How to Virtually Celebrate Graduation

 

When you imagined your graduation at the beginning of the school year, you probably thought about all the parties, your cap and gown, and final goodbyes between you and your bffs – nothing like the reality we’re facing now. But that doesn’t mean you all can’t still celebrate virtually on FaceTime or Zoom! In fact, we’re going to make sure you do with a how-to including fun downloadables and an exclusive discount. Get all our tips for the perfect virtual graduation celebration below!


Send Out Your Invite 

We created a template for you to post on your Instagram Stories to your Close Friends. Just fill in the details, post, and wait for the RSVPs to roll in! (We know a group text would work too, but isn’t this more fun?) Download the template here.

Plan the Party

We put together a questionnaire (which is also the perfect size for sharing to Instagram Stories!) to help you all reflect on your time at school together. Share your answers and be prepared to laugh, remember, and maybe even cry (in a good way). Another idea? Spread joy through an affirmation circle! Have each attendee share what they appreciate about another, and everyone will leave with good vibes. Download the questionnaire here and then make sure you use our festive Zoom background below!

Pick Out Your Outfit

We know t-shirts and yoga pants have been the norm as of late, but now’s the time to dress up! Do your hair, put on some makeup, grab your favorite dress – and of course, you can’t forget to accessorize. Need some ideas? A statement will stand out on video calls, you can show your spirit through your school colors, and we love a layered look curated just for the occasion.

Listen to Kendra’s Commencement Speech

You did it! Now hear some words of celebration and encouragement from Kendra (and a story about a time everyone thought she’d lost her mind).

SEND OUT CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR GRADS

Is it just us, or do you love seeing that red notification number show that you have a new text? We’ve been taking time to connect with friends near and far, and we know that something as simple as an encouraging text message can brighten someone’s day. With that said, we’ve taken the traditional text message and Kendra-fied it! Compose a beautiful celebratory text, include one of our graphics below as an image in your text, and you’re well on your way to being to being the Valedictorian (in our eyes, that is! 😉). P.S. If you’re using an iPhone, hold down on the arrow button before sending, swipe to “Screen,” select “Confetti,” and you’ll get an extra fun surprise with your text.

Share the Fun on Instagram!

Let all your followers join in the celebration! We created a template for you to share on your Instagram Stories, so everyone knows just how bright your future is. Download template here.
