A Review of Graduation Congratulation Cards
With graduations coming up, it's time to look for some cards to wish the graduate well.
Saying congratulations is a message that tells someone you are happy for his/her success or good luck.
There are many ways to express this 'acknowledgment' of a job well done, to show our approval of their accomplishments, to wish them well at their success.
We extend our 'best wishes' to a couple on their wedding and an 'awww, so sweet' to parents of a new baby, and a 'well done' at graduations. We give a 'thumbs up' for a new job or a promotion and for success in any aspect of life. We shout 'Yes!' and 'Alright!' when our sports team scores a touchdown or hits a home run.
Words of congratulations express our praise and approval. It's a blessing, a flattering expression, a way to show we care even if it's shortened in today's tech world of Tweets and Texting as WTG (Way to Go). The message is the same no matter how we say it.

Graduations are not just for high school or college. We often celebrate with graduations starting with nursery school. And a few years ago I attended my grandson's kindergarten graduation complete with caps & gowns and a diploma! It happened in the same week that I attended my oldest grandson's high school graduation!
Let's look at a few greeting card suggestions for the many special graduation events in our lives.

*Graduation Cards Review written by (c) Wednesday Elf
Thanks for sharing these cute graduation cards. I would never have thought of looking on Etsy for cards. Now I know!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary Beth. Yes, Etsy has a wide variety of cards for all occasions. There are some very clever creators on the site, giving us more choices than the standard greeting card stores have to offer.
DeleteThese are all fabulous graduation cards! I have a few that I need to buy this year and usually just select one at the grocery store, but I love the idea of sending one that is unique. I also love Etsy, so this is an excellent suggestion for me.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it, Mouse. I love Etsy for its uniquely original creations by talented artisans.
DeleteI think it is so important to mark those special occasions and achievements and I love sending cards. These are lovely graduation cards. Thank you for these great suggestions !
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Jasmine. I love the originality of these graduation cards.
DeleteElf, these are all absolutely adorable! I've always loved sending and receiving greeting cards, whether "just because" or to mark important occasions. Graduations are significant achievement milestones that deserve to be celebrated, and your card suggestions are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret. I've always been a big card sender too and it's lovely to have some original designs by talented artists to choose from now & then for really special occasions, such as graduations.
DeleteWhat a wonderful way to mark those important dates in our lives. I have cards that I have kept over the years and once in a while look back fondly as the memories return. What a great way to find some really unique and sweet memory makers. I love this!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Olivia. I also have special cards that I have saved for various reasons over the years. I love your remark about the saved cards bringing memories back. So true... and so special to 'remember' all over again.
DeleteOne of my friend loves to receive cards for no reason and any reason - I swear if I sent her one of these she'd even appreciate that lol (she's in her 60's so long graduated). These card ideas are lovely. These days even receiving a card breaks the lockdown loneliness. Crazy times.
ReplyDeleteThese are unique cards that would be fun to send to graduates. Reading this makes me miss my days of managing a card department and getting to find special cards for us to sell. One of my greatest pleasures was discovering unique cards such as these that the other stores would not have in their Hallmark collections.
