    Nothing is required other than attendance and looking fairly respectable. Though bringing flowers would be a nice gesture.

    Any that she likes. You don't have to. Most people just have a meal or something afterwards then go to the bar and drink the night away.

    I didn't even realize you are meant to invite someone to go with you. I thought that you just went by yourself

    It's optional. So if you want to avoid the family interaction you can.

    You do. It isn't a debs! I suppose you bring the other half if you have one.

    My cousin just invited a friend because of a problematic family and had a brilliant day . Enjoy OP , it's a lovely day. No need to get flowers if you don't want to. The card shops have nice keepsakes , picture frames etc with graduation on it. Then your friend can put a picture of the two of you at the graduation in it :)

    I can see why someone would want to bring a friend/date to their grad. I suppose it avoids you being stuck with the ma and da all evening
