Graduation party?
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!

Mine was awesome! We had the party at a really nice local park. If you're going to rent a certain place for a day, remember to do it in advance, to make sure you have it on the date you want your party, because it can fill up quickly. In fact, I'd do this asap.
I used a big decorated box for everyone to throw their cards in and I had an autograph dog (very cute idea, i loved it - my friends and family wrote a bunch of cute messages on it).
For games, we just had miscellaneous things like volleyball (for kids/teens) and horseshoes (for adults). I also had a DJ there to play cool music for each age group (this isn't TOO expensive, it depends who you get - my brother knew him, so it was about $100 for the whole day). It's also fun to just chill with your friends and take lots of pictures.
For food, we had Smokey Bones cater it for us, so there was plenty of really good food to go around. Everyone LOVED it! Just make sure you get enough food, because I had so many people there, we ran out and had to order more.
I didn't have any particular theme, except everything was decorated in green and gold, my school colors. We had lots of balloons, streamers, and confetti to make everything look festive.
Hope that helped and congratulations on graduating high school. :D

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!!

An "Open house" is where the party starts at a certain time, and ends at a certain time, but can come and go as they please, rather than showing up at a certain time and staying the whole time.

Hopefully, these will be helpful in getting started. Other than that, get creative! It's YOUR party, and you know your school best. Good luck, and have fun!
