1. Congrats Grad Banner

If you’re looking for a picture-perfect graduation party decoration, this banner is a smart choice. It is 10 feet long and comes with four tassels. You can hang it as a backdrop to your party festivities or include it in your photobooth to allow the guest of honor to capture memories with loved ones as you celebrate the occasion. 

2. Graduation Balloon Bouquet

This is an especially wise investment if you offer helium at your store. It comes with five balloons that are helium-ready. You’ll get one balloon that is the centerpiece of the bouquet. You can choose from three options: emoji, round or star. Each will showcase the occasion and serve as a great way to decorate when celebrating a graduation. All five balloons included are foil, making them a bit more elegant and fitting for the occasion. 

3. Vinyl Graduation Banner

You might think another banner is not necessary when you’re already offering the 10-foot graduation banner. But having various options helps the party planner work with various spaces and party atmospheres. This banner measures 4 feet by 6 feet. It’s useful too because it’s good for indoor and outdoor parties. It features holes on all four corners for ease of hanging.

4. Graduation Photography Frame

Graduation parties are often on different days and even different weekends than the day that the individual gets their degree. That means that friends and family likely didn’t see the occasion itself. Framing a photo of the guest of honor walking across the stage and receiving their degree is a fun way to share the occasion with party guests.

This graduation photography frame is 31 x 20 inches and made from EVA foam. It makes it easy to share a large copy of the graduation photo. 

Or, use the frame in your photo booth to make for fun photos at the party.

5. Mylar Balloon Banner

These balloons are not designed for helium. You can stock them in gold or silver. The pack includes string to make them easy to hang at a party. Hang them anywhere to create a party atmosphere.

6. Table Covering

One of the best staples to stock is rolls of table covering. These are great for any party type, meaning you’ll have customers returning for them regularly. Rolls are 100 feet long, allowing customers to cover many tables with the same roll. You might even find event venues visiting your store for this valuable party supply item. You can get it in many colors, but if you’re stocking it for graduation events, you might just stock white and black. Or add your local high school’s colors to the mix to show your school spirit.

7. Themed Balloon Garland Kit

Make it simple for your customers to make their own balloon garland with a graduation theme. The kit comes with a variety of balloon types, including an emoji balloon. This is the perfect backdrop for a party and an ideal DIY party decoration. It comes with everything a person will need to build the garland.

Balloon garlands are growing in popularity as people see on social media how their friends and family decorate for parties and keep getting more elaborate. While building a garland takes time, it’s a popular focal point for a party.

8. Round Polyester Fabric Table Cover

If you want to help your customers create a fancier atmosphere, you can also stock polyester table covers. While the table cover rolls offer a staple that many people will come to your store for, they are for more casual celebrations. Some people go all out for graduation celebrations and will want a more decorative appearance. 

These table coverings are also reusable, making them ideal for party venues. You can market your store wares to commercial customers if you stock items like this.
