Announcements should be sent out to family, friends and neighbors with whom you wish to announce your graduation. Traditionally, they are a formal way to share your achievement with others and not necessarily an invitation to the ceremony. If you send someone an invitation to your graduation party, it is a good idea to send them an announcement as well. Each traditional announcement is printed on high-quality vellum with your school’s crest in foil. Every announcement is custom-made by and for your school in the U.S.A.

Photo announcements are a great way to add a personal touch to your graduation. Add your favorite pictures, fonts, and colors to many of the designs that are available. Pair a photo announcement with a traditional announcement for a complete ensemble.

When you are mailing your announcement to a family member, friend or neighbor to invite them to your ceremony, then your announcement should be mailed 2-4 weeks before commencement. If you are using your announcement to share your graduation others, then it should be mailed 2 weeks before to 2 weeks after your ceremony. All announcements should be hand addressed and mailed first class.

The deadline to order your Cap, Gown & Tassel is January 31.  Name cards and other custom products are only available through March 31. Announcements are printed in a limited quantity and available on a first-come first-served basis.
