Graduation Announcements

So I'm trying to not wait until the last min and get all my graduation stuff done early. Announcements are the most time consuming so I go there first. NU contracted with a place to do their announcements so I go there and check it out. It's awful, the wording is tacky, it actually says, on the announcement something about how this isn't a ticket to the graduation.

I only get six tickets to my graduation, why the hell would I want something like that sent to all the people I"m sending announcements to?? My University has to main campuses that do graduation, the one here and the one in Sacramento, and Sac's doesn't say that.

So I call the company, Jostens and talk to a very nice man who agreed with me completely that the wording was terrible. However the University picks out the wording and normally it can't be changed. He's going to have the rep talk to the University and see if we can at least take the 'this is not a ticket' nonesence out but he said he's tried and the past and normally the University doesn't allow it.

I"m on hold with them right now about my cap and gown, that isn't up on their site yet either, and I have literally no interest in a class ring, so unfortunately they're going to lose my business through no fault of their own if they can't get this changed.

So, chances are I'm going to have to find someplace else to do this announcement. That isn't' a huge deal, though the stuff found with an initial Google search were horrible, but then I don't get the NU logo embossed, or at least not easily and most likely not cheaply.

I've also sent an email to the University as there is another place to get diploma frames that I liked better than the ones offered on Josten's site.

Just annoying
