lil bro's graduation

Hey ladies!

My little brother and youngest of 6 just turned 18 yesterday and will be graduating HS in May. All the siblings and family will be flying to TN for his graduation. We are super excited and want to make this very special for him and embarrass him a little.

Can you think of fun things you've seen families do at graduations in the past? Shirt ideas, signs?

Re: lil bro's graduation

  • Hmm.... maybe something like "Team Bro's Name" shirts for the family?

    Spell out his name with your tee shirts? Maybe signs that spell out his name for each person? I am no good at this. No one did anything like that at my graduation.

    Do you think if we put "Official Smartass" on the back of his shirt under a picture of him the school will allow us to wear them? Is that considered profanity?

    Ha! It is probably considered profanity, but it is funny.

  • I'm not sure if a high school would be cool with it, but my Mom and I made a money-lei for my brother for college graduation last year. Our straws were a bit longer, so we only used about $25, but he loved it so much he's kept it in his room instead of taking it apart and spending it. LOL

  • Check with the school. Check with the school. Check with the school. x 10000.

    I've worked at high schools and have volunteered for graduation services. Many schools now have very strict rules (only one lei per student, no food, no noise makers, no signs, no balloons, etc.). It's usually a teacher or poor volunteer who gets stuck collecting and/or trashing all the crap families bring that is against the rules.

    I think shirts would be your best bet because, aside from the possible profanity issue, they have to let you in wearing clothes. Wink

    Thanks! I had no idea. I definitely plan on calling the school about the shirts and the lei.
