Dear
Polite One,
We
are planning a large high school graduation party for
my daughter at our home. I would like to send announcements to those who
I know can't attend, as I'm very proud that she graduated and is off to
college.
However,
I also feel that sending announcements might appear as a tacky way of asking
for cash. Would it be best to send announcements,
mentioning the party, but stating that gifts are not expected?

Dear
Proud Mom,
A
graduation from high school should be celebrated, as it is a life event.
Sending announcements is appropriate and polite, but don't mention gifts. It would appear as gifts are expected.
If you want these people to attend the party, however, send an invitation
not an announcement. And on these, it is perfectly fine these days to mention
no gifts.
Congratulations!
