Dorm Shower...is that a thing now?

I think that is a really creative idea (the items you couldn't live without) and is a world apart from the issues being complained about otherwise. By the nature of the invitation they're asking that you not spend a lot, unless the thing you can't live without is a replacement fancy dancy bed to replace the university-issued one. The thing I couldn't live without (but did) was a humidifier. That room was an oven. But rolls of quarters would have been manna from heaven.

Unfortunately, worded differently there would be NO problem with this party. And delaying the graduation party until later in the summer is a good idea. There are so many clustered at once that a lot of people who would like to help her celebrate wouldn't have been able to.
