[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully the nephew is focusing on finals and graduating, not on grad announcements. I know when my DD graduated we, as parents, got the info about ordering grad announcements. I assume if we had ordered any I would have sent them out because they would have come to our house, not to DDs dorm. Can't believe you even care whose handwriting it is. Celebrate the event (if you can bring yourself to think about other people for a minute or two) and send a nice card and gift.[/quote]

Meant to add - as an aunt and uncle you can't consider a grad announcement a gift grab. You should probably be giving a gift regardless of the form of announcement. My DDs aunts and uncles actually came to her graduation, and gave her gifts, and we didn't send announcements.[/quote]

+1  We aren't very close to DH's family and I still sent $100 and a card to each of his nieces and nephews when they graduated from high school.  I'd do the same for my brother and sister's kids and want to treat them all the same, even if there is distance in our relationship with the ILs.[/quote]

I feel like such an asshole now - I've never done that. I don't think anyone sent me $$ or cards, either - but I wonder if they did and I just don't remember?[/quote]
