Inviting
Others To Your Graduation
By Dawn

If you are
graduating, it is a busy time. There are lots of loose ends that
must be tied up around campus. Finals and term papers are taking
up a lot of your time. But now is the time to put out a graduation
announcement to proclaim your accomplishment and share it with
friends and family.
Addressing
The Announcements
Addressing
the envelopes and announcements can be difficult for a beginner.
On the outside of the envelope the address should be written formally.
Use the full title such as Mr. or Mrs. and the full name of the
recipient. Inside the announcement can be less formal. If you
are sending the graduation announcement to a close family member,
use their family name such as Grandma or Uncle Tom.
Sending
The Announcements
Knowing when
to send the announcement is an important issue. The graduation
announcements should be sent 1 to 2 weeks before the graduation
date. This will allow time for people and family members to make
plans to attend. It will also give people plenty of time to call
and congratulate or send a card.
Thank
You Notes
Graduation
announcements are not request for gifts. Do not expect gifts from
those to whom you send an announcement. In some cases, family
members will provide gifts or throw a party. If you do receive
gifts be sure to send a thank you note. It is a very nice gesture
for those who have gone out of their way to congratulate the graduate.
Sending graduation
announcements is a great way to present your great accomplishment.
It is also the time to send your respect to those who helped you
along the way.
