Your child has had their name called. They have gotten up from their seat and walked to the stage. They have been handed their diploma. Their class has been officially announced as having graduated. Your kid has thrown their cap in the air. Now, they arrive home, where an elegant graduation banner flows gently in a soft breeze. That’s the perfect way to kick off a post-graduation party.
Graduation Banner:
What a wonderful, albeit hypothetical memory you’ll hopefully have in the future. Graduation is a seriously big deal. Not only do students who complete a stretch of schooling feel great about it, parents can bask in the glow as well. The moms and dads were there along the path, helping their kids figure out how to multiply, memorize the periodic table of elements, or proofread a thesis. Part of the success most definitely comes from parents. But, mostly, it was the children. Heading to school fearing a pop quiz or trying to understand why a certain teacher was so strict. And they persevered through it all. What better way to proudly put on a display of pride for them than with a custom graduation banner?
Our custom graduation banners are made from heavy duty vinyl. So strong is this material that you couldn’t possibly punch through one. We will customize your banners with any words, pictures, and logos you want.
We offer two types of finishes on our graduation banners: 1) gloss and 2) matte. Important features regarding the two. Gloss has a little higher-end look to the finish. Think of the cover of a magazine, and that little extra shine it has compared to the look of a hard cover book. Matte does not encapsulate that shiny look, but—if you plan on taking a picture or video with your custom graduation banner, matte is the way to go. A gloss finish will cause a glare, and the photo or video will not be wholly viewable.
More on the makeup and materials of our personalized banners later in the article. For now, let’s turn our attention to graduation announcement banners.
Graduation Announcement Banners:
Should you, who work at the school, be looking to purchase graduation announcement banners for the upcoming grads at your elementary school, high school, or university, it’s very simple. We offer a variety of sized banners, and provide hems and grommets free of charge. What a wonderful way for the soon-to-be moving on students to see a personalized message just for them. If the students are young, and require a ride to school, they can beam with pride when different loved ones see the personalized banner on a fence at your school.
For those parents or grandparents who are unfamiliar with the term “graduation announcement banners,” it is something regularly done by the school. So, this announcement is just a nice way to deliver a signal via a banner for those kids nearing graduation. It does not signal any kind of invitation to a party you may or may not be giving. The banner message is generally a simple one. Usually just a congratulations to the students with their name each personalized on one, the graduation year, and maybe the school name. Don’t worry. You’re not now forced into throwing a shindig for your grad.
How to Display Your Graduation Banner:
We touched on the heavy-duty strength of the vinyl banner we use. That phrasing might have you thinking it’s too heavy to carry or hang. The way to best calculate the weight of your banner is that is weighs 2oz per square foot. Example equation for you in mulling size of banner vs how difficult it might be to hang:
10’ W x 5’ H x 2 (oz) / 16 (oz in a lb) = 6.25 lbs
How’s that for going back to school? The point is, that’s pretty typical of the largest banner a parent would order for the celebration at home. Not real difficult to manage at all. And as mentioned earlier, we supply grommets for free. See more on them in the 3rd paragraph of this article. They are used to prevent tearing or abrasion of the vinyl from the rope or other material you might use to hang the banner.
Happy Graduation Banner:
Graduation banners can spawn a deserved party, yes. But, they are also an excellent way for parents to encourage their children. Tell them to remember this moment, to enjoy it, to savor it. Praise them and heap verbal rewards on them. Say to them, “Enjoy your grad party. I’ll just sit here and wipe off your graduation cap and preserve it so we can relive today in years to come.”
Now it’s time to drop the internal mindset hammer. Wait, how could we go from something so innocent, sweet, and endearing at the start to where we are now? Because we understand parents. Many of us who work here are. We’ve been the children. We know what’s in their minds. It’s time to set a longer-term plan in motion. It’s not deceitful or devious. It’s not devised out of duplicity. It’s simply an avenue you can take to keep your children motivated by celebrating what they have accomplished—graduation party banners applaud their exceptional achievements. They’re a way to remind them of that, while at the same time, reminding them there is more to come, if they haven’t yet finished college.
Graduation party banners are an absolutely ideal way to remember fond memories. All the studying, all the test-taking, and all that goes into buckling down to cross the finish line. For every parent, each graduation that their child celebrates marks a special steppingstone in their academic world. So now…it’s time to party and relive success that makes you so proud and them to comprehend what they have achieved.
