Western Illinois University Graduation Announcements Etiquette

As an undergrad, most students don't know about the formalities that should be followed when sending their Western Illinois University graduation announcements. They may not even know the difference between Western Illinois University graduation invitations and announcements, or when to send them. Basically, Western Illinois University graduation announcements simply declare the event and the sender might also choose to include an invitation to a grad party in the same envelope. Western Illinois University graduation invitations, on the other hand, actually invite the recipient to attend the ceremony and they may include a ticket to the event. Since the school limits the number of attendees, not everyone can attend the ceremony, but it's polite to send announcements to all friends and family so they are included.

Knowing when to send the Western Illinois University graduation invitations is an important issue. They should be sent two to three weeks before the graduation date to allow time for friends and family members to make plans to attend. Sending Western Illinois University graduation announcements early will also give people plenty of time to call and congratulate the graduate or send a card. Western Illinois University graduation announcements are not, however, requests for gifts so students should not expect gifts from the people they send announcements to. In some cases, family members will provide gifts or throw a party, which calls for a thank you note. It's also nice for very close family members, such as parents, to receive a Western Illinois University keepsake announcement holder, so they can keep the announcement or invitation and treasure the accomplishment of their loved one forever.
