The Bed Party trend is turning college acceptances into full-blown celebrations. Families surprise their students by decorating their beds with school-branded gear—creating a vibrant, photo-ready backdrop to announce both acceptance and the decision to attend. Follett is helping bring this moment to life at over 100 campus stores with ready-to-go Celebration Kits that make it easy to show off school spirit in a memorable way. The University of Miami Campus Store recently spotlighted the trend with a dynamic in-store display, inspired by a recent New York Times feature. It’s one more way we support students and their families at the very start of their campus journey—making college feel real, exciting, and worth celebrating. Sonny Ostrander l Teresa A. Thompson, M.
