Nice thought, but unless it's a smart watch, it won't get worn past graduation. No one under the age of 30 wears wristwatches anymore unless they're wired.[/quote
+1 pretty much the case. I'm 50 and don't wear a watch either.

Why do girls need to be given flowers after every single thing? So extra.

If it at DAR, they are permitted to have one car key and their ID. Nothing else.
As a parent who doesn't drive, how does that work?
Assuming that everyone has a car seems like an incredibly stupid thing to do.

From middle school? I give them food. There is nothing an 8th grade boy likes more than food, so I took him to the restaurant of his choice.
From high school? Nothing in the moment. His high school graduation gifts from me and his grandparents will be college tuition, room and board, a laptop that he doesn't have to share with the family, and lots of other things like extra long sheets, and a plane ticket to get to school. That's plenty, he doesn't need flowers on top of that.

For mom to give, a nice card. Nothing inside for a graduation gift. Chances are mom has already done this or will.
This. great idea!

That means that balloons floating in the air above people sitting in lower-level rows will be in the line of vision of people sitting in rows behind/above. Please don't do this.
My DS1 graduated from high school 2 years ago. We brought nothing but big smiles and big hugs. Then we went out for a celebration lunch. It was a lovely day.
No balloons or flowers at DAR.

Dinner at his favorite restaurant. Otherwise, nothing.
