Graduation eCard

Name what they studied and acknowledge what it took to finish. Referencing a specific difficulty, the year they nearly changed course, the dissertation, working alongside studying, proves you were watching, which is the whole point of the card.

Keep advice about the future brief. Graduates are receiving a great deal of it.

Celebrate the degree and leave the job out of it. Graduates without a role lined up are usually being asked about it constantly, and a card that does not add to the pressure is a relief.

Focus entirely on what they have completed, and express confidence in them without setting a timetable.

There is no fixed amount, and a card does not require one. If you would like to send money, do it separately by whatever transfer method you would normally use and let the card carry the words.

A graduation card that says something specific is remembered long after the amount is forgotten.

Write to who they have become rather than what they have achieved. School graduations mark a change in life more than an academic result.

Noting how they have grown, what they are like now compared with a few years ago, and what you are confident they will carry forward tends to mean more than praise for the grades.

Send it in the few days before the ceremony or on the day itself. Arriving just before means it lands while the achievement is still the centre of their world; the weeks afterwards get busy with everything that comes next.

You can schedule it at checkout for the morning of the ceremony.

Yes. Sign it from all of you at the sign-off step and share the single link. A family card carries more weight than several similar ones.

You can also record a short voice message with several people on it, which is usually the part a graduate replays.
