...For not inviting them to my high-school graduation.
I'm talking about members who are not immediate family. You see, I mailed them an announcement telling them that I'm going to graduate. They think it's an invite to the actual graduation ceremony. It's an ANNOUNCEMENT. It announces things! It's not an invitation! You need a ticket to go to the ceremony, and even then you can only have a limited amount of them... I don't know why they're mad at me. If I was them, I'd be relieved. Who really wants to go to a graduation ceremony if they're not obligated to? *phew* Alright, I had to get that out of my system.

Maybe they think it's your way of asking for graduation money/presents.

Congratulations on graduating. Immediate family members need to understand that there is limited seating that is why they issue tickets. It is to be fair to all the graduates.
People send all kinds of announcements just telling people what is going on. It isn't an invitation. You can bet if it was one of their children in the same situation, they would expect everyone else to understand. It is a two-way street.

I got a graduation announcement this week from one of my cousin's sons. It listed the place, date and time of the graduation ceremony. I doubt that my son and I would be allowed to attend because as you say seating is limited but I thought is was confusing the way they said when and where the ceremony would be as if that was something I needed to know [to attend].
I think the announcement could have been worded better. My cousin never contacts me, never calls me so I wonder if it is more about seeking a gift or what. I can't afford much of a gift on my disability income so I am going to buy a coin set from his birth year on ebay.

I'm just about to send out my own graduation announcements, and I agree--they are very confusing! I even thought at first that they were invites. My family did point out--the four tickets we received are for reserved seating. There is general seating, which is good because both of my brothers, who graduated from my old high school, had my grandparents and a couple aunts and uncles (in addition to the four tickets) at their graduation ceremony.
And I think even if you would have actually invited them, they probably wouldn't go. Nothing against you lol but like you said, most people don't want to sit through a graduation ceremony. People just like to be thought of and included. At least, that's my take on it. Congrats, and GO SEN10RS!!!!!!!!!

I have a niece who invited only the more wealthy family members, (despite the fact that other immediate members, including her own mom, asked to attend, just to receive "better" gifts).....
GRATS on GRADS..... Shangrala
