Ready to make some memories for 2023?

2023 Graduation is around the corner, have you made your graduation announcements yet?

When do you send out graduation announcements? Graduation announcements with included invites should be sent at least two to three weeks before your graduation ceremony. This gives guests plenty of time to receive their invites and RSVP early.

Why Send A Graduation Announcement?

Graduation is an important time to appreciate all you have accomplished and celebrate with close ones. This is your day, the moment when all of your hard work and accomplishments pay off. But before the big day, you need to send out your graduation announcements.

What To Write On Graduation Announcements

Your graduation announcement should reflect your own personality and style. Graduation announcements start as the beginning of a long line of traditional correspondence. You want your announcement to be sleek, easy to read, and unique to you.  Along with important information, a graduation announcement can include an inspirational quote to set the overall tone for the ceremony and celebrations . A few words or graduation wishes that highlight the importance of education and hard work would make for a great addition to your announcement.

The most important information to make sure appears on your graduation announcements are as follows:

• Full Name
• Graduation Year
• Name of High School or College
• Degree Earned and Major
• Honors
• Date of Graduation

Who To Send Graduation Announcements To

You can send graduation announcements to anyone that your family would send a holiday card to. This is a great rule to use when creating your announcement guest list. If you’re stuck and need more help, follow our more detailed list below:

• Parents and other close family members. Even though these people have probably already been informed of all the details, we are sure they would not mind having a personalized graduation announcement on the fridge for all to see.
• Extended Family. Think grandparents, uncles, aunts, great aunts and uncles, and cousins that you may not see everyday. Even if they live out of town, they will want to hear about your accomplishments and see the announcement.
• Friends. Your friends will want to celebrate this special accomplishment with you!
• Tutors, Teachers and Classmates. Don’t forget about the people you spent the most time with during your academic journey.

Graduation announcements with included invites should be sent at least two to three weeks before the graduation ceremony. This will give guests enough time to receive their invitations and RSVP. It’s a nice gesture to give your guests enough time to make arrangements to attend. If you know which guests will be traveling from out of town, you can give them advanced notice, along with sending an announcement.
