Prepare Graduation Announcements







A graduate's special milestone is marked by the sending of announcements.


Graduation announcements are sent out to announce the achievement of a student's graduation, typically from high school or college. Graduation announcements are a precursor to the actual graduation party invitations. Graduation parties can be delayed for several months due to scheduling conflicts, so a graduation announcement allows you to alert loved ones of the special occasion closer to the actual event. Announcements also allow you to include people you would not be able to invite to a graduation party or would not be able to attend. Announcements allow you to share the news without having to worry about accommodating everyone on your mailing list for a party.


Instructions


1. Assemble your mailing list. Since this is not a party invitation, feel free to send as many as you like to friends and family who live anywhere.


2. Compose the announcements. In the opening line, make the announcement, such as "Please join us in congratulating Samantha on her graduation from MSU."


3. Add a personal note to bring a touch of intimacy to the announcement. For example, "Samantha's father and I are filled with pride at the accomplishments she has made throughout her educational career. We look forward to seeing what her bright future is to bring."








4. Include a GPA in the announcement if it is a 3.0 or higher. If you are including a GPA, it should be one that will invoke pride and success. For example, "Samantha graduated with an impressive GPA of 3.7, a sign of her hard work and determination."


5. Add a note to show appreciation for the love and support of friends and family. For example, "The love and support of Samantha's family and friends helped bring about the success we are now celebrating. For that, thank you."
