Graduation announcements

I've never heard of these and if I received this in the mail I would probably be like okay??? And throw it out.

I've never heard of a graduation announcement. What's the point? Are you inviting me to a party, orrrrr? I'm assuming your familt and friends already know you're graduating.

Abbey...if she's graduating from high school, why would you send out anything unless you included an invitation to a hosted celebration marking the event? The same thing applies to a college invitation. If you aren't hosting a party following the ceremony, an announcement is not needed. Only invitations.

OP, whew...you're graduating from college. That's a relief, although....ehh, not my business. My biggest issue, the one I would have had to address, is the bad idea of a woman getting married eight weeks after her high school graduation. That makes my throat tighten up.

If you are having a college graduation party, that's fine, and not unusual. Every guest that you intend to host with food and drink, gets an invitation. They have the right to accept or decline. However, if there is no party, you don't send out college graduation announcements. Put it on FB if you want to, but that's a "whomever reads this" announcement. A printed invitation is a plea for money or gifts. If there is a party, please don't send printed announcement to anyone who is not invited to a post graduation party. Again, it's a plea for money or gifts.

Your wedding invitations are something different. Invite whomever is on your guest list to your properly hosted wedding. For those who attend any kind of graduation party AND are invited to your wedding, you'll probably hear a lot of "We'll see you in August" as they depart your graduation party.

Graduation announcements are definitely a thing where I live. I believe that I sent them out for high school to my family/friends. I'll be graduating from college shortly and I will be skipping sending the announcements out.

People do do college graduation announcements I graduated last August I didn't send any but a lot of people do. Just send those and invitations later if they want to send money they will if not oh well. I think a graduation announcement is just showing how proud you are of graduating. It's a big accomplishment. I sent some for high school but college I didn't

It's a thing in the south where I grew up. My grandmother and mother and FH's mother get several announcements each year.

Definitely a thing where I'm from... I sent them out for high school, college, and professional school.

I would send them to everyone you would send it to even if you weren't getting married. If it's the norm where you live, people aren't likely to be offended or take it the wrong way.
