RE: Saving Money on Graduation: Senior Pictures, Announcements and Other Expenses. Post By Julia (Guest Post) (03/29/2007) I agree with going to Wal-Mart for senior pictures, im a senior this year (2007) and thats where i wen. They were cheaper and they turned out great =) RE: Saving Money on Graduation: Senior Pictures, Announcements and Other Expenses.

They were more than willing to do it, they just had to use me for examples in class and I ended up paying about $25 just for the poses and then went to walmart with the Kodak picture maker and printed them out, my pictures turned out amazing by the way!

We printed up her announcements on the computer. We bought some nice looking plain cards at the office store, designed a nice looking announcement and included what she would be doing after graduation. If there is not enough room in the actual card you can add a little piece of paper. Because many of the friends and the family couldn't come to the actual graduation, it gave them an idea what she would be doing (going to college) and what to send her as a present. She had a friend in photography class take her graduation pictures. She had many to choose from that way and they were really "her". They turned out very nice and we were able to get them printed at a photo store for a reasonable price. She included one of the photos in each announcement. She has always been unusual so all were pleased with the announcements and photos. We had lots of positive comments. There isn't much you can do about the cap, gown and tassle, they usually require you get them from the school. If they will let you use your own, you may be able to find one in the school colors at the local thrift store. -Susan RE: Saving Money on Graduation: Senior Pictures, Announcements and Other Expenses.

Mid summer is good as a slight tan always looks better. search ebay for tux when time is closer to the prom a young man can grow rapidly. or ask a family member if they could share (for the cost of a cleaning) bridal shops also have rentals. also check walmart for your class rings. they order form same places as the school does. Good Luck! (no I don't work for walmart or ebay)
