CSI: Crime Scene Themed Graduation Party

Today was my second cousin's graduation party. She is going to study criminal justice in college and she didn't just want a plain, run-of-the-mill graduation party with the cheap little plastic graduation hat confetti. She wanted something that people would remember....so we came up with the CSI: crime scene themed party!! =) It was soooo fun to plan and decorate for!!!
This was the AMAZING cake that my neice made...I helped a little. I made the cones, the caution tape, & the 'dead body' outline. I think in all it took her about 9 hours. She handmade & colored all the fondant....& the grass took forever!! It feeds 125 people. 

Tashia did such an great job!!! Everyone LOVED it! Oh, & it tasted good too. =)

There were two kinds of centerpieces...

Nancy Drew & Hardy Boy books with biohazard tape around them...& then an item of "evidence" with an evidence tag on each thing. evidence tag download

Notice the trash can in the background. =) haahaa!





I set up a Mug Shot photo booth...people actually really got into it!!




These are some of my personal favorites =)

I printed off foot prints to direct people where the party was located. 
Everyone passed the 'crime scene' as they entered the party hall.


The chocolate fountain was a big hit!!
I caught my family digging into the chocolate fountain...
Well, folks that's a wrap...I've got to log these characters in the books =)
Hope you were able to take a look at my free downloads! =) I trust they will be useful in the planning of your own CSI: crime scene themed party!! =)

  4. Thank you so much for the awesome downloads and how easy it was to print them! My son informed me two days before his big 16th birthday that he wanted a crime scene birthday and i thought it would be impossible to pull off. Your downloads made it so much easier. Thanks again!!!

  7. Glad to know about this event. It looks like a grand party. My sister will throw her graduation party in next year and she has started party planning in advance. She has decided to reserve best Chicago event space from some online service provider.
