Graduation Decorations Your 2024 Grad Will Def Post on Their TikTok
One day, they’re toddling off with a fresh pack of crayons in their backpack. Then, suddenly, you’re sending graduation party invitations and wondering if they’re saying “No cap” because graduation caps aren’t a thing anymore. (They are. Just accept that you, too, said phrases that confused your parents back in the day.)
While grad parties complete with balloons in their school’s colors, banners with their name/graduation year, and cap decor galore remain popular, more and more, we see people on TikTok, Instagram and Pinterest getting extra-credit creative with their graduation decorations. Here’s what we expect to see all over the grad party scene this year!
