Can I wear two stoles/sash things with my cap and gown when I graduate or would that be tacky?

I attended a graduation in Michigan this past December and saw a couple of grads with two stoles. Obviously the first issue is what rules CSU posts on thier commencement website (if they do such a thing). But if nothing is mentioned, it's up to you. However, nobody outside of your two affiliations will even know what your stoles mean. And, imho, my own reaction is that anything besides the standard issue stoles contributes to the diminishing of their value in honoring exceptional achievement.

Its socially accepted. It depends how many you get, the jewelry and clothing.

It shouldn't matter what clothes anybody have on, but I know stuff like this happens all the time.  If you don't see the point in getting a new outfit, then don't!  It's not that serious.  You might want to go out shopping though.  Shopping for a new church that is!

If she is going away for post-secondary then things for her future are always an option. \nThings like appliances... I know that's what I wanted when I graduated, but then again, I was terrified with moving out and stressed to the max about having everything I needed. This may not be the case with your sister!\n\nI don't know what kind of person your sister is, if she likes things like jewelery, or if that is even in your price range, but there are alot of really nice charm type necklaces/bracelets etc. that you could find and have engraved with her graduating year. It doesn't have to be the token cap/scroll type charm either, it could be something that meant alot to her especially over her high school career.\n\nYou could give her something I know I apreciated after my graduation, which was the supplies for my scrapbook/photo album for the evening/ my high school career. I was given a set of decorative paper, a scrapbook, stickers, picture mounters, labels, etc. and then copies of as many pictures as everyone could find of me in high school and me at my grad, after my grad, all that fun stuff. It was given to me seperate to put together myself, but it might also be something you could put together for her and give to her. \nAnother sugguestion along those lines is starting it from her childhood years and up, just a picture from each grade, something like that, your parents would have them I'm sure, and they would have some idea of the things she liked each year, that you could use as themes. This takes alot of time and energy though, so it might not be your best option.

You could go either way. You want to look trendy, but classy. Banana Republic is owned by the Gap and considered their upscale line of clothing so you definitely want to look professional and pulled together. I would go for trendy, yet classic.

I really believe this depends on what part of the country your graduation is in.  I have attended graduations in Texas and have seen anywhere from shorts (I personally think that was a little to casual)  to Sunday clothes, which in my opinion is more appropriate.

It would be a little atypical to wear black to a wedding - but certainly not "disrespectful" or "bad luck." Wear whatever you want, that's what I say.

Your ring your rules-why let anyone deter you from wearing something you like to wear. I have some fairly loud jewelry that I received as gifts from a favorite uncle-they are very old fashioned and some might say tacky, but they make me smile and remind me my uncle loves me. I wear them anytime I need a pick me up -even on a work day. They may seem out of place to an observer but are perfect for me. Wear what you want-you only live once-and if you do it right once is enough!

Dress dressy in a comfortable way. Don't wear jeans or sneakers. You legs and shoes are going to be pretty mch the only thing people are going to see since you'll be wearing a gown (I hope).

I think graduation gifts are sometimes the hardest to shop for.  Do you get the grad a fun gift they will enjoy, or a practical gift they need and will use?  Though impersonal, gift cards are sometimes the best option so they can get what they want.  My friend's mom coordinated his gifts by registering at a store for things he would need for college life.  The cool part was that most of his gifts were wrapped in new bath towels or washcloths that he would need as he moved out on his own.  Another gift he got was like an assorted gift basket of different items, but put in a new laundry basket.  If your friend is planning on moving to a college dorm or out on his/her own after graduation, household items might be a good idea.  One gift I got when I graduated high school was personalize stationary with envelopes and stamps and a phone card so I could "keep in touch".  I don't know if a guy would go for that though...  Whatever you decide, make sure there is a lot of thought behind the gift.  You can even "dress up" a gift card by putting it in a CD you know he'll like.  Good luck!

I believe that yes, they should. For me it would be a convenience issue more than anything- you don't have to worry about the "latest fashion", you don't have to plan your outfits, and there's no need to spend a lot of money on clothes. You can still wear what you want when you go out with friends, and you can still personalize a uniform with whatever jewelry is allowed or whatever. It's just a lot easier on the students and on faculty, because there isn't so much worry about dress code.\n\nAlso, have you ever noticed that it only seems to be the "cool" or "popular" kids who are against uniforms? It seems silly that in a place where you go to learn you have to worry about if you look cool or if the rich kids are making fun of you for not wearing designer labels. Uniforms are definately a good idea.

Your school should carry them. If not, suggest the idea to the school. They should sell sweaters, stickers, and such.

You can never go wrong with a black tux.  I am not into cumberbuns and bow ties though.  I love the real tie look with a vest.  Try getting a matching vest and tie in the dress color, otherwise you can get cream colored ones.  All black with a white shirt would look too waiter-ish to me.

i think it would be better to wear slakcs and a tie
