Should I bring a gift to a friend's high school graduation party?

yes, it is normal. it is normal to either give a graduation themed gift, maybe something that mentions class of 2006 on it, or give a card with some money in it. i would sugget about $20 since she's your highschool friend.

I just recently attended a grad party and had that concern also. So I took a greeting card and if presents abounded I could have popped in a petrol voucher or gift voucher. Or stash a small box of special chocolates in your coat pocket or handbag....just in case. There were some decorated bottles of wine that I thought were maybe gifts ....but mostly go and celebrate your friends graduation. If you see lots of gifts send flowers later on or fruit or a music voucher the week after. Don't spend more than you can afford...your friend will not be so shallow to be offended because a few people did not bring a gift on the night. He or she invited you to help them celebrate. My friend thanked those who had supported her over the years. Enjoy!

I think it's best you give a gift to your friend. It's sort of like saying "Congratulations on a job well done!" I mean graduating is a good thing and something to be celebrated. It's not so much as you looking awkward with your gift and all the others did not bring any, what is important is that you are giving something for the effort he or she exerted in high school :-) Besides who cares if they did not bring as long as you were the one thoughtful enough to remember :-)

at least a card, but usually a gift if nice. And no, you will not seem odd if you bring a gift...Have a great time at the party

You usually bring something, a card and some money is the most common gift, You give them money and say its to help for college.

graduation is celebrating leaving high school and hopefully goign into college. there is no gift out there that can help celbrate graudating high school. the only thing a college student needs is cash, and i speak from experience. so a card and some cash should be fine

Yes, you should bring a gift. It would be better to have one and not have needed to then the other way around.

forget what others do, Do you want to give your friend a gift for graduation? Yes it is okay to give a gift, don't ever be ashamed to show someone you care about them.

yep, something small like an engraved pen ($20) or nice notebook. subtle is the key.

A card is fine
