Among the many vibrant hues seen at commencement ceremonies, one color often flies under the radar: drab, also known as beige. But don't let its subtle tone fool you—this traditional color carries significant meaning and represents one of the most influential fields of study: Business.

From MBAs to marketing, accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship majors, students in business disciplines proudly wear drab stoles to signify their academic journey through one of the world’s most practical and impactful professions.

At graduations across the country, white stoles are proudly worn by students earning degrees in the arts and humanities—including majors such as English, history, literature, philosophy, and more. But have you ever wondered why white is the color that represents these fields of study?

The tradition of graduation stole colors is deeply rooted in academic regalia systems that date back to medieval Europe, and white has long held symbolic meaning—especially within education, creativity, and intellectual discourse.

Introduction

The coronavirus pandemic has brought most events around the world to a halt and pageants are no exception. Many have already been postponed or canceled, while others have made the decision to go virtual. Essentially every system is under a time crunch to crown a winner and get them ready for the next level. This obviously isn’t ideal but is necessary during these uncertain times. After all, who knows if the world will be ready to have a theater open to full capacity anytime soon?

Planning the perfect wedding can be as stressful and frustrating as the amount of money required to make it all happen, so we’re all for ideas that can help take some of the load off the soon-to-be wed couple and save them some money in the process. This is why we’re so excited to share a lesser-known tip we came across to stock the bar of your wedding for pennies on the dollar! In this blog post we’ll tell you how to get the free booze, some fun ideas for themes and games, as well as recommendations to avoid some of the pitfalls that can come with this plan.

Weddings are getting more and more expensive every day, which is why many couples have begun to embrace the idea of a ‘Stock the Bar’ bridal shower or bachelor/bachelorette party. Instead of bringing traditional wedding gifts or things from a registry, guests are encouraged to bring some liquor, bottles of wine, or cases of beer. All that booze can be used to stock the bar at your wedding reception which can save you THOUSANDS on the bar tab. For example, if you have 10 people at your party and each brings two one-liter bottles of liquor that’s roughly 450 drinks for guests you no longer have to foot the bill for!
