Graduation Attire


One thing that is bound to give goose bumps to every graduating student is the academic dress. The graduating gown and the graduating caps are the traditional clothes worn on the day of graduation. To ensure that you look your best on this important day and don’t do a faux pas, it is essential to keep the following things in mind. The size of the graduation gown should of the proper size, neither big nor small. Also, make certain that all the accompanying accessories are also present. These include the graduation cap, tassels and honor chords or stoles. Next step is to decide what you will wear beneath your gown. This is important because a part of your leg will be visible below your gown. So, to play safe, a white shirt and a pair of trousers can never go wrong. This can be very helpful, especially when the gown is accompanied by a hood. Otherwise, people sometimes also resort to dresses, but do it at your own risk. On the D-day, iron the gown before wearing it as it is usually wrinkled. Put on your graduation gown in the same way as you would wear a jacket. Then use safety pins to attach the hood to the graduation gown. Finally, wear your honor chords and stoles by draping them around the neck. Place your graduation cap and the tassel as you feel comfortable and you are all set to make a statement.

Graduation Gift Ideas - What to Give at the Grad Party


Graduation is an exciting time of the year, one filled with boundless opportunities and a little well-deserved celebration!
If one of your loved ones is graduating it’s natural to want to throw them a graduation party and to even give them a graduation gift or two. But if you want to really get into the spirit of the season, you will hand out some parting gifts to everyone who attends your party! Consider giving away a few of these graduation gift ideas to make sure everyone feels the love:

  • Vouchers and certificates:  Sure, they may not be the most original or the most personal gifts out there, but if you’re just looking to hand out a lot of items to party guests, you may want to go the general route to make sure everyone ends up with something they like. Buy a handful of certificates from a handful of different establishments and let people pick which they’d like the most, and your guests will leave smiling! 
  •  Decorations for graduation cap tassels: Graduation tassel is a good idea if you’re throwing a graduation party before the actual ceremony takes places. Buy a bunch of tassel decorations, leave them out on a table, and let everyone pick the decoration they like the best! These decorations don’t need to be just for the tassels themselves; you can also offer supplies for graduation cap decoration or items to attach to graduation gown.
  • Meaningful books: Ok, so recent grads just might recoil at the thought of picking up another volume after weeks of cramming for exams and writing end-of-term essays, but the right book will make a great positive impression during this sensitive time in a young person’s life. Pick a piece of fiction that has a strong message, that revolves around "coming of age,"or that merely provides a little insight, perspective, and humor, and don’t be surprised if your guests start sending you “thank you!” emails over the coming weeks!
