My firstborn will be graduating high school in a little less than three months and two months after that he’ll be out the door and off to college. (Which in mom-time is even less than the blink of an eye.) He’s got so much to do in that short amount of time and has so many important decisions to make. He needs to decide which college he’ll choose, where he’s going to get a summer job, who he’s going to ask to prom.
Of course I have a lot of important decisions to make too. How many people should I invite to his graduation party? What is the proper amount of time to wait before turning his bedroom into my office? What is the best brand of waterproof mascara to wear to this graduation ceremony?
And I have to choose his graduation announcements. They’ve come a long way since I graduated high school. My graduation announcement was a generic “Class of 83” fold-over card that you stuck a smaller card with your name on it into a little slot. They were pretty boring.
Thanks to minted.com the generic graduation announcement is a thing of the past. So if you’re looking for a place to find a graduation card that is as unique as your high school senior click here.
Take a look at some of minted’s awesome selection below:
Whether your looking for an announcement or an invitation, if classic designs are your thing, you can’t go wrong with this card.

If you like something more modern showing off your son or daughter’s cute mug you might prefer a card like this.

If you’re a braggy type of parent you have a high achiever you might like a card that showcases your graduate’s many accomplishments with a card like this.

And if you really want to show your faraway family that your kid’s got the goods you can even order an announcement that’s a book!

One of the many things I love about minted.com is the fact that they give you different colors to choose from for most types of announcements or invitations. (Like in this whimsical one.)

Speaking of whimsical, I love this graduation party invitation. (So cute!)
And of course you can get matching thank you cards
and fancy envelopes.
So what will I be choosing for my graduate? Hmmm… I don’t know.
As the mother of an athlete, I have to admit I really love this card.
I especially like the way it looks when I plug Chandler in there.

Did I mention that you can preview your cards before buying them? See the little exclamation point on Chandler’s picture above? That’s an alert from minted telling me the picture will not print well due to its low resolution, so I’ll need to choose another photo. I feel confident that when I place an order with minted it will turn out perfectly.
I really like this announcement.
Of course I’ll have to get a better picture. (Something a bit crisper without a messy kitchen counter in the background.) And it would also probably help if we knew where Chandler was going to school. (Nope, sorry, Awesome U in Not California is not a real school!)
But I also really like this one.

It’s going to be tough to pick which one I like best. But the good news is, all the cards at minted.com are so great, it’s impossible to go wrong.
If you haven’t ordered your graduation announcements and invitations yet, I highly suggest you give minted.com a look. It takes about two weeks to get your order with standard shipping, so there’s still time. But you’d better hurry – you know that time will be gone in the blink of an eye!
Disclosure: I was given a credit by minted.com to facilitate this review, but the opinions of the awesomeness of Minted expressed are 100% my own. (But you don’t have to trust me – you have eyes don’t you?)

I love the options here, Charlene. Well, most of them.
If you send me that book announcement, we maybe can’t be friends.
(TOO MUCH! How can someone pay for those AND college?)
But to anyone else out there who does make a book for your kid’s graduation, go for it. There’s nothing wrong with you at all. Probably.
I am FOR SURE going to remember minted.com next year when Jack graduates.
It will feel like tomorrow, I know. So I better start hunting for a good picture of him now that doesn’t have my kitchen in the background.
‘Off to College’ one is cute. I’ll start saving now 😄
Oops saving all Ava’s photos that is!
Those are really cute and couldn’t have come at a better time for us! I think the one of Chandler running is way better than the stock. Be on the lookout for our announcement!
These are way more amazing than the ones we had when I was a kid. Wait, did we even have them then…?
