Graduation Announcement
Would You Like To Dance …. Long ago it was common to expect a graduation announcement and an invitation to the commencement ceremony. There was commonly a graduation ball to be held that evening. Today, the number of students in graduating classes has grown so large because of population growth, schools have to start limiting attendance at some ceremonies. This evolved into the development of a graduation announcement as opposed to a graduation invitation. Let’s Take a Whirl A grad announcement is so much more than a piece of fancy paper. It is a way to tell family, friends and the community that you have successfully completed your program of study. When there are not enough tickets to invite everyone to the graduation ceremony, families often have a party to celebrate. The graduation announcement tells the world you are ready to move into the next phase of your life. Announcements are usually sent for high school and college graduations. Schools normally offer an official invitation, but announcements are often personalized. Choosing Your Song Graduation traditionally represents the completion of years of study, sometimes accompanied by blood, sweat and tears... Formal announcements are the tradition and usually include the following: When you purchase the official announcement through your school, there are typically, limited options to choose from. That's because most schools rely on tradition and conformity. When you design your own personal grad announcement, the variations are endless.
When you purchase a graduation invitation through the school’s designated vendor, packages normally include a keepsake announcement. The keepsake is a nicer version of the ones being mailed out and is suitable for framing. Your Swan Song High school or college graduation is such a special time in your life. It only happens once and that particular song will not be sung again. It is a time mixed with joy and reflection and anticipation. A graduation announcement should reflect these mixed emotions with grace and dignity. If the announcement includes an invitation to a graduation party, then the announcement should send a message of celebration. There are printers available locally and online that can print whatever you need to announce your special day. Authorized printers have a stock of school emblems and logos. There are several options to make your graduation very formal... or very personal. If you choose to be more formal, the name card, graduation picture and announcement are inserted into the inner envelope. The inner envelope is then placed inside the outer envelope. The envelope should be hand addressed. A less formal announcement may not have the inner envelope. The available formats to choose from are endless. Sometimes family or school tradition has its role and will guide some of your graduation announcement decisions. But no matter what format you choose, when the recipient opens the envelope and reads of your success, the pride in your accomplishment will be obvious.
