[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all the PPs who are getting hung up on the terminology: the type of open house OP is referring to is a graduation party. That's just what they call them in the Midwest. Some are casual, inexpensive get together while others are huge parties with catered food and live music. Most people have the parties at their home. There will be 3-4 weekends surrounding graduation when everyone has their open houses and the seniors usually hop from one to the next. No one has their open house on grad day. Most open houses are a mix of family and friends, classmates, friends from other schools/sports teams, etc. People just stop by, have a drink or some food, and hang out. [/quote]

Is this a new thing? I grew up in Ohio and have never heard of it. Two do my classmates had graduation parties, but they were right after the actual graduation and mostly for family. Several cousins have graduated HS recently in the Midwest and I have not heard about this, even though we received invitations to the actual graduation.

In any case, even if this is typical for OP's crowd, obviously the kids would have much more fun at a beach weekend. Especially if it's one of their last days together. It sucks for OP, but a couple hours chatting with her aunts and uncles vs a weekend at the beach...no contest.[/quote]
