Small HS graduation party ideas?

[Anonymous]

DD will graduate this spring We don't have any family in the area, and of the family that *might* be able to attend a celebration, maybe we might get 6-7 relatives, at best. DD only has about 5-10 close friends but she has maybe 30 kids that she would invite if we had a larger affair. I'm just starting to think ahead and figure out what sort of event we could have to celebrate. We live in a townhome that could only comfortably accommodate maybe 10 people for a party, plus parking would be an issue, so I don't think that's the best plan. I'm trying to think outside of the box and I could use some help. Do we have family/friends on different days? Will all the kids come at once? Or will they trickle in and out since it will be graduation party season? If so, does it make sense to have a party at a venue if I don't know if everyone will attend at the same time? Should we invite the 30+ kids? Or just the few that she is closest with? What ideas to people have? Thanks in advance!

Does your town house have a community room you could reserve?

No, I wish it did, because that would be perfect

We ran in to so many overlapping parties in DDs friend group that she didn’t want a small party. We only celebrated with the family attending (grandparents and aunt who came in) at a dinner after the graduation and gifted DD the money we would have spent. She was happier going to friends’ events and pocketing the money for college.

I like this idea, thanks!
