Graduation Thank You Cards
So, you’ve graduated. You’ve had your open-house party. Now what? Undoubtedly, you have been given a variety of gifts, including checks and cash and cards, from family members and friends who helped you celebrate your graduation. So now is the time to thank them for their kindness and their support.
How do I go about it? you might ask. There’s no one way, but here are a few suggestions for thanking everyone who has been there for you during your graduation.
Step 1: Thank people in person, if possible, especially those who make it to your open house. Then, send a graduation thank you card at a later date to show your full appreciation.
Step 2: Make a list of everyone you invited to your graduation and open house. Most likely this will mirror, or at least be close to, your list for graduation thank you cards.
Step 3: Choose a thank you card design that fits both you and your budget. Graduation thank you cards come in many different styles, from those featuring school colors to more trendy colors to those that even feature your photo. Also consider choosing graduation thank you cards that match your graduation invitations.
Step 4: Re-check your list to make sure you have included everyone who has given you a gift or attended your grad party. It is a good idea to have someone write down exactly what each person gave you while you open the cards and gifts. This way you don’t have to rely on your memory. Don’t forget about other important people in your life, coaches, teachers, etc.
Step 5: Within each graduation thank you card, write a personal note for the recipient. Even something simple will suffice, but any personal touch shows that you care and appreciate the gift-givers kindness.
Step 6: When sealing the graduation thank you cards, re-check to make sure you have enclosed the right card in the envelope with the corresponding address. You wouldn’t want to send the card to the wrong person!
