Garland banners are such an easy way to decorate graduation party tables and candy buffets. With a little creativity, you can brighten up your party space even further by incorporating these 3 creative uses for garland banners! Keep reading to see how we used this personalized Chalkboard Cheers garland banner to accent a recent graduation party.

Creative Use #1: Show everyone just how excited you are for the graduate’s “bright” future by stringing light bulbs from clear fishing wire, then hanging the bulbs alongside your garland banner letters.

Creative Use #2: Instead of stringing each banner letter on the included satin ribbon, string the letters individually from clear fishing wire and stagger them in an uneven pattern. The resulting display will add even more interest to a candy buffet table!

Creative Use #3: Don’t hang your garland banner at all – instead, tape individual letters to wooden sticks or striped straws, then place each stick into a bowl of candy or other treats. Although we do not have a photo to show off this fun idea, we promise that it’s adorable!
