With every spring comes warmer weather and new beginnings. For many, it’s a time when they will embark on a new stage of life–a new grade in school or starting their first job. Spring graduations can be the perfect time to stop and celebrate not only everything a person has accomplished so far but also all that is in store for them in the future. They call it a commencement because it’s the beginning of something, not the end. 

If you are celebrating a 2022 graduate this spring and you’re wondering what to write in a card, take a look at the 3 examples of graduation card messages.

What to write in a card:

preschool graduate

For the kiddo graduating from preschool, kindergarten, or elementary school:

Congratulations! I have loved watching you grow up to be such a creative, smart, and fun kid! I am so proud of you, and I can’t wait to see what you will become when you grow up. But don’t grow up too fast! Enjoy being a kid and enjoy today. I love you. 

P.S. Let’s go get ice cream to celebrate!

genZ graduate

For the Gen Z’er who is graduating High School:

You did it!! Wow, these last few years have been hard on this whole planet, but especially for your generation. With delayed or canceled classes, proms, and school trips, you really went through a lot in your high school career. Think of the stories you’ll be able to tell! I am so proud of you and how you handled the many (so many!) challenges of the last 2+ years, and I’m equally excited to see what you do from here on out. Congratulations! 

P.S. I think you’re snatched! (Did I use that word right? I googled it)

college graduate celebrating and throwing confetti

For the college graduate:

A big CONGRATS to you!! It seems like just yesterday I was watching you graduate from preschool, and now you’re graduating from college! It has been a true privilege to watch you grow up and now celebrate this next big milestone in your life. I could not be any prouder. Cheers!

P.S. Sorry America still hasn’t done anything about student loan debt
