Proper HS Graduation Announcements?
My daughter went to boarding school her senior year of high school. She was number one in her class and was set to be the grad speaker. However, she made a mistake and was asked to leave the school. They did however give her her final grades through the end of the year, so she is able to get her diploma. The diploma will come during summer school in the county where we live. My question is this - we had purchased announcements - not invitations - and I am wondering if it would be terribly inappropriate to send out the announcements we have already purchased. Even though they aren't invitations, they do give the graduation date of May 23, 2009.
What do I do?
My daughter doesn't really have hard feelings toward the school. She is upset with herself for blowing her chance to walk at graduation and to be the speaker. It is probably a good lesson for her. At this point, all she wants to be send out the announcements. I sort of thought it would be OK since they are announcements and not invitations. I will give her the option of using the ones we have or having some others printed up. Thanks for the help - it is much appreciated.

I would send them out. She is graduating from that school, that's where she is getting her diploma from. It is not inappropriate at all.
My only other suggestion is to take into account your daughters feelings. If she does not want anything to do with this school anymore you can print up some lovely announcements that are not from the school. Kind of a do it yourself announcement. You can buy stuff at Staples that look really good.
You need to hurry up and get those sent out before a month goes by. I just realized the date on the graduation. Try to get them done in the next week.

Maybe print out some nice looking inserts that say something along line of:
"We are honored to have you share this important occasion with us. However, due to a private matter, Heather will not be attending the graduation ceremony listed on the enclosed announcement. Thank you all for your good wishes."
Edit: Sorry, I just realized the date of the graduation. Well, since it's over anyway I don't think it would be inappropriate to send them out.
