Graduation Soda Float Party and #ShareaCokeContest Trip for 2!
Friends! Today I’m hosting a #ShareaCokeContest giveaway for ONE winner (2 free air tickets) to fly across the USA to visit family or friends! How exciting is this? Plus, a very fun Graduation Soda Float Party with all the sweet details. (Contest is now closed.)
It has never been easier – or more exciting – to Share a Coke with family, friends, party guests, colleagues and more. This year, Coca-Cola will offer consumers the ability to personalize and purchase iconic eight-ounce glass “Share a Coke” bottles on ShareaCoke.com.
Because Coca Cola knows how important it is to spend time with loved ones during special moments in our lives–whether an out-of-town wedding, a family reunion, a graduation, Father’s Day, a summer barbecue, or even a long weekend with a cross-country friend–this summer could be your chance to connect with that person. Read on to find out how you can win this easy contest!
We are celebrating our daughter’s high school graduation in style–our last child to leave the home, which means we are on our way to empty-nester-land–this year with a Soda Float Party, including 8-ounce bottles of Coca-Cola® personalized with “Abby ’15.”
Abby ’15!
Here’s a big CHEERS to our graduating girl!
Custom order.
These cute custom-ordered “Share a Coke” bottles are so fun! For your next celebration, select or request a name up to 18 characters on the label, and then have them delivered within 7 to 10 business days!
Soda Float Party.
Everyone serves themselves with little mess and stress.
Soda poured onto a delicious scoop of ice-cold ice cream or gelato. The key to a successful soda float station is to start with ice-cold products.
Set-Up.
The basic set-up includes a table, flowers and a tassel garland, a tub for ice to store the ice cream, an ice cream scoop, ice-cold glasses (canning jars work fabulously – mix and match the colors), spoons and straws.
For the Coca-Cola® bottles, remember to leave a bottle opener at this station!
Ice Cream, Gelato, or Sorbet.
Set out a variety of ice creams, gelatos, or sorbets, placing them in one large tub filled with ice. Don’t forget to add in unusual flavors, such as Salted Caramel, or Cookie Butter ice cream.
Abby ’15 Bottles.
Serve Customized Coca-Cola® bottles and chilled glasses to ensure the coldest drink! You can also set out an assortment of sodas, such as root beer, fruity seltzers, and cream soda.
Toppings.
Although toppings aren’t really necessary with a float, some guests may enjoy making a sundae. Set out other toppings such as chocolate, caramel, cookie pieces, and chocolate sprinkles.

We head to the beach and just lay in the sand while the kids play keep away with the waves. Nothing special beyond just being together. Gold Beach is wonderful for that since there’s so many fewer people, we can just hang out and not worry about losing track of kiddos.
We celebrate those special moments so often here in our home- we pray over the gathering, inviting God’s dear Spirit to come and be our guest of honor to meet each heart in a special way so they can go home refreshed! We try to share food and conversation that shows each one HOW SPECIAL they are to us and we are the most blessed of all as hosts :) xoxo
