A must-do for any graduate is to immediately send out a thank you card to anyone who bought a gift, attended the ceremony, or was a guest at a graduation party. It's easy to do so thanks to the selection of beautiful free and printable customized thank you cards designed especially for a graduate. Many can be personalized with a photo. If you're stumped on what to write in a thank you card, consider these guidelines:
- Simplify: Say thank you for the gift, for attending the event, or for their support.
- Specifics: Be specific about the gift you're thanking them for, and tell them how you plan to use it.
- Personalize: Add something personal so the card doesn't feel generic, such as how much it meant to you that they were there, or how sorry you were that they couldn't attend the event.
If you need an envelope for your printed creation, you can make it yourself with an envelope template and finish it off using an address label template.
