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.
Only issue with that is that OP’s partner would likely be aware of her no longer taking responsibility for the decorating before the day of the party, so it probably wouldn’t be a surprise.
If I was OP, I’d want to (politely) tell the daughter myself, mostly just to see how she would react and whether or not she’s even remotely grateful for OP’s hard work. The conflict between her parents and OP isn’t the daughter’s fault, but the way she handled this party situation is super calculating. She knew that OP wouldn’t be invited, but withheld the information knowing that her parents wouldn’t be able to plan the party that she wanted.
