Most high schools and colleges limit the number of visitors a student may invite to commencement because of lack of space. So invite the ones from a very close circle, especially those who would manage to come down to your school. Though it is important to send announcements to other close family and friends and share the good news of your achievement and be proud of you. You can include these individuals at other festivities that take place such as parties, luncheons, etc.
The original tradition is to send the announcements by post in neatly gummed envelopes. It is very important to know how to address the announcement. The outer envelope, with the gummed flap, is the mailing envelope. It is advisable to address the envelope announcing the graduation in your own handwriting. Use blue or black ink, as announcements are formal. For the same reason, do not use abbreviations, except in the title. The inner envelope, without the gummed flap, holds the announcement, graduation picture, etc. It should be address informally to Grandma; aunt Carla, etc. the announcement card is placed inside this envelope and this envelope is then placed in the mailing envelope with the flap facing the mailing address side.
Another important thing to keep in mind is when to send announcements? If the announcement is being sent as an invitation to the ceremony and/or a graduation party, they should be sent out at least 2 weeks prior to the event. But if it is just to announce the accomplishment of graduation, there is no hurry as it is still proper to send it up to 14 days after the ceremony.
If your graduation announcement is also an invitation to the ceremony or party, please take care to write the detail that is; the date, time and venue of the event in the enclosure of the envelope. You can be as creative as you can be with the invitation card inside the envelope.
