Are graduation ceremonies formal?

<p>My sister's is in an hour and my mom wants me to wear a tie, dress shirt, and dress pants. But i really dont think the ceremony requires guests to be formal. I've don a google on my shcool and they have no info.</p>

<p>When you went to a graduation ceremony (for high school) was it formal?? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>For the graduates, yes, the ceremonies are formal. For the guests, no. Dress nicely if you'd like, but don't feel required to.</p>

<p>I never went to my high school graduation. Heck....I didn't even pick up my diploma or yearbook.</p>

<p>Ooooooo you nonconformist rebel, you!</p>

<p>We had some people that were really dressed up and then there were moms that looked like hookers. Some graduates really dressed up while some wore a t-shirt and cut off jeans. It's really just whatever you want to wear.</p>
