Graduation Etiquette
A graduation announcement is the most traditional way of spreading word about your graduation. Your graduation announcements should include the important details about your graduation. This would include, but is not limited to, the name of the graduating student, the school or university that the student is graduating from and the date of the commencement. If the student will be continuing their education in the following term, you may want to include this on the announcement as well. We offer traditional "class of" graduation announcements, school color graduation announcements and digital photo graduation announcements, which are our most popular.
Your graduation announcements should be mailed as early as the day of your graduation ceremony, or within a few weeks after your graduation date. A graduation announcement is not meant as a solicitation for gifts, but merely a way of communicating your accomplishments and achievements to those in your life. You may mail your graduation announcements to your family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers or fellow students. Be sure that if you do receive a graduation gift, you promptly send out a hand written thank you note to let the sender know of your appreciation.
When you graduate, it is customary for your family members to host a graduation party in your honor to celebrate your achievements. As most graduation ceremonies limit you on how many guests can attend your graduation ceremony, this will give your friends and family members a chance to congratulate you on your accomplishments and find out about your future career or educational plans. You may double your graduation announcement as an announcement and a party invitation, or sent out separate graduation announcements and invitations. Our collection of graduation announcements and party invitations will guide you to choosing the perfect announcement or invitation to commemorate your graduation, be it trendy and personal with a digital photo card or one of our school colors or career graduation cards. Should you be having your own graduation party, it is acceptable to send out your graduation invitations a few weeks prior to your graduation date, so that all of your guests are able to attend your party, which will likely be very close to your graduation date.
