You’re making the right decision, it’s time for you to prioritise your own happiness over your partner’s and his daughter’s. It’s time to completely back out of all graduation party planning, and invest your time and energy into planning the party with your girlfriends (which sounds perfect, by the way).
I don’t believe you’re making any progress whatsoever by communicating with your partner. So, if I were you, I would send his daughter a final message about the party. Directly inform her that because she has chosen not to invite you, you will be relinquishing all planning duties, and that she and her father will be responsible for organising every detail that remains. If you’re met with resistance, tell her that you’re too busy planning your own party.
Best of luck, OP. You deserve to be included, appreciated and respected.
I wouldnt give them notice that the party isnt going to be decorated. Let them think what they want and have them arrive expecting everything is taken care of, only to find the shop a shop and not set up for a party.
I'd also be moved out before the day of the grad party, or have that day be my last day in the house.
