Dr. Seuss said it well: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”
Graduation is such a special time for kids and parents, and for everyone who takes pride in seeing a young person on the brink of new discoveries and adventures. They’ve made it through school and now the possibilities are endless! For parents, graduation is a special celebration. The hard work of parenting has paid off, yet it’s bittersweet to watch our “little ones” head off into the world without us.
A customized graduation announcement is a wonderful way to celebrate your child’s accomplishment. Photos are among the ways we look back on our child’s progress and see how much they’ve grown and how far they’ve come. Using photos of your choosing on a graduation announcement or party invitation is a special way to share your child’s unique journey. Plus, it is the perfect excuse to sift through the photos and take the time to look back on all of the great memories and stages of your child’s life.
Creating a customized announcement is also an opportunity to reminisce with your child as you select favorite photos and share memories. Ask for their input on design and what stands out the most for them as accomplishments they’d like to share. Then give them a big hug and remind them that “commencement” is just another word for “the beginning”.
