I thought that was cute.
Word on the monogram thing. Practically every graduation gift i got was monogramed: towels, robes, bags.
It seems like Cotillion was voluntary where ya'll are from. Where I'm from, girls are hand selected the fall after there high school graduation. My mom was so upset I wasn't selected, even though I wouldn't do it because I can think of better things to do with $1500 than buy a white dress and spend an evening with the girls from high school that I hated.
