Planning a Grad Party in Syosset

girls threw their mortar boards into the air and students will do the same on Wednesday as the Class of 2012 closes the high school chapter of their lives. For most, this means it's graduation party season.

Parents and grads have tons of choices in how they can celebrate their big day. Some opt for the intimate family dinner that, whether you stay in or head out to a restaurant, is always a lovely little thing to do with your closest family. Another option is the big, blowout bash where every last second cousin, twice removed and friend-of-a-friend are invited to celebrate.

Many have opted for a less traditional route and in lieu of hosting a party, put the cash toward a family vacation or large gift.
