Spring commencement is almost here. With end-of-semester projects and final exams front of mind, it's easy to forget about the party prep.
For example, when is the best time to send out graduation announcements?
A: The best time to send out spring semester graduation announcements is typically around six weeks before the ceremony.
This will give your friends and family enough time to mark their calendars and make arrangements to celebrate with you.
What information should you include in graduation announcements?
A: When sending out graduation announcements, it's important to include the date, time and location of the ceremony. You'll also want to include the names of your guests of honor and any special instructions, such as "no gifts please."
As you send out your invitations, be sure to keep your guests in mind and order extra announcements for any last-minute invitees you'd like to add. This will ensure that everyone who wants one will receive an invitation.
What information should you include in graduation announcements?
A: Be sure to assemble your graduation announcement with the text facing up, toward the flap of the envelope. Some graduation announcements also include an inner envelope inside the outer envelope; follow these same directions with both envelopes.
Some people choose to include a photo of the graduate, while others opt for a more traditional design. If you're including a photo, it's important to make sure that the resolution is high enough to print clearly.
