  2. Download the template using the download icon in the top right corner of the screen. Rename the document so it's easier to find.
  3. Use every editable space as an opportunity to adjust the graduation announcement wording and include personal information and show some personality.
  4. Choose a high quality paper to print on or have them printed as a copy store for even more paper options.
