Graduation Party Supplies
For an interesting twist with party themes take the Graduation
Party Supplies mixed with another theme creating a unique
event. Graduation parties are a great way to celebrate the mark of a new beginning. Have an Aloha theme for your graduation party. Take off the cap and put on a lei. People exchange their robes for Hawaiian shirts and get tropical drinks with little umbrellas sticking out of them. Let the graduate walk across fake hot coals as a symbol of their transition into adulthood. Use bright colors for balloons like green, pink, blue, orange, and yellow. Make your Theme
party original!

Pastry Puffs
1/2 c. water 1/2 c flour
1/4 c. butter 3 eggs
Pplace water and butter in a medium saucepan, heat until
water boils and the butter is melted. remove from the heat and
dump in the flour all at once. stir vigorously until the flour
mixture forms an elastic ball in the saucepan. let the dough
mixture cool, and then beat in an egg until it is fully
incorporated into the dough mixture. repeat the process with
each of the remaining eggs, beating them into the dough, one at a
time.
Place the dough in the refrigerator to cool, for at least 45
minutes to 1 hour. this will stiffen the dough, so it will not
flatten when baked into puffs or profiteroles.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to a hot 475 degrees f.
using a couple of teaspoons, scoop small (large walnut sized)
mounds of dough on a greased cookie sheet. place cookie sheet in
the hot oven for 10 minutes. then reduce the heat to 325 degrees
f. and continue baking for an additional 25 - 30 minutes, or till
puffs are a medium brown color. the puffs must remain in the
oven for the full baking time, or they will collapse soon after
being taken from the oven.
After cooling, the tops may be removed with a sharp knife,
any remaining uncooked dough may be removed from the inside, and
the puffs may be filled with any appetizer filling or desert
filling desired. I make these up for my Oktoberfest celebrations, but they are good for just about any party. An easy filling is cold, heavy whipped cream.

Having a graduation party for your high school or college graduate will be a lot of fun. You can have it at a public venue like a hall, park, or restaurant, or a private home. The theme will be, of course, Graduation, but you could have a sub theme like the colors of the school or even a luau party. Try sending out the invitations on scrolls like little diplomas and use calligraphy. You could decorate with balloons, streamers, and flowers. When they arrive, give each guest a plain white tee shirt and then have them sign each other's shirts as a keep sake. A fun activity might be to play pin the mustache on the teacher, or if it's warm outside, water balloon toss. Party favors will make great prizes and these could be graduation hats, fake diplomas etc. Food for teeners is easy as they will eat almost anything but finger foods work best like: hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, chips and dips. Have a chocolate fountain and watch the fun or even a dessert island where guests can create their own extravagant desserts. Graduation cup cakes will be a favorite and top them off with chocolate scrolls or grad hats.
