Before we get started, here’s a little information about Graduation:

• In the 14th and 15th centuries, the cap and gown were worn to signify superiority and intelligence.
• The tossing of the cap was a symbol of the graduates moving onto the next chapter in their lives.
• About 4 million students are expected to graduate each year.
• Americans are anticipated to spend $4.7 billion on graduation parties and presents each year.

How to design your graduation banners:

Are you part of the school? Then consider a congratulations to the class of 2019 banner. Include information about the graduation ceremony so that friends and family can be informed. Place in front of the campus or school so no one can miss it! Are you making the banner for a graduating student? Personalize the banner with his or her name, degree, and graduation year. A photograph of the graduate is also a nice touch. Your grad will be surprisingly pleased, and it will be easy for your guests to find the party!

Are you a business wanting to support community schools? Mention all the local schools in your banner and maybe offer a special promotion to the graduating class. This will create some foot traffic for new customers to be introduced to your business. Either way, be sure to incorporate your school's colors and logo. Add a fun saying such as “Congrats Grad!” or “You did it!” in your school colors then add your school logo to tie the banner all together and show your school spirit!

Where to put your graduation banner:

Use a Vinyl Banner Yard Sign to let all your neighbors know how proud you are of your graduate! You can always reuse the frame later for other events, such as yard sales.
