Anonymous We would like to greet you on your graduation/birthday. Yes, but it is a bit odd. You want to greet them at the door when they come to your party for them?

No. "Congratulate" seems more appropriate.

Yes, that is what I thought. So greet should not be the word written for their graduation, it is just the welcoming as you said?

Is this sentence correct: we would like to congratulate you a successful finish to your study. A successful finish sounds a bit odd, but is the sentence correct?

It's not quite right. This is more natural:
We would like to congratulate you on successfully finishing your studies.
