Graduation season is around the corner, and PFEM knows that if you’re planning a party for the Class of 2025, you’ll want to make it unforgettable! This year, trends are all about personalization, immersive experiences, and social-media-worthy moments. Here’s what’s hot for graduation parties in 2025.
AI-Powered Photo Booths & 360° Video Stations
Gone are the days of simple backdrops—graduates want interactive photo experiences! AI-enhanced photo booths that generate fun effects and 360° video stations that capture every angle are must-haves.
Themed Grad Bashes
Personalization is everything! Popular themes include:
🎓 “The Future is Bright” – Neon lights, glow-in-the-dark décor, and futuristic vibes.
✈️ “Grad’s Travel Adventure” – Decor inspired by places the graduate wants to explore.
🎭 “Hollywood Red Carpet” – A VIP experience with a glam dress code and awards-style speeches.
Custom Drink & Food Stations
DIY food and drink bars continue to be popular. Think bubble tea stations, gourmet taco bars, and dessert charcuterie boards. Mocktail bars with signature drinks named after the grad are a fun touch!
Memory Walls & Digital Guestbooks
A creative way to celebrate memories is by setting up a memory wall with photos, notes, and video messages from friends and family. Digital guestbooks where guests can record video messages are replacing traditional sign-in books.
Live Entertainment & Performances
From hiring DJs and live bands to setting up karaoke stages, entertainment is a big focus in 2025. Some grads are even bringing in comedians, magicians, or dance crews for extra excitement.
High-Tech Party Favors
Forget basic party favors—tech gadgets like custom phone stands, mini projectors, and personalized LED keychains are trending. QR codes linking to a graduation slideshow or playlist are a cool digital touch.
With these trends, the Class of 2025 is sure to celebrate in style! What’s your favorite graduation party trend this year? Please contact us at 636.875.3215 or [email protected] to save your date.
