Question

This is an event for the celebrating of her.
This is an event for celebrating her.
This is an event to celebrate her.
I made sentences above. Are these right to say? And if right, could you tell me the subtle differences among them?

They are all odd. I suggest: This is an event to celebrate her graduation/promotion/Nobel prize.

I believe the second option is correct and the third may also be used. "This is an event for celebrating her." Although it would probably read/sound better to be followed by what in particular you are celebrating about her. For example "This is an event for celebrating her life-long service to those in need" "This is an event for celebrating her life." etc.

For the third sentence - again I would suggest ending it with the accomplishments/achievements or what else about this person you will be celebrating.

The first sentences would not, in my opinion be correct. You would not say 'the celebrating of' its not grammatically correct. Celebrating of is incorrect. You could say "This is an event for the celebraTION of " but it would probably be better followed by an event like "Ramadan" for example, rather than "her".

Hope this is not too late to be helpful.
