University of Phoenix Graduation Etiquette
Graduation Etiquette
Graduation Announcements
Mail announcements to family and friends two weeks before to two weeks after graduation. You may write "No
gifts, please" at the bottom if you wish.
Announcement (tissue) Inserts
If your order contains tissue inserts, place this translucent paper on the inside of your announcement.
Envelopes
The outer envelope, with the gummed flap, is the mailing envelope. Hand address it legibly, using black or blue ink.
Abbreviations in the mailing address should be avoided:
Mr. Logan Harman
383 North Street
Louisville, Kentucky 50201
Mr. and Mrs. Dylan McDonald
39 West 18th Street
Albany, New Jersey 11202
The inner envelope should bear the name of the addressee(s)
and children. This may be expressed informally as:
Aunt May and Uncle Bill
Michael & Ellie Jackson
Molly and Jason
Kelly Hanson
Grandmother
Ashley
Place the announcement in the inner envelope with the folded edge inserted first and the front of the announcement facing the flap. Place the inside envelope facing toward the back of the outside envelope when inserting. Seal securely by moistening the gummed flap. Then, apply a foil envelope seal, if included with your order. Send via first class mail.
Thank You Notes
A short hand-written note of thanks should go to everyone who sends a gift. Acknowledge the gift as promptly as possible after
its receipt.
