Graduation present??

Question

The captain of my lacrosse team is having a graduation party tomorrow, and she invited everyone on the lacrosse team. Am I supposed to get her a present? We weren't that close (she was a senior, I was a freshman) but she's really nice. If I am supposed get her a present, what should I get? Thanks!

Answer 1

I'd get her a gift card in a small amount- to the movies, bookstore, sporting goods store....

Usually if someone is having a party- birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, graduation, wedding, etc., you should bring a gift for the guest of honor.  It doesn't have to be big, but if you are eating & drinking at the party, you should bring a little something.

If you don't want to get a gift, don't go to the party.

Answer 2

Normally a graduation gift would come from a persons parents or legal gaurdian. I don't think you are expected to bring a gift.

Answer 3

Nooo, definitely don't need to get her a present. I'm sure she's not expecting one either.

However, you could give her something if you wanted. Maybe a framed picture of your lacrosse team (cliche.. i know).

If I were you, I'd probably just bring drinks or food for the party instead :) Have fun!

Answer 4

I think if you go to her party, you should buy her a little something.  How about just a card and a gift card.  Maybe the movies or a restaurant in town.  I feel that if you attend the party and are there to celebrate (and eat the food) you shoudl at least make an attempt.

Good luck!!
