If you are a High School graduate, you can also consider including information on your future plans or college name, along with any high school honors gained on your announcement card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why send a graduate announcement?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, Mom &amp; Dad are proud of your achievements and want to brag. Secondly, your friends and family genuinely want to know \u2013 especially those you are not closes to on a daily basis. Thirdly, if you are a College Grad, it is a great way to start networking; you can connect with your parent\u2019s friends and family members who may have positions in areas you are keen to work in. Graduate Announcements are tradition; they are the first in line of traditional updates of life\u2019s achievements, like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"save the dates (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/save-the-date-cards\" target=\"_blank\">save the dates<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"birth announcements (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/baby-announcements\" target=\"_blank\">birth announcements<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"holiday cards (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/christmas-and-holiday-cards\" target=\"_blank\">holiday cards<\/a> and even <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"funeral announcements (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/in-memoriam-cards\" target=\"_blank\">funeral announcements<\/a>. They are also a perfect way to say thank you to those you helped you get this far; anyone who has influenced your studies and help you on the path to your future career should be informed of the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graduate Announcements are a keepsake for you and the family. They are perfect for including in a photo book or framing. Finding a copy of your graduation announcement years in the future will make you smile and will be a great window to look back through to remember this exciting time of your life with your future family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.snapfish-promo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/03\/4-grad-announcement-1080x1080-20200316-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Graduation cards look great framed or included in a Graduation photo book\" class=\"wp-image-16313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/4-grad-announcement-1080x1080-20200316-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/4-grad-announcement-1080x1080-20200316-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/4-grad-announcement-1080x1080-20200316-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/4-grad-announcement-1080x1080-20200316-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/4-grad-announcement-1080x1080-20200316-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/4-grad-announcement-1080x1080-20200316-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/4-grad-announcement-1080x1080-20200316.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who do you send Graduate Announcement cards to?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A good rule of thumb is to send an announcement to anyone your family would send a Christmas or holiday card to. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/graduation-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Graduation cards&nbsp;<\/a> signal that they\u2019re open for job opportunities and internships, and sometimes, might make a connection from a family friend who\u2019s hiring for their skillset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Close Friends and Family<\/strong>:&nbsp; No one loves bragging about your Graduate\u2019s accomplishments more than friends and family.

As well as the key information (like who, when and where), a graduation announcement can include an&nbsp;inspirational graduation quote, or words that outline the your future aspirations, or you choose a color scheme that reflects where you studied, or want to study, to set the overall tone for the ceremony and celebrations that follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should you say on the card?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the obvious details, adding a quote&nbsp;to your announcement card helps you make your card your own and shows and how far you\u2019ve come. The key information to include on your graduation announcements is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Full Name<\/li><li>Graduation Year<\/li><li>Name of High School or College<\/li><li>Degree Earned and Major<\/li><li>Honors<\/li><li>Date of Graduation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should a Grad Announcement look like?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.com\/graduation-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"graduation cards (opens in a new tab)\">graduation cards<\/a> should reflect who you are. Make sure the recipients see you at your best. Get creative, go modern, or keep it traditional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about how you want your announcement to look. As well as the design and imagery, you also need to consider the card size, trim, format and paper type. Your trim can be classic square-edge for a traditional look or a rounded, elegant or scallop trim can create a more contemporary looking invite. You can choose standard flat card, foil card or seal and send formats. If you want a sleek, shinier finish, go for photo paper, or for an elegant print, use a matte card stock, and consider an upgrade from standard to premium matte card stock. Choose whether to include return address printing on the envelopes for easier RSVP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know how the graduate card should look, you need to consider the design layout. Do you want full-photo, multi-photo, text only, or create our own? Acquaintances and many family friends &amp; relatives possibly haven\u2019t seen you in years. What better way to show your achievements than with an updated photo? You could even take your design a step further and use you your alma mater colors as the palette.
