizes range from 18″ x 54″ (1.5 feet high x 4.5 feet long) to 72″ x 216″ (6 feet high x 18 feet long) and prices start as low as $14.79.
Graduation banners can be personalized and customized a number of ways – by adding your own text, by using your own photo(s) and, in some cases, by picking your own colors.
You can hang your graduation banner outside or inside. If you want to hang it outside, look for strong, weather resistant banners that can withstand wind and rain.
If you’re having a joint party with two or more grads then consider having a banner for each grad or, for a more economical option, have one banner for all the grads. Simply include all their names and, if it’s a photo . . . → Read More: Graduation Banners

Collage Poster
For high school and college graduation parties many people create and display graduation poster boards or tri-fold boards filled with pictures of the grad and his or her family and friends.
Instead of creating a poster board why not create a poster – a single photo poster or a collage poster. These are especially good options if you have a lot of digital photos and not a lot of time. Most online photo processors offer posters and many local photo labs do too.
Multiple poster sizes are available from 11″x14″, 12″x18″, 16″x20″, 20″x30″ and up. Prices are fairly reasonable especially when you consider the cost (and time) involved in creating a poster board – the cost of the poster board itself, printing and/or copying photos, colored mats for the photos and other embellishments.
If you decide to create a poster make sure the quality (ie: resolution) of your photo(s) is very good. The bigger the poster, the better the photo resolution should be. A small photo may appear to be clear but if the resolution is too low the picture on the poster may print grainy especially when it’s enlarged. The lower the resolution and the . . . → Read More: Graduation Posters – An alternative to poster boards
By graduationparty, on September 30th, 2008% Tri-fold presentation or foam boards are great for displaying photos at your graduation party. They come in a variety of sizes and a few different colors. Bigger ones are better (36″ x 48″ is the best size) as they will hold the most photos. Tri-fold boards can be purchased at any office supply store like Office Depot or Office Max.
Tri-fold Graduation Photo Board
Most people make one tri-fold graduation board but you can make more if you want. The key is to collect and organize the pictures you want first. Choose fun (and clear) pictures that represent key events in your grad’s life. Once you have your photos selected you’ll have a better idea of how many tri-fold boards you will need. Of course you don’t have put all your photos on tri-fold boards. You could create one tri-fold board and then display the remaining photos in other ways – on regular poster boards, in scrapbooks or under clear plastic tablecloths on your tables. Most people put most of their photos in scrapbooks or photo albums and only keep out enough unique pictures to create one fun and creative tri-fold board.

By graduationparty, on June 21st, 2008% The most popular way to display pictures at a graduation party is to use poster boards. Tri-fold presentation poster boards are the biggest and easiest to display because they stand up. Or you can use more decorative poster boards like those sold at GraduationParty.com. These are good to use if you want to hang them on a wall.
Some people make one poster board with a variety of pictures and other people make two or three or four poster boards. If you use multiple poster boards you can display a variety of pictures on each one or you can “organize” them somehow. One poster board could be childhood pictures, another could be sports or clubs, a third could be senior year, another could be family, and so on.
There is no right or wrong way to create a poster board. Anyone can do it. You can make your poster board(s) fancy by using scrapbooking techniques – mat each photo, add embellishments, include the graduate’s name, etc. If you mat the photos use your favorite colors or your high school or college colors. If you use embellishments use things that are relevant for the grad – graduation, sports, activities, and . . . → Read More: Pictures on Poster Boards
By graduationparty, on June 20th, 2008% Displaying pictures at your Graduation Party is the number one thing to do. School pictures, senior year pictures, childhood pictures, graduation pictures, family pictures, team pictures, any kind of pictures. The more pictures the better!
Displaying pictures gives people something to do and something to talk about. It brings back memories and allows people to reminisce.
There are many, many ways to display all the pictures you’ve accumulated over the years.
Traditional scrapbooks are very popular. These can be very, very fancy or very simple depending on your scrapbooking skills and how much time you have or want to put into it. Scrapbooks are nice because they last forever and are something you can start well in advance of your party. If you’re already a scrapbooker then you probably have your favorite place to go for supplies. If you’re just a beginner then a great way to get started is to buy scrapbook page packs at your local scrapbooking store. These are prepackaged scrapbook supplies that include themed scrapbook paper and embellishments. Scrapbooking supplies are also available online at GraduationParty.com.
Digital photo books are a great alternative for people who don’t like to scrapbook or who don’t have the time. There are many online . . . → Read More: Displaying Pictures at your Graduation Party
