Why is Grad Thank You Note Wording Important?

Crafting heartfelt thank you notes is crucial for grads to express appreciation to loved ones. With Shutterfly, you can choose graduation thank you cards that reflect your style. Unsure what to say? Here’s guidance for each note. Feeling overwhelmed? It’s normal! Remember to express sincere gratitude to those who made your graduation memorable. Your words should be genuine, respectful, and handwritten, showing your love and appreciation for their thoughtful gifts.

A Tip Before You Start Your Graduation Thank You Note

Before you have time to fret about the thank you card wording you’ll be using, you may be asking yourself, “Who gave me what?” Here’s a tip we think you’ll find useful.

Keep track of the gifts: There is nothing quite like a heartfelt thank you message that shows your appreciation and you want to make sure you don’t forget anyone. We all love to feel appreciated and having a list to refer to, in terms of who got you what, will make your graduation thank you card writing just that much smoother.

What Do You Say In A Graduation Thank You Card?

If you are looking for graduation thank you card sayings and wording ideas, let us help. Whether you want your card to have a funny flare, a genuine tone or a serious feel, we have you covered. Not to mention, we have examples for just about every graduation occasion including; high school, college, nursing and more. Craft your very own personal and appreciative messages for everyone on your list with some of our favorite thank you sayings fit to suit any relationship you have with the recipient. Follow these five steps and the below guidance for the perfect thank you note.

1. First Sentence

Say thanks right from the get go. Some examples include:

• “Thank you for the generous gift”
• “Thank you for joining me in celebrating my graduation.”

2. Second Sentence

Mention the Gift: If you did receive a graduation gift, mention it and tell them what you are going to be using it for. For example, if you were gifted a locket necklace from your grandma, tell her how much you will be wearing the necklace in the future. Whether it be to special occasions or for everyday wear, your grandma will feel happy knowing she gifted you something you love and will wear all the time. You can also look to our resource on graduation gift etiquette for additional help.

3. Express Emotion

Tell them just how happy it made you to see them at your graduation ceremony or how much you missed them at your ceremony but appreciate the generous card they sent. If a family member you haven’t seen in years surprises you at your graduation, tell them how emotional it made you to see them and how it made you burst into tears of joy. They’ll surely feel special knowing their appearance was worth all the while.

4. Personalization is Key

You don’t want every thanks to seem generic and as if you didn’t put any special thought into the sentiment. Add special details and appreciation to each card by mentioning specifics and always hand write the notes. You can add specific graduation quotes or sayings within your card as well to give it a personal or unique touch.

5. Address Thank You With Care

If it’s an old friend or someone whom you’re close with, go ahead and use their first name or nickname, but if it’s someone like your parents’ friends that you don’t know particularly well use Mr. and Mrs. Last Name to show your respect.

How Long Should Your Message Be?

The message doesn’t need to be multiple paragraphs for it to feel sincere. A thoughtful message may not take more than two or three sentences. Just make sure that whatever you write comes from the heart and shows your appreciation.

When Should You Send Thank You Notes?

The key thing to remember when thinking about the timing of sending your grad thank you notes is to not wait too long. Try to send your thank you messages three to four days after your celebrations end, or immediately after receiving a gift or contribution in response to your graduation announcement or graduation invitations.

• Grad Announcement Ideas

What Are Graduation Announcements?

Graduation announcements are a traditional way to share the exciting news of your academic achievement with family, friends, and loved ones. These announcements serve as formal notifications, informing recipients that you have successfully completed your educational journey and will be graduating. They typically include important details such as your name, the name of your educational institution, the degree or diploma you have earned, and the date and location of the graduation ceremony.

Don’t shy away from sending grad announcements to your acquaintances. Graduation announcement cards can signal that you’re open for job opportunities and internships, and sometimes, you might make a connection from a family friend who’s hiring for your skillset.

Grad Announcements vs. Graduation Invitations

Graduation announcements are not to be confused with graduation party invitations, as they are meant to share the news rather than extend an invitation to attend the actual ceremony. They are a wonderful way to celebrate your accomplishments and allow others to join in the joyous occasion, even if they cannot physically be present.

How To Address Graduation Announcements

When sending out your graduation announcements, it’s essential to address them correctly to ensure they reach your intended recipients in style. Here’s a simple guide to help you address your graduation announcements with ease:

• Recipient’s Name: Begin by addressing the envelope to the intended recipient. Use their full name, including any titles or suffixes, such as “Mr. John Smith” or “Dr. Emily Jones.”
• Family and Friends: If you’re sending announcements to family members or close friends, you can address them using a more informal tone. For example, you might write “Dear Grandma and Grandpa” or “Dear Aunt Sarah.”
• Include Titles if Appropriate: If the recipient holds a professional title or honorific, such as “Dr.” or “Honorable,” be sure to include it in the address. For example, “Dr. and Mrs. Michael Johnson” or “The Honorable James Smith.”
• Use Proper Salutations: Begin the announcement with a formal salutation, such as “Dear” or “To,” followed by the recipient’s name. If you’re addressing a group, you can use “Dear Friends and Family” or “To Our Loved Ones.”
• Double-Check Addresses: Before sending out your announcements, double-check the addresses to ensure accuracy. Make sure you have the correct spelling of the recipient’s name and their current mailing address to avoid any delays or errors.

By following these simple guidelines, you can address your graduation announcements with confidence and ensure that they make a memorable impression on your recipients. Celebrate your achievement in style and share the joy of your graduation with your loved ones!

When To Send Graduation Announcements

Experts have different takes on when announcements should be sent. Etiquette points to two weeks prior to the ceremony if you’re including an invitation, and up two weeks following for standard college grad announcements.

The end of a school year can be packed with graduation parties, finals, and overall stress, so try to spread out the tasks that go along with creating these announcements.

• Four Months: Take senior portraits.
• Three Months: Design the layout and order your announcements.
• Two Months: Gather recipients’ names and addresses.
• One Month: Address and assemble the announcements.
• Three Weeks: Send your grad announcement cards.
• Post Ceremony: Send out graduation thank you cards.

Your graduation cards should embody your personality. The recipients want to see you at your best, and a great way to show them is through a unique grad announcement. Get creative, or keep it traditional. Either way, make sure you’re sharing your favorite parts of your academic journey.

Tassel

Nothing says accomplishment like the tassel on a grad cap. Signal your celebration with a detailed grad cap front and center and build with the textual details of a tassel. Take it a step further by using your alma mater colors as the palette.

Full Photo

Acquaintances and maybe even some relatives haven’t seen you in years. What better way to show your achievements than with a photo update?

Graduation Party

Send your announcements out after celebrating with your inner circle of family and friends. Don’t forget to take informal pictures at the event. You’ll save a bundle on professional photography, and everyone loves a candid shot.

Photo Cards

To keep things formal, you can include a text-only graduation invitation and add some photo prints inside. If you’re sending high school graduation announcements, be sure to include your senior portraits. You’ll get the best of both worlds with extra space for personalization on the announcement, plus the fun grad photos.

My Favorites

Your tastes have most likely changed since you’ve seen a lot of the people you plan to send your invites to. Your interests are a great representation of what you’ve been up to, and often shed some light on where you might go in the future. Customize your graduation announcements with photos of you and your favorite things, like a sports ball if you’re an athlete or even photos of you with your pets.

Graduation Quotes

Whether inspirational or humorous, sharing a graduation quote is a great way to add some personality to your announcement. You can even create a themed string of quotes that embodies where you started school and how far you’ve come.

Multi Photo Grad Announcements

Add some depth to your grad announcements with a fun fold-out design that has a collection of your favorite photos. If you had a professional photographer, multi-photo grad announcements are a great option to showcase all your favorite shots without having to limit your choices. Multi-photo cards can be an excellent choice if you’re sending out college graduation announcements. Get creative by including photos of you in different places around your campus.

Graduation Thank You Cards

Graduation thank you cards are almost just as important as the announcements themselves. Imagine your loved ones spent ample time creating personalized graduation gifts like canvas wall art for your dorm or a photo blanket featuring your most cherished memories. Keep it short and sweet, but make sure to send a handwritten note to everyone who sent a gift to you. Write your thank you cards as soon as you can and send them out a few weeks after the graduation ceremony or grad party.

Wrapping Up on Creating Grad Announcements

When designing your grad party invites, think about how you want to present yourself with the trim and paper type. Your trim can be classic square for a traditional look while a bracket, ticket, or scallop trim can create a modern invite. If you want a sleek, shinier finish, go for photo paper. For an elegant print, use a pearl shimmer cardstock.

With a little bit of thought, creating a custom graduation announcement is a simple and effective way for your family and friends to be a part of your accomplishments. Still stuck on what to say? Follow our guide to graduation announcement wording for even more inspiration.

Begin with the outer envelope, using formal titles such as Mr., Mrs., or Dr., followed by the full name of the recipient. Use proper capitalization and avoid abbreviations.

Taking the time to address graduation announcements with care and attention to detail will ensure that your loved ones feel honored and included in your special milestone.

When To Send Graduation Announcements

So, when do you send out graduation announcements? Graduation announcements with included invites should be sent at least two to three weeks before your graduation ceremony. This will give guests enough time to receive their invitations and RSVP early. It’s a nice gesture to give your guests enough time to make arrangements to attend the celebrations. If you know which guests will be traveling from out of town, you can give them advanced notice, in addition to sending an announcement.

If your announcement does not include an invitation to the commencement celebrations then it is permissible to send it within a wider time frame specifically, two weeks before the date or up to four weeks after the event is acceptable. Be mindful when you are sending your announcements and don’t send them too far after the event. Looking for more detailed instruction?
