[quote=Anonymous]We've been to many family graduations. The best ones have been backyard "open houses", where the graduate invites a few friends, and family+family friends drop in for a few minutes as their schedule allows. Food is simple, sodas and waters in coolers, maybe themed cupcakes with the HS or college colors. One included a rough timeline such as: open house 1-4, hot food will be served at 1pm, short speech at 2:30pm. The kid's friends opted to show up at 1pm for the food and escape the cringe-y parent speeches. Keep in mind they are attending several of their friend's parties in the same 2-3 weekends, so they likely will not stay for the duration unless it's a best friend. And grandparents want to be there for any cake cutting or speeches. Definitely take your kid's preferences into account. I would hate to throw a big party for an overly shy, reluctant teen. Good luck! [/quote]
