High School Graduation Announcements - Ideas and Useful Pointers

Are you seeking tips and ideas for making high school graduation announcements?

High school graduation is a special time in any young person's life and, as a parent, you want to shout about your child's accomplishment from the rooftops.

You want to run through the local shopping malls and shake hands with every person you meet, telling them about what a wonderful day it is going to be because your son or daughter is graduating from high school. That is why you want to choose the right graduation announcements that will do this glorious day a little bit of justice for your special child.

High school graduation announcements can range from quite fancy, costing a fair amount of money, to something simpler. You can use your own creative imagination to help create these graduation announcements, or you can have someone else design them. You can also choose to use a template that will help you print out your own, just by simply adding your son or daughter's name, the date, and their high school, and you will be ready to send them to all of your family and friends.

Formal Announcements

Formal high school graduation announcements can cost between $5 to $20 or more for each one, depending on the layout, the font used, and the color ink. Many announcements are traditionally printed on soft white paper with gold lettering, but for a high school graduation, you may want to choose a combination that includes your son or daughter's school colors.

For example, if your child's school colors are green and white, you could choose a green card layout with white lettering. Or, if you prefer a cross between traditional and contemporary, go with the white card stock with green lettering.

Graduation Cap designs

Another great idea for high school graduation announcements is to have them printed on mini graduation caps in your child's school colors. If you have a tight budget, you can make your own caps with some strong construction paper or card stock. Simply cut out a square, add a notch in the center and attach a tassel. You can make your own tassels from any kind of simple yarn fabric.

This will take some time, but if you are only planning on sending out twenty graduation announcements or so, it could work out perfectly.

Make your own cards

If you are limited with your budget, and a great many families are during this tough economy, you can certainly opt to make your own basic cards. There are a number of websites online that offer free cards or relatively inexpensive templates for use.

Just remember that when something is free, it is not going to measure up to the standards that you may prefer. If the high school graduation announcements are important to you, even if they are not that important to your child, then it may pay for you to spend a little extra for a quality layout or template.

When you print your own high school graduation announcements, make sure that you use paper that is greater than the standard 24 pound weight of printer paper. Sixty pound weight paper is ideal for card stock, can be folded easily, and appears more professional. The only disadvantage that you will face when printing your own is that most home-based printers do not offer the option of printing in white.

Your son or daughter has achieved something wonderful. You want to celebrate it from beginning to end. That's why you should send out quality high school graduation announcements that will mark this occasion for all time and allow your friends and family members to share in this wonderful time.
