How did you get here? One second, you\u2019re dragging a very timid six year-old to their first little league practice, and the next, you can barely get them to commit to curfew after Friday night games. You\u2019ve watched them grow physically, mentally, and emotionally, applying for colleges and taking the SATs. And now, here you are \u2014 picking out their high school graduation announcements<\/a>.<\/p>\n Announcing a high school\u00a0graduation can be a bittersweet affair. For one, you\u2019re so proud of your graduate and all they accomplished over the past four years (or eighteen, for that matter). But on the other hand, you know they\u2019ll soon be moving out, tackling higher ed or their first job.<\/p>\n And while no one\u2019s promising you won\u2019t shed a tear or two at the\u00a0commencement speech, for now, you\u2019re promising to keep things together. You have announcements to send and perhaps a party throw<\/a>, so you\u2019re keeping it happy-thoughts only. A high school\u00a0graduation ceremony is one of the highlights of any young person\u2019s life. No matter where they go next or what they accomplish, receiving their diploma will be one of the first major milestones in their life \u2014 and these announcements<\/a>\u00a0are sure to commemorate it in the best way possible.<\/p>\n Design: Shari Margolin Design<\/p><\/div>\n This announcement<\/a>\u00a0features a senior portrait to the right with the commencement details on the left. If you’re throwing a party after the senior class throws their caps in the air, you can easily customize this announcement\u00a0with the invitation details. Invite friends and family to your house for a backyard gathering after the ceremony, as soon as your graduate moves that tassel from one side of their cap to the other.<\/p>\n Design: Signature Greenvelope<\/p><\/div>\n Ever since they received that \u201cbig envelope\u201d in the mail, your high school\u00a0graduate has been counting down the days till they can set foot on their college campus. They\u2019ve already bought their college gear \u2014 university sweatshirts, sweatpants, and a drawer\u2019s worth of t-shirts.<\/p>\n To celebrate your graduate completing high school\u00a0and getting into their dream school, send out this classic graduation invitation<\/a>. Customize it with their future school colors, and write where they\u2019re headed come fall semester.<\/p>\n Design: Stacey Meacham Design, LLC<\/p><\/div>\n You practically had to force her to write her college essays and visit potential schools, but when it came to scheduling senior portraits, she was the one pushing the agenda.<\/p>\n For your soon-to-be-graduated high school\u00a0fashionista, send out this <\/a>high school graduation announcement<\/a>, complete with a full-bleed photo. The word \u201cgrad\u201d is written in cursive font, with the details of the commencement ceremony in the bottom right hand corner of the photo card.<\/p>\n Design: Claudia Owen<\/p><\/div>\n Your graduate absolutely loved being an upperclassman. They loved leading the chants at homecoming, mentoring the freshmen, and walking high school\u00a0hallways as if they were their own personal playground.<\/p>\n While you know they may be in for quite the awakening come fall semester when they\u2019re a freshman once again, you\u2019re ready to let them live their best life one more time. Customize this photo graduation announcement<\/a>\u00a0with their high school colors\u00a0and a senior portrait capturing their personality.<\/p>\n Design: Shari Margolin Design<\/p><\/div>\n For the past month, every time the subject of graduation has come up, you\u2019ve been listening to the endless teenager pleads of, \u201cPleaseeee\u00a0don\u2019t make a big deal about this.” And while you bit\u00a0your tongue 95% of the time, you just can\u2019t help yourself.<\/p>\n You really want to throw a graduation party\u00a0for your young (gulp) adult, but in the name of compromise, you\u2019re keeping it small. This simple <\/a>graduation party invitation<\/a>\u00a0is perfect for backyard BBQs, family dinners, and other casual gatherings.<\/p>\n Design: Stacey Meacham Design, LLC<\/p><\/div>\n Does your soon-to-be grad absolutely love the spotlight? Do you fully expect her to toss her hair while she tosses her graduation cap\u00a0during the commencement address? Then she may fall in love with this <\/a>high-quality<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>grad announcement<\/a>, sprinkled with confetti\u00a0and a jeweled background. Choose from silver or gold foil, and customize it with the details of her graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n Design: Eric Clegg Design<\/p><\/div>\n This minimalist <\/a>graduation card<\/a>\u00a0is simple and clean, ideal for any modern grad. Choose from a number of metallic color palettes, then personalize it with a full-bleed photo of your graduate.<\/p>\n The word \u201cgrad\u201d is written in box\u00a0lettering in the top right corner of the card, while the graduate\u2019s name and details of the ceremony are listed in the bottom right corner. If you\u2019re throwing a party before or after the ceremony, feel free to add the details.<\/p>\n Design: Shari Margolin Design<\/p><\/div>\n This simple <\/a>graduation announcement card<\/a>\u00a0certainly earns our stamp of approval, with your grad\u2019s high school\u00a0graduation year logo\u00a0featured in the top right corner.<\/p>\n Send out this simple invitation to all your friends and loved ones, inviting them to your home, backyard, or community hangout for food and drinks after the commencement ceremony. You can add a DIY-touch by personalizing it with your grad\u2019s high school colors, or choose from a pre-designed color palette.<\/p>\n Design: Eric Clegg Design<\/p><\/div>\n This simple <\/a>photo announcement card<\/a>\u00a0can easily be personalized for any graduation ceremony. It features a contemporary, watercolor\u00a0background with the word \u201cgraduate\u201d written in cursive lettering across the top.<\/p>\n Select one of your grad’s favorite senior portraits on the front, add their name or monogram\u00a0it with their initials, and list the details of their graduation ceremony toward the bottom of the card.<\/p>\n Design: Paper Raven Co.<\/p><\/div>\n After much deliberation, your high school\u00a0graduate knows where they\u2019re off to in the fall. This one-of-<\/a>a-kind<\/a>\u00a0card <\/a>can easily be customized by adding their university of choice.<\/p>\n Add the details of their graduation ceremony at the bottom of the card, or take things one step further and write the year they\u2019re expected to earn their undergraduate degree. After all, you\u2019ll be sending out college graduation announcements\u00a0before you can say, \u201cB.A.\u201d<\/p>\n To a high school\u00a0graduate, receiving their diploma may be the biggest moment of their lives \u2014 at this point. But as you know all too well, they have so many wonderful, exciting milestones up ahead.<\/p>\n Before you (or they) know it, they’ll be receiving their undergraduate degree, and may go on to earn their M.B.A. Perhaps they’ll enter the job market and proudly phone home when they receive their very first business card<\/a>. And soon, they’ll start families of their own, sending out wedding invitations<\/a>, family <\/a>holiday cards<\/a>, and birth announcements<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>(sorry, we should have told you to sit down for that one).<\/p>\n And it all started with you setting them up for success \u2014 so they can proudly walk across that stage and receive their diploma. From our Greenvelope family to yours, congratulations to the graduate!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How did you get here?
