Should you still send graduation announcements this year?
Of course you should! You have worked hard to get here and that deserves recognition and celebration!
Spring is typically the time of year when I am designing, finalizing and delivering graduation announcements. We use a few pictures from your senior portrait session, announce the date of your graduation, include any upcoming party details or where you’ll be headed off to college. But this year, due to the uncertainty that coronavirus has brought – we may have to rethink what info we put on announcements. Here are a few options.
SIMPLE GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS
Keep it simple. This type of announcement includes just the pertinent info- your name, your graduation class year, and your high school.
*All real names and personal info have been changed
GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS/INVITATIONS WITH CEREMONY OR PARTY INFO
This announcement includes all of the details for the ceremony or grad party. Since this one tends to have the most specifics, this year it may be better to go with one of the less specific options. You can always share ceremony or party details later.
GRAD ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH QUOTE
In the place of party info, add in a favorite quote. This is a perfect time to spread some optimism and positivity along with your big accomplishment.
GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH COLLEGE PLANS
Why not share your future college plans? Your friends and family will love to know what your plans are for the future.
So yes, I think you should still announce this milestone. Your accomplishment deserves to be celebrated, and think of all of the mailboxes you will brighten!
