WHEN TO SEND
Unless you’re having a party and you want your announcement to double as an invitation, you won’t have to send your graduation announcement that many weeks ahead. If you are having a Graduation party, it’s considerate to give at least a month’s notice. If you’re sending your announcement before the graduation ceremony, make sure everything is in order and there’s no reason why your child wouldn’t be able to graduate. If you’re sending after graduation, this gives you an opportunity to include pictures of the graduate in their cap and gown.
Feel free to share your unique graduation announcement with us on social media! Please tag us @SnapfishUS and #snapfish on Facebook, Instagram & Pinterest. Check out the Snapfish site for even more custom gift ideas.
