There are so many options when it comes to what you could do for your grad party centerpieces. These are some of the best to try in 2024 that are sure to impress guests!

This post is all about the best graduation party centerpieces.

1. Floral Centerpiece

Floral centerpieces are always a go-to centerpiece. They look lovely, and you could even use fake flowers if you were wanting to save some money!

2. Disco Ball Centerpiece

This centerpiece idea would be absolutely perfect if you’re planning a retro/ groovy themed graduation party. The disco balls are so unique and would look so nice.

3. Roses With Grad Centerpiece Sticks

You can’t go wrong with a centerpiece like this for graduation! You can add graduation themed centerpiece sticks into pretty much any centerpiece to customize them for a grad party.

4. Wood Slab Centerpiece

Wood slabs are so cute as centerpiece bases. All you have to do is lay one down under your centerpiece decor, and it immediately levels up the whole thing!

5. Book And Teacup Centerpieces

This centerpiece idea would be SO perfect for a book lover! A book stack with a mug on top would be an amazing cheap centerpiece idea. You could go to thrift stores and get the mugs and books to decorate with, and it would be super affordable.

6. Framed Centerpieces

The sky is the limit when it comes to customizing a centerpiece like this for your grad party! You could put a sign in it with future plans like they did in the picture. You could also put pictures of the grad.

7. Pictures Of The Grad Centerpieces

This centerpiece idea would be perfect to do with a “guess the age of the grad” graduation game! You could put pictures of the grad at different ages in every centerpiece, and guests would have to go from table to table guessing how old the grad was in the pictures! You could give the guests with the most right guesses a little prize!

8. Clouds And Stars Centerpiece

A centerpiece like this would be so perfect for a “dreams” themed grad party, like “follow your dreams,” “chase your dreams,” etc!

9. Balloon Centerpieces

Tying helium filled balloons to centerpieces is a way to make the graduation party look super festive! You could match the balloons to the theme colors of the party for a more cohesive look.

10. Cut Fruit Centerpieces

Sale

This is such an adorable idea for a warm weather graduation party. It just screams spring and summer. You could slice the fruit yourself, or you could buy a pack of artificial sliced lemons like this. Another benefit to this if you use real fruit is that it will make everything smell lovely!

11. Grad Cap Centerpieces

Grad cap centerpieces are a great DIY centerpiece idea for graduation parties. You can use construction paper to make the cap to put on the jars.

12. Party Favor Centerpiece

Putting party favors, like candy, in the centerpieces is a clever idea! It would look really cute as well, especially if you choose to do candy like the picture.

13. Glitter Centerpieces

This is another beautiful centerpiece idea that you could do yourself! To recreate it you’ll need some gold glitter and Mod Podge (or whatever glue/ adhesive you have on hand). You’ll put a layer of Mod Podge on the lower half of the jar, and then pour glitter over it.

14. Succulent Centerpiece

This centerpiece idea would be so cute with a succulent graduation theme like I talk about in this post. Plus, the succulents could double as party favors!

15. Major Themed Centerpieces

Matching the centerpieces to whatever the grad majored in is such a cute idea. The one on the left would be perfect for music majors, and the one on the right would be great for education majors!

16. College Themed Centerpieces

A paper lantern centerpiece idea like this would work for both high school and college graduation parties! For a high school graduation, you could make the lantern either the school that they’re graduating from, or the college they’re going to attend. For college, you could do the school they’re graduating from.

17. School Themed Centerpieces With Balloons

This is another school-themed graduation party centerpiece idea that would be really cute! You could match the balloons to the school colors.

18. Adventure Themed Centerpieces

Adventure centerpieces like this with inflatable globes would be amazing for an adventure themed graduation party! To recreate it, you’d attach the globes to wooden dowels.

19. Grad Centerpieces

You really can’t go wrong with a graduation centerpiece like this for graduation parties! It looks so chic.
