[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In NY.  It’s tacky and a gift grab.  Anyone close in touch with you knows your kid is going to graduate.  Anyone who doesn’t doesn’t need to know because you are not that close (and that’s fine).  You can tell long distance relatives about it, but sending cards out?  No.  Tacky.  Viewed universally as a gift grab.[/quote]

“Universally ?” No. Clearly there are at least regional and possibly generational differences. That’s why we’re on page 4.

Almost all posts are against them. Claiming it's regional or generational is a way to justify it but it does not (justify it). 💰 [/quote]

You don't have to spend the money on your kid's announcements if you don't want to, no one is making you, but you don't have to pretend it's a "universally" bad thing either. It's a very common, long standing tradition like other announcements of major life events.[/quote]

What other major life events are announced like this one w/ a Photo and saying kid is graduating?

Who are you sending this to that had no idea your kid is graduating AND is close enough that they should know but can’t be told by a text or phone call?

I am not pretending it is universally bad. Almost everyone is saying it is except for a few who don’t want to hear it. It is a gift grab, in poor taste, and IS universally bad. Go ahead and ignore us…it won’t magically make it change from being a pretext for 🙏 💴.[/quote]
