With graduation parties almost coming to a close I noticed a popular trend this year that is relatively new. Instead of having cards to sign or big posters, graduates have their favorite children’s book open and people can sign the book or write their notes in there.
I think this is an awesome idea as a reader. Books are always something I will keep and it would be so cool to read my favorite children’s book and read all of things people had to say. A book can fit more signatures and notes than picture board or poster. Also, books last longer than cards anyway and some graduates pick out a book that is somewhat related to adventure or life after high school. A popular book for parties this year has been Oh, The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss.
My only problem is that I wouldn’t know which book to pick. There are so many to chose from. This idea is so cool, it could be used for any kind of party. Grad parties, moving away parties, birthdays, weddings, etc. Maybe in some small way this could even spark people’s interest in reading.
What do you think of this idea? Is this something you would do for your grad party or if you’ve already graduated do you wish this was something you had done?
