The graduating of your high schooler is certainly a major stepping stone in his life. After all, he has just completed 13 years of schooling, beginning with kindergarten up through, and including his 12th grade. And, hopefully, one or more universities or colleges have even accepted him. You, as his parents, want to help him celebrate this significant educational milestone in him life by letting your friends and family members know that he is graduating from high school. If you have a large circle of friends to send announcements to, you might want to add a line on the announcements that reads, ‘No gifts, please’. By adding this phrase, those receiving them will not think that ‘He just wants a gift’.

The purpose of an announcement for high school graduation is much different from graduation invitations, as the invitation specifically request the attendance of those receiving them to the actual graduation ceremony, while the announcements informs those receiving them that your child is OR has received his high school diploma. Since all school, particularly high schools, have begun limiting the number of guests a graduate may invite to the graduation ceremonies because of space limitations. Consequently, many school issue a limited number of admission tickets to each graduate to give to those they want to attend their ceremony. For this reason, it is usually best to determine in advance how many tickets the high school allows for each graduate and plan accordingly.

A graduation announcement card is used to announce the happy news for the graduate and his family. When you order and personalize your announcement stationery cards, you will want to order a few extras beyond your circle of friends and family as there are always those who you omitted from you initial list. Since your list of those invited to your ceremony, you can invite those who announcements are sent to, to your celebration party after the ceremony. Even though you could not invite them to the graduating ceremony, you can invite them to your teen’s party.

Everyone, including your family and friends, benefits from receiving your child’s graduation announcement or invitation. Your family and friends get to share in your family’s excitement, your happy graduate is able to spread the news, and all while you are getting the enjoyment of marking a happy family event. Family members and friends feel as though they were included when your graduate sends him customized announcements out.
