FAQ's About Graduation Announcements And Invitations
What Should A Graduation Announcement Say?

Your name: Be sure to include your full name, including your middle name or initial if you have one.
Your degree or diploma: Mention the degree or diploma that you have earned, along with the name of the school you attended.
The date and location of the graduation ceremony: Include the date and time of the ceremony, as well as the location of the venue.
Your future plans: If you have plans for the future, such as attending graduate school or starting a job, you may want to mention them briefly.

How Far In Advance Do You Send Graduation Announcements?
It's a good idea to send graduation announcements a few weeks before or after the graduation ceremony. This allows enough time for your family and friends to receive the announcement and make any necessary travel arrangements if they plan to attend the ceremony.
For high school graduations, you may want to send announcements a few weeks before the ceremony, as many high school graduation ceremonies take place in late May or early June. For college graduations, which often take place in May or June, you may want to send announcements in April or May.
If you're sending announcements to friends and family who live far away, you may want to send them a bit earlier to allow for additional shipping time. Additionally, if you plan to include a party invitation along with your announcement, be sure to send it at least a few weeks before the party date.
Overall, aim to send graduation announcements 2-4 weeks before or after the ceremony, keeping in mind the travel plans and schedules of your loved ones.
Who Should Graduation Announcements Go To?
