Would it be weird to invite professors to my graduation party?

Hey everyone! I'm a senior at a smallish school [very community minded HBCU] in a department of maybe 80ish students. We have quite a few specialized classes and it is entirely normal to have classes with 4-10 people which get even smaller after attendance drops off mid semester.

I have two professors that I'm very close to, one more than the other but not by much. I have taken several classes each with both of them and [when I lived on campus] usually visited their offices multiple times a week before or after class [usually just to hang out there and crochet/sit and talk with one of my professors while he let me play his guitar]. They have both agreed to write me recommendation letters for law school and currently do things to support me in other ways [one by showing up to my extracurricular events and the other by agreeing to advise a club that a classmate and I run, among other things. I also will bake things for my professors/advisors at the end of the semester and have made things for them before, which they took and seemed to appreciate. One of my professors has also met my family/parents [at the aforementioned extracurricular event]

I want to invite them to my graduation party and was just wondering if this would be overstepping. I'm not necessarily concerned it will be but just wanted thoughts about it before I ask!

advice for an NC law school applicant?

hey everybody, I'm a rising senior at a North Carolina HBCU, 170/4.0/T2 softs, URM. UNC is my top choice because I'm interested in staying in state and practicing as a Social Services/Guardian Ad Litem Attorney, and UNC has great clinics for that focus/I love the area in general

Given the two point median jump for class of 2029 (which for the record is frankly obscene) is it realistic to still hedge bets on half to full? Or is it more prudent to try to be a big fish in a small pond so to speak and go for Wake Forest, Elon, or Campbell [less so Campbell given their full rides are v limited] I'll still apply everywhere either way and I am not completely against moving out of state but it would take a really good offer, but just trying to adjust my expectations. My biggest priority is having little to no debt, and I doubt the prestige of my degree will matter much given my desired career
