As the date of graduation approaches, families of high school seniors plan parties to honor their children who have completed the grades preschool through 12th. They then will most likely continue their education by going off into the world to pursue additional education through college or perhaps enter the workforce. To honor and celebrate the completion of necessary education, the high school that each student attends will host graduation ceremonies where they will appreciate the years of hard work each student has pushed through. With previous assemblies of cord gifting to students who have succeeded academically, these cords will be added to the student’s attire to show off as they walk across the stage.
When given or mailed a graduation card from a fellow peer or upperclassman, one should take into consideration that they were thought of when that senior gave them an invite to their own personal party.
With this generous offer, the invitee should try their best to attend the party in celebration of their friend. While attending the party, there are unspoken rules that everyone should have a previous understanding of. Consisting of: showing up promptly, bringing a card that can but does not necessarily need to contain money and finally, not taking more than you can eat.
For the period that one attends a graduation party, if on a budget and one simply does not want to spend more than they should; a simple gesture is to write a kind letter expressing excitement over their achievements that they have and have yet to make throughout their life.
When one is going to attend a graduation party, an obvious rule of thumb is to acknowledge and speak to the individual who is graduating. As people who are invited to attend these parties, some bring along outside friends that the graduate may not know. If someone falls into this category, they should do the bare minimum of congratulating the senior whose party they are attending.
Going deeper with generous offers and acknowledgments, a universal gift that can never go wrong is the gift that involves many options, cash. With the gift of money, seniors venturing off into the real world whether that be pursuing college or the workforce, cash makes a perfect contender of a gift that can be used towards necessary expenses like costly schooling or even money that is being saved up for a greater purchase.
During a graduation party, it is important not to be selfish and take all the food for yourself, when in reality it is provided for everyone who makes an appearance. Not to mention the large sum of money that the family contributed to the catering of food for many guests. Not only is it inappropriate but it is straight-up impolite and will decrease the amount of invites received in the future to gatherings.
In conclusion, it is of utmost importance to maintain a kind and generous personality when attending graduation parties and remembrance of how important the celebration of graduation is for seniors. High school graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that is a milestone that should be followed up with celebration.
