[quote=Anonymous]An announcement is NOT an invitation. Your husband is wrong there. Graduation tickets are increasingly very limited and invitations to attend would not go to your family in the circumstances you describe.

It's sad that your husband and you see this as a gift grab by a rich relative. I'd bet that the teen has no idea this was sent to you and the parent who sent it was just feeling like updating everyone on their kid's milestone--this isn't about the parent whom you dislike but about the kid.

You're not obliged to acknowledge he announcement at all and certainly not obliged to send a gift. We have gotten announcements this year as our own DC is graduating from HS. I know the senders do not expect gifts just as we don't expect them from those to whom we sent announcements. (Someone will come along to post how they KNOW announcements must be answered with a gift but...not anywhere I've ever lived or among our friends now.) You seem to feel affronted by the announcement's existence so ignore it. Done. [/quote]
