Graduation-2025: how much does the celebration cost and how not to spend everything to the penny.

The cost of graduation in 2025: rising expenses

Experts from the portal codes.com.ua found that Ukrainian families spend between 13,200 to 19,300 hryvnias on graduation in 2025. These expenses do not include the costs of photography services and venue rental. Among the main expenses are various decorations, clothing, and footwear, which are becoming increasingly expensive due to rising prices in the country.

The cost of the main celebration also varies significantly depending on the family's location. For example, parents in the capital may spend from 10 to 20 thousand hryvnias, while in rural areas, the cost of the festive outfit can range from 2 to 7 thousand hryvnias.

Auxiliary services such as banquet hall rental and the work of a photographer with a videographer have also significantly increased in price. For example, a banquet hall costs an average of 6,500 hryvnias, which is 30% more than before.

How to save on graduation?

For reasons of saving and safety, some graduates choose alternative formats for celebration. For example, a trip to the Carpathians can cost between 4,500 to 7,000 hryvnias, which is a less expensive option than a traditional banquet. Additionally, virtual celebrations cost the least while providing an opportunity to have a great Time with friends.

• Use the services of young masters who charge less.
• Join with other families to get discounts.
• Value emotions more than expenses.
• Look for promo codes and discounts.
