momofkhm Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Who do you send them too? Grandparents obviously. Aunts and uncles? Friends? Only the people you actually expect would come to the ceremony? But then I could totally see one aunt on my side coming but none of the rest being able to afford it. Her godparents, yes. But the godparents to the other 2? And which friends? So many of dd's friends are graduating this year! And of course they all know that dd is graduating, so do they need an announcement? There are far too many options out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BakersDozen Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 We won't send announcements. I'll include in our Xmas letter that so-and-so graduated, but that is it. Our family is not involved in our lives and local friends will know anyway, so announcements aren't really necessary in our situation. Plus I don't want it to come across as a gift/$ request to those whom we are in little to no contact with (or even those we are in close contact with). I envy those of you who have people in your life who would actually care to celebrate with your graduate/family! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 We pretty much sent them to the Christmas card list. We did precisely this. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 I just found out this morning my brother can come! I'm so excited. I really didn't think he'd be able to make it. He called to tell me what time I need to pick him up at the airport the day before. When I squealed "You can come to her graduation!?", he responded with "I don't think her grandmother would ever forgive me if I didn't." Her grandmother = our mother. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 We just simply made a list of people we thought would be interested. We did have senior pictures done and since many individuals out of state had not seen our kids in a while or had an updated photo, these were sent with the announcements. Some of DH's colleagues were interested so they received announcements as well. This list was much longer than the invite list for her actual graduation ceremony. DH and I planned a smaller event - 50 people - to see us present her with her diploma, make her formal announcement of college acceptance, and browse through her accomplisments/awards. We had nice refreshments and lots of time for people to visit with her. But, we really paired the invitation list down from the announcement list.

Ellie Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Not announcements, which are different than invitations, anyway. :-) If I sent announcements, they'd go to everyone; invitations would only go to the ones were actually invited to attend any graduation ceremony. And we didn't do either announcements or ceremonies and so therefore no invitations. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
