[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not really a DC thing. More in the south.[/quote] I’m a third generation DC native. Yes, it has been a DC thing for generations. Maybe that’s changed in recent years with all of the transplants? When I graduated from Wilson, many years ago, the graduation “packages” include both announcements as well as name cards. It was customary to send an announcement with a name card and a senior picture to friends and relatives who would not be attending the graduation. Back then, though, graduations were held either in the football stadium behind the school — with the auditorium as a back-up if it rained — severely limiting the number of invitations. Perhaps now that graduation ceremonies are held in larger and more comfortable spaces, announcements for people who aren’t invited due to space limitations are less common. [/quote]
