What is a Trifold Graduation Announcement?

So what exactly is a trifold grad announcement? Great question! A trifold card is an announcement that folds up, accordion style. It includes three separate panels and two folds. Horizontal cards can be folded and displayed on a tabletop, making them a fun keepsake too.

The best thing about these cards is that they’re printed front and back so there’s just oodles of room to add all the grad’s senior photos, casual snapshots, photos from sports events and even pictures from throughout their childhood.
