Why not just send a quick check to the group chat like “does everyone feel ok with me inviting other people to come too?”
I think it’s all worth checking for in case the friend was expecting more attention for birthday/graduation or if there any sensitivities around covid.
Second this! If it’s worth posting here, it’s worth asking
I’d be fine with them attending if they’re friends of friends but would feel awkward if I was with a group of friends celebrating me and then had randoms there without a heads up. That being said, I’d also feel awkward as the person going to attend a celebration of someone I don’t know well, especially if they weren’t expecting me. Definitely let your friend know you’re planning to invite others and see if they’re cool with it before confirming the invite.

To be clear, you want to celebrate friend birthday/graduation and you want to invite people she is not really friends with? Check with the birthday person. I personally wouldn’t want to celebrate a bday with random people, takes too much energy
I’d run it by them. Mostly likely your friend will say yes anyways, appreciate the opportunity to voice their opinion, and is a general courtesy. Much better than surprising them and risking it being awkward for both the celebrated friend and additional people who didn’t know they weren’t expected. Party on and congrats to your friends!

Sounds like you just want to co opt your friend's party with yours
Some people can’t mix with other people because of personalities. Make sure the occasion and the people around it will be natural.
Worst case, invite them for later in the night when out and it’s not as formal
So you’re essentially asking if it’s weird to add a +1 to a friend’s birthday party. Nope not weird at all but good to check and give headsup in case there’s concerns of safety (covid, etc) or limits on capacity.
