Graduation Announcements for Shy People

Can I send graduation announcements without seeming like I just want a gift?

You want to scream it from the rooftops. You’re finally graduating and you’ll never have to sit through Calculus again. However, when your mom brings up graduation announcements, you feel a bit uncertain. Isn’t that kind of tacky? Won’t everyone just think you’re just after a gift? Actually, letting everyone know they don’t need to feel obligated to send a gift when they receive an announcement is fairly simple. Just tell them. Try one of these ideas for getting the message across:

 

  • A hug and your sincere congratulations are the only gifts I need.
  • Please feel free to give me your valuable advice as I prepare for college.
  • I like presents as much as the next person, but this is not a thinly veiled request for gifts. I just want you to celebrate my achievement with me.
  • Want to give me a graduation gift? Great! Don’t want to give me a graduation gift? Great! However, feeling excited over my good news is mandatory!
  • Instead of sending me graduation gifts, please give a small contribution to Books for Kids or your favorite literacy or school related charity. I want everyone to be able to feel the same sense of accomplishment I feel.
