Graduation Card Messages

Graduation is a momentous occasion that deserves a congratulatory message that fits the occasion.   Graduation
messages can be difficult to write, especially knowing what to write after the "congratulations" part.  It's likely that
the graduate will go through his or her cards very quickly, only to throw away the majority of the cards
immediately after taking the money out of the card.  This may put your mind at ease some.

Use the examples of graduation card messages below to help you figure out exactly what to write in a graduation
card.  Change the graduation message examples to fit you and your graduate, and have fun with it.  Graduation is a
fun time, so your message should be too.  But if you insist on writing a reflective graduation saying, you will find
those also.

Tips for Writing Graduation Card Messages
1. Stay positive.  Give the graduate a feeling of hope, even if the job outlook isn't so hot.  Don't rain on the parade.

2. Be Concise.  After opening the 30th consecutive graduation card, it will be likely that the over educated graduate
will be skimming the messages and nabbing the money and gift card.  Make a point quickly, unless you have
something extremely clever to write.

3. Be Original.  This is a general rule of thumb for any greeting card messages.  Unfortunately, you are reading this
because you are unable to be original.  Never mind, just copy something from the internet.

4. Be Careful with the Jokes.  For example, if you are going to make some joke about how much money it costs to
go through school, it's a good idea to put a few bucks in the card.  This will make the joke a lot more fun.
