We had the party and everything on finalization day. We've now had the first anniversaries of her joining our family, and of the finalization (6 months apart). We put more of an emphasis on the day she joined our family (went to dinner, had cards, corsages, and gifts for the girls). But if there's a longer gap between joining the family and finalizations (like a couple of years), I suppose maybe people focus more on celebrating the finalization anniversy.
