What are Custom Graduation Announcements?
A Custom Graduation Announcement is a formal and socially correct way to share the once-in-a-lifetime event of graduating from high school with family and friends. It is also a memento representing the goals you've reached and remembering those who've helped you along the way. Each Custom Graduation Announcement has the fine craftmanship of your custom school crest, year of graduation and custom text. Additionally, you will personalize each announcement with your Personal Graduate Namecards. Custom Graduation Announcements become even more special when you consider most people send formal announcements only three times in their lives: high school graduation, college graduation and their wedding day. Your Custom Graduation Announcement represents your school, your class and you. Keep in mind that Custom Graduation Announcements are not intended to be invitations as many schools require tickets for addmission to the ceremony. Each Custom Graduation Announcement is designed by your class officers and the wording chosen by your school.

Who should I send announcements to?
Anyone you want to share your good news with! Family, friends, mom & dad's co-workers. This is a big deal!

Why do I get 50 namecards?
Namecards only come in boxes of 50 because that is the smallest number our printing press can run. There are many things your can do with left over namecards though: use them as business cards, trade them with your friends for memory albums, use them in scrapbooks; the possibilities are endless!

Why are there 2 envelopes with each announcement?
With traditional announcements the proper ettiquette is to have an inner and outer envelope. The inner (smaller) envelope should have the announcement stuffed inside and the recipient's informal name written on the outside. For example: Aunt Mary. The outer (bigger) envelope should be addressed with the formal name (i.e. Mary Smith) and stamped. The inner envelope then gets stuffed inside the outer envelope and the outer envelope is sealed and mailed.

Do my announcements have my name on them?
NO. Announcements do not include the student’s name. Namecards must be ordered to identify the graduate. Slots for the namecards are located inside most announcement styles. When ordering namecards IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO TYPE YOUR NAME CLEARLY using upper and lower case letters and please double check your spelling.

What if I don't pick up my products on delivery day?
All products will be held until graduation day. After that time we will send them back to our factories and NO refunds will be given. Herff Jones will not be responsible for products that were undeliverable.

An ASB card and/or Yearbook are included in my package but I already bought them through the school, what happens now?
You will be given a credit for the amount you have already paid the school. Please indicate that you are in this situation when placing your order either online or in person. When making a deposit on your order on-line, please do not pay in full if you have pre-purchased these items from the school, so we can adjust your balance.

What does my announcement look like and say? Do I get to choose fonts or colors?
Your announcement design is chosen by your school and all text is provided by your school. You can see a sample of what the front of the announcement will look like on the welcome screen after you have registered and logged in to this website. The fonts and colors used on namecards will always match the announcement and special requests cannot be accomodated.
