The Wardrobe Stylist

Advice on Fashion, Beauty, Fitness, Home Décor & DIY

Your Ultimate DIY Graduation Party Ideas & Checklist

March 11, 2018 · Decor/Craft DIY, Holidays, Home Décor

It’s getting closer and closer to graduation time where you have to start planning for your party, makeup and hair looks, outfit and everything else in between.

One of my family members had hers done last year and it was an all-white theme which was gorgeous , but pity it cost so much money. Obviously, if you’re here today, it’s because you don’t want to drop thousands on a party especially if the next step in your life is university/college/grad school where tuition fees are killer. Fancy doesn’t mean expensive, especially not in my world. In true The Wardrobe Stylist fashion, much of what’s below is an easy DIY project away.

Your Ultimate DIY Graduation Party Ideas
