Regarding sending a high school graduation gift, is there a timeframe that must be met?
We received an announcement for my husband’s step-brother’s graduation for high school. The boy is 20 years younger than us and lives many states away. We received the announcement about three weeks before the event, and I sent a gift about a month after the event. We were not invited – just an announcement. I sent a card and substantial check so he could get some things he needed for college. Since we don’t see each other often, I wasn’t sure what sort of electronics, etc. he had, and figured money was the best idea. I figured that, since we lived far away and were not invited, that I had some time to get a gift there. Now, I am concerned that my tardiness was inappropriate and seen as an insult. I though I had some time after the event, as long as it was sometime this summer. Was I wrong? ANSWER: Dear Amy, An announcement is only to be sent after an event has taken place. It is also merely information for someone who may care to know it. There is no action required. So if you wish to
