But now… It’s nothing like before. No pomp, no circumstance.
Under normal conditions, we’d be planning a fun graduation party for these pages — in fact, this week was marked on our grid eight months in advance — but, of course, nothing is normal right now. We’ve decided to shift gears to the option that feels the most right: an intimate family dinner to celebrate the achievements of the people in your life who have put in years of stress, work, and growth into whatever it is they’ve accomplished.
Even if you would never have dreamed of throwing a graduation celebration in “real life,” perhaps this is the year to go all out for your graduate and acknowledge that, when nothing feels right or special, we can be a little more innovative than usual and create the special moments ourselves. And besides, resourcefulness, creativity, and flexibility are all highly useful skills your graduate probably needs right about now.
If I had to pick one place to crash for a graduation dinner, it would likely be Rivky Kleiman’s, because a) I know she’d pull together something over-the-top at a moment’s notice, and b) it will be super-fresh and delicious. That’s what you’ll get from this week’s set, and we know your graduate will appreciate your efforts to mark this special occasion.
