Graduation is 11 days away.
I want to have a big party ( b/c graduating from college with a 3.9 GPA deserves a celebration!!)
We had a BIG beach party when dd graduated from high school.. About 65 -70 people… But it was so , so much work doing it all myself. This year I have no energy, with the house selling and all the running I am doing for my Aunt. Was thinking of doing smaller # at a restaurant….for close family and friends.. about 45 people, but that still runs about $1000 ( or more) Most restaurants charge $28-$30/pp. I would have to take out a loan against our home equity… That's not really necessary….
So DH talked me out of that… which is smart. I would rather give HER the $$… She is not *wanting* a party , really….
She has never gone on "spring break" vacation… maybe she would like to do a trip with a friend… or all of us as a family….
I just want to celebrate her accomplishments. SHe deserves that!!
I am torn and feeling so "down" about it….
