We’ve recieved everything from the boilerplate printed announcement without a photo, to Printshop created photo/written update pieces. Good compromise I’ve seen is the standard school-issue announcement, a photo, but not necessarily the expensive senior picture wallet size, and a card the size of the envelope, made on the computer with a brief update: “Ziggy is thrilled to tell you that he will be attending Zigfit University in the fall. He will be volunteering at the local Zoo this summer.” The picture can also be printed on the card for more economizing and personalization.

My D was not too interested in sending these out, but did do a lot of the addressing and licking. She would not have had time to write anything personal, given that they went out during AP prep time. We hosted a very casual get-together for family and friends, and included this invite in the announcements that went to those who might want to come.

It’s never too late, mammall, and I enjoy receiving every one, no matter how impersonal.
