Wondering how to word your graduation announcements? We’ve gathered wording ideas for both high school and college graduations. We’ve even included some tips on how to properly write out your college degree.
Remember – your graduation is a huge deal, so even you’re choosing a less-formal looking announcement, you should still make sure your wording is spot-on. Write out every word fully, double-check your spelling and grammar and don’t leave off key pieces of information.
Party invitation wording is more casual, but the same rules hold true. Enlist someone to check your wording before ordering your grad party invitations to make sure you’ve covered all the basics.
Now, let’s take look at the best ways to word your announcement or invitation, given the circumstance.
