Okay, I have a daughter graduating from high school this year and wonder if I am just way out of the loop or there are others who agree that high school graduation celebrations might be a bit too excessive.
When I graduated from high school, we sent out modest announcements with a small picture, a few people had parties right after graduation, but the day/night was spent with family. We enjoyed a nice summer relaxing, then off to college (or work) we went.
Now it seems that announcement are more like wedding invitations, many have eloborate parties, spend weeks at the beach, graduations are held at huge halls or stadiums (no longer on the football field), and the speakers are politicians or celebrities. The list goes on and on.
Is it getting too excessive or is it me?
