By graduationparty, on February 12th, 2009% Graduation is the perfect time to create a personal DVD for your grad using photos and home videos. DVD’s can be played on your TV or computer during the graduation party and then kept as a beautiful and timeless keepsake after. Once the first DVD is created, copies are very inexpensive to create so you can keep a copy for yourself and give copies to grandparents or other close family members.
The simplest and easiest DVDs contain photos only. The photos must be digital so printed, non-digital photos must be scanned first. You can scan them yourself if you have a computer and a scanner. Just make sure you pick good quality photos and that you scan them at the highest resolution and biggest size possible. The higher the resolution, the bigger the size and the better the quality. Scanning photos yourself is labor intensive so make sure you leave yourself lots of time to do this especially if you have a lot of photos.

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
