Graduation Wishes

A graduation wish goes to the graduate on the morning of the convocation, on the card at the family lunch, and under the photo in the gown with the parents on either side. Parents and relatives write pride; friends write jokes and then pride. Mention the degree or the years; it was hard work, and the wish should say so.

Questions people ask

What do you write in a graduation card?

Name the work: the years, the subject, the thing they struggled with and finished. Then say you are proud, and add one hope for what comes next. Friends can lead with a joke about the gown or the canteen; parents can simply say how it felt to watch.

Do you congratulate the parents on a graduation?

Yes, especially in India, where the degree is a family achievement. A line to the parents in the family group, or a sentence on the card to the graduate acknowledging them, is appreciated. If the graduate is the first in the family, say so; it is the proudest fact of the day.
