Creative Ways to Display Graduation Memories

Memory and Photo Board Ideas for High School Grads

For a small display, you could glue pics and mementos to a ready-made plaque (1) that could sit on the welcome table at the graduation party. For a rustic-themed celebration, a recycled wooden palette (2) would work great adorned with mini burlap bunting bearing the graduate’s name, while photos and keepsakes suspended from tasseled cords on a tree branch (3) would create a boho-chic look.

To welcome guests, consider assembling a photo wreath (4) to grace the entryway to the party venue. Then, as a striking backdrop to a scrapbook table, you could create large photo collages (5) tacked to wooden braces.

Other eye-catching ideas to try would be giant photo-covered cutouts of the graduation year (6) or the graduate’s monogram (7). While if you’re going with a theme that’s special to the graduate, take inspiration from this fashion-motif idea (8) with photos forming the skirt of a dressmaker’s form, or this football-themed memory display (9) complete with memorabilia and a miniature field (see below).
