In Reply to: Wedding announcement etiquette question... - June bride
People you send announcements to are not expected to send gifts, as you are just letting them know you got married (they are sent AFTER you get married, within a week or two after the event). So in that case it would be tacky. As for the invites, some consider anything like that tacky (especially if you ask for $), but I think a note just saying where you are registered is enough; I would leave out the donate to charity though as it may be a cause they do not believe in and therefore would not feel comfortable making a donation but may feel obligated to do so. As for the note saying their presense is enough, that is all well and good, but if you do that I'd leave out all the rest since on one hand you say we don't want any gifts but we are registered at XYZ Store, kind of sends a mixed message. So there are a few different points of view, hope you figure it all out satifactorily.

thanks for the support -- LOL, maybe I will send out invites and we can
actually  I'd like to play back several hours of this BS and make them
sit there and sit there and sit there - maybe even have them transcribe it. The only way
they get to leave the room is if it's done in a timely manner, correctly, reading the mind of the dictator, correcting the incorrectly slurred out drug or procedure, bone, body part, x-ray or syndrome.
That would be so much fun. They think their medical boards are difficult--------HA!
IF A COMPANY INVITES YOU TO TEST ON THEIR SITE - DO IT
Whether they have posted a job or not. If your work is being cut to the point you can not tolerate it, heck test on 10 of them!! Pay close attention to the ones that request U.S. MTs only. They are not timed. They are open-book. You are going to learn alot. What have you got to lose? You still don't have to quit your job if you do not want to but please share these companies on this site.
wedding announcements
Really, no, girls, this is very tacky, either in an announcement or in an invitation. Please, let's stick to traditional etiquette.
If they are like wedding announcements, you do it AFTER the event - sm
if you are inviting people to attend then I would think 3-4 weeks prior to the event.
High School Announcements
My youngest just graduated from HS last June and we sent the announcements out 3 weeks prior to graduation. We did the same when my son graduated HS back in 1997 as well. Just lets everyone know that they are graduating.
grad. announcements, more info.
According to this website I do have the right idea.......
When to Send Announcements
If the announcement is being sent as an invitation to the ceremony and/or a graduation party, they should be sent out 10-14 days before the event. If it is just being used to announce the accomplishment of graduation, it is still proper to send it up to 14 days after the ceremony. -----am posting this in case the link below does not work---- http://parentingteens.about.com/cs/graduation/a/gradannounce.htm
