Someone please explain to me why graduation announcements are so freaking expensive?! The only answer I can come up with, and believe me when I say I’ve been thinking about it, is that they’re expensive because they can be. The same reason class rings are $900. They’re $55 for 25 announcements. Why do they need to be this much? They’re just paper with a little gold and purple foiling.
I mean, birthday and Christmas party invitations are like $5 for 10 or something. Even if you get them personalized, they’re not that much! I got personalized Christmas cards a few years ago, which I never sent, but they were only $20 for a box of 25 and I felt like that was splurging! So, why do things need to be so expensive when it really matters?
I’d really like to send announcements, but I can’t afford them. Then, of course, there’s this problem where announcements are more like invitations. I’m not walking, so there’s no reason for me to invite anyone anywhere. Announcements never just announce, they say when the grad is and where. It’s just so frustrating!
So I’m passing on all that extraneous stuff and in January, I’m getting myself one of those ridiculously HUGE degree frames because, well, I feel like I earned it!
Needless expense
