What is Graduation Party?

A graduation party celebrates the completion of an educational milestone such as high school, college, or graduate school. These events honor the graduate's achievement and mark their transition to the next phase of life. Graduation parties can range from casual backyard barbecues to formal dinner parties. Common elements include decorations in school colors, displays of photos and memorabilia, cards with money gifts, and congratulatory speeches. Open houses, where guests drop in over several hours, are popular for high school graduations. Graduation parties are typically hosted by the graduate's parents or family.
