Hard to put into words how much I despise this trend. Only thing worse I’ve seen as an east coast person are those Texas mums they make for dances. Tacky on top of tacky.

I can't believe anyone anywhere actually does this. I'm feeling second hand embarassment.

This is not the place to share your weird fantasies. Try to control yourself, dear.

The reactions on DCUM are making me laugh! Op here. Awww I do like them, my kid not so much . But there’s just something about the decorating that I love!

I think it took off in 2020, when real parties were limited and everyone was a little crazy. None of the dated photos posted here are from 2026, so the trend is probably fading again.

One kid just wanted a pic of her wearing a college hoodie and the rest of the family in college T-shirts, and one kid didn’t care at all. We will see what the third kid wants.

Some are neat for boys! Look at this one with the snacks



It is not "neat". It is cringey.

How do you figure? Those are expensive schools.


And they have excellent financial aid, and many offer merit aid as well.
