Graduation is an exciting time for students, family and friends to come together to celebrate the milestone of completing school. Capturing precious memories and messages of love and support in a guest book is one way to commemorate this important occasion. With new and unique ideas for graduation guest books, the 2023 season is sure to bring a special touch to this tradition by offering a variety of options to branch out from the traditional pen-and-paper guestbook. For example, thoughtful message jars allow guests to drop anonymous notes of love and support into a jar which can be read and reread throughout the years. On the other side of the spectrum, interactive photo booths allow for capturing special memories with friends and family in photos from the day along with writing messages to commemorate the party. If you prefer a more traditional approach, creative scrapbooks include drawings, paintings, and writings on pages that can be personalized with pictures or other memorabilia from the event.
How to make your graduation party stand out
Thoughtful message jars are a fun and creative way to capture the love and support of family, friends, and colleagues at graduation events. Guests can drop written messages into the jar that can be reread over the years as the graduate looks back on their special day. This is an interactive activity that facilitates meaningful conversations between those who attend. Benefits of using a message jar include preserving memories in a tangible way while also offering hope, inspiration, and motivation to the guest of honor in their future endeavors. To create a message jar, choose a decorative container with a lid where guests can drop notes with pens or markers during graduation festivities. Examples of messages to put in the jar might include congratulations for all their hard work, words of encouragement, and wishes for the future. 
If the written word is not your thing, interactive photo booths are an exciting way to capture lasting memories from graduation events. Guests can take fun photos with props or masks while also writing special messages on posters or boards as part of their memory-making experience from the day. Benefits of using a photo booth include providing an outlet for creativity and allowing guests to express themselves in meaningful ways. To create a photo booth, choose an area in open space and provide props such as masks, hats, or other fun items for guests to use in the photos.
Creative scrapbooks are a great way to capture memories from graduation events in a unique and lasting way. Guests can draw, paint, or write on pages that can be personalized with pictures from the event, favorite quotes, and other memorabilia. Benefits of using a scrapbook include providing guests with an outlet for their creativity and honoring the graduate’s special milestone. To create a scrapbook for the 2023 graduation season, select quality paper and choose colors that complement the graduate’s school colors. Examples of items to include might be autographs from family members or friends, notes written by those attending the party, images captured during the festivities or other mementos such as movie tickets or ribbons. However, the major drawback to a creative scrapbook is the amount of time and energy needed beforehand to ensure it looks personal and unique. For those looking for a handmade alternative to making a scrapbook themselves, Havoly offers a variety of products perfect for the occasion, including cutout graduation guestbooks and ‘caps off’ graduation guestbooks.
