I am a senior girl getting ready to graduate, and I have never even been to a graduation party. It's not that I'm anti-social, the opposite actually, I've just never been to one. Just a couple graduation dinners.

My mom wants to have a party for me (family appropriate, no beer!), but I really don't know how to go about it, and neither does she. Most of my friends are having open houses, but I don't even really know that that is. My aunt is also graduating high school from the same school, so we are probably going to have one together, but she doesn't really know either. Can someone give me the info on this stuff? What do you do at grad parties, who comes, etc.?

& Personal experience is appreciated over links. Thank you so much!

graduating high school is such a huge thing. im sure your ready to get out of the drama scene. i know i was.

my graduation party was not how i would have liked it to be, but i didnt plan it, so maybe thats why. a lot of my friends threw their own parties that consisted of pretty much only us, and not so much parents. it was a fun time to dress up all cute, and have everyone together under one roof for one last time-- since everyone goes their seperate ways for college and all.

but mine, my mom planned out, and it had like seriously ALL my relatives. like all of them flew in for the weekend to come. there was a theme to my party, so everyone kind of dressed to fit that ocassion.

my graduation party was a time to pretty much say bye to a lot of family members that i would most likely not see for a year or so. lots of pictures were taken. i got like a massive amount of presents which was awesome. we had food and cake and all that. my cousin and i graduated the same year, so it was a party for the both of us. it was pretty cool being the center of attention that night. it was a good way knowing high school was over.

so for your party, i would say to invite friends and family [this goes for your aunt too]. you can think of a creative theme for your party. it will be fun decorating the place for it. make sure you have a cute outfit for the occassion, thats always a must.

you guys can all eat and talk and take pictures to remember the night. i hope you have fun, and congratulations on graduating!!
(:
