This is such an exciting time for you. An upcoming graduation is always a cause for joy and celebration. It marks the culmination of years of hard work, tons of effort, literal blood, sweat, and tears, and the anticipation of starting a new chapter in life.
When making graduation announcements, creativity plays a key role in showcasing not just the achievement, but also the personality and journey of the graduate. A simple yet elegant design might be preferred by some, while others might want to go all out, featuring their school colors, mascot or their field of study. But remember, the real essence of the announcement lies in its heart-touching message.
In penning down the announcement, start with the graduate’s full name and possibly attached photo. The thrill that we get seeing your name (or your child’s name for the proud parents out there) printed officially on the graduation invitation is always special. Remember to include the year and the name of the institution from where he or she is graduating, as it glorifies the academic accomplishment.
Following this make sure you include the degree or honors, if any, received. This gives others a hint into the subject specialization of the graduate and further adds premiums to the achievement. And if there’s anything memorable from the graduate’s time at the institution like something humorous or an adage, it never hurts to sprinkle a bit of that.
If you are announcing an upcoming celebration or party, do include the date, time and venue of the event. This offers those receiving the graduation announcements the opportunity to plan and celebrate with you. If the event is online make sure you add the link or details to join the online platform.
Achieving a degree deserves to be marked with pride and shared with your networks. Announcing your accomplishment—the right way—can bring all your friends and family together to share in the joy. Not only does a graduation announcement symbolize a significant academic milestone, but it also brings home a terrific amount of pride. A well-crafted graduation announcement provides an official recognition—both personally and professionally—of the dedication and hard work that went into achieving it. We wish you all the happiness and success in your future endeavors!
