Senior night only happens once. For our football seniors, we wanted every player and every mom to walk away with something they'd keep.

Gifts for 40 seniors. A bouquet for every one of their moms. Here's how we pulled it off.

The Moms' Bouquets

This was the heart of it. Green and white hydrangeas, cream roses, and little white daisies, prepped and laid out on the kitchen island, then bundled one by one and tied with raffia. Simple, fresh, and easy to carry onto a field.

The leftovers became two centerpieces in the same palette, with a single blue hydrangea for a little team color.

The Candy Leis

Every senior got a candy lei. They're cheaper than flower leis, they hold up for days, and teenage boys will actually eat them.

Fill a length of candy lei netting with candy, one piece at a time. We used Tootsie Rolls and lollipops.
Tie off between each piece with curling ribbon.
Curl the ribbon ends with scissors for volume.
Tie the two ends together into a loop.

Set up an assembly line. It goes fast with a few extra hands.

The Framed Family Photos

Each family got a framed photo. It's the gift that lasts long after the season ends.

The Gift Bags

Everything went into navy and gold gift bags with navy tissue, lined down the dining table and ready to load into the car. Navy and gold looks polished in a group, and the tissue comes in the pack.
