graduation parties
Cap-and-gown celebrations
Graduation parties are social gatherings celebrating someone's completion of an educational program, most commonly high school or college.
They typically involve family and friends, food, and gifts for the graduate.
In American culture, these range from casual backyard cookouts to elaborate catered events: We're throwing a graduation party for my daughter next weekend.
