My daughter will be graduating High school in June so we are planning a huge graduation party. I think I'm more excited about planning this than I was with planning the wedding. After seeing pics of candy stations, my daughter and her friend came up with the idea of a having a candyland theme for the party and want the party to be all about one last time to be a kid before going off to college. We already have ideas on how to decorate for this but we are stuck on how to word the invites. The invitations will be huge lollipops (like at a carnival)with invitation wording on them. We are stuck on how to make a connection between candyland and graduation. We need some catchy phrase/wording. Any suggestions?

"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
Congrats Pamcrow on your daughter's upcoming graduation.
My daughter is graduating also!!!
(Sorry I couldn't help with the wording :-)
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
Thanks Rhony, Congrats to you as well. Isn't it exciting? I can't wait to get my party on for this one. My daughter doesn't want any parents at the party but she might as well get ready to share the dance floor.
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
How about?
Huge lollies and on them the writing of
"Like a kid at a candy store
Join me for one last hurrah!!!"
At(place)
On (date)
Or something like that!!!
Congrats Pamcrow on your daughter's high school graduation. Mine is graduating as well, but she doesn't want a party. Could you imagine that?!!!
Good luck to you both!!!
why dont you think of some of the characters from the game and incorporate them into the invites

Hmmm.. I love graduation parties.. I'll throw out a few ideas.. Candyland huh?
"You're invited to THE CANDY SHOP"
"You're invited to the candyland carnival" (Carnival as in Carnival in Trinidad)
"We've gone from Lollipops to the hat toss"
Hmm ...I could probably keep going but let me know if you like any of these and I'll keep thinking.

Youre invited on a trip Candyland to mark the end of one main course and to celebrate sweet new beginnings with me....

I know that's right! We are having a little something for my daughter as well. She told me "Mom don't be backing it up and embarrassing me". LOL!!!

Congrats to your daughter as well!
Excellent suggestions ladies!

Thanks Ladies for the feedback. Ginoue Congrats to you and your daughter as well.
House not a bad idea. We had planned on scattering pics of characters throughout the room but didn't think on incorporating them on invite.
MzPrize I really like "We've gone from lollipops to the hat toss". That's right in line with what I was looking for. Thanks.
Dreamgurl I really like the sweet new beginnings part.
Maybe we'll use a character from the game and write something like:
We've gone from lollipops to the hat toss.
Please join us as we celebrate sweet new beginnings.
I think I like it. I'll run it pass my daughter to see what she thinks. She's sooooo picky and NEVER without an opinion so it will be interesting to see what she says. I'll let you ladies know but if you have any other suggestions, please keep them coming. I reallly appreciate it.
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
Great suggestions MzPrice2B!!!
Come and join us as we take our final trip down candyland lane. We have gone from lollipops and gum drops to skipping down the lane to celebrate sweet new beginnings. Celebrate with us as we give out the last gum drop pass.
Ok I just had a brain fart. lol sorry it's been a long day. I was trying to add some of the things that you ladies have already said with some of the things from the game.
