Remember Extended Family
Graduation can be expensive
Graduation commitments run long and deep. From application to walking across the stage, to moving to a new city, there are great adventures ahead... many of which will cost money. When you send Graduation Announcements to friends and family, they understand this, and many will send gifts to help you with the great transition ahead.
A once-in-a-lifetime achievement
You need to celebrate and commemorate your graduation. This was the result of a lifetime of effort.
