From First Day to Graduation Day
Photo by: Lore de Cosio Photography
As I sit here, reflecting on the years that have flown by while being a mom, I can't help but think about all the times I thought I had plenty of time, only to realize that time slipped away so quickly. I often read about how children's focus shifts as they grow older. Around age 7, they start seeking more independence and playing with friends, and by the time they're 12, their friends often become their top priority.
Even though we understand the importance of spending quality time with our kids, it's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget to cherish these moments. As moms, we're constantly on the move, multitasking and juggling responsibilities. However, the busyness, every moment we share with our children is a treasure. While we may feel like we've missed opportunities along the way, looking back, we realize just how many precious moments we've had together.
Anyway, I can't stop thinking about how quickly school years zoom by. One minute, you're waving them off on their first day, and the next, they're strutting up to grab that diploma. Boom, they're graduates! I'm not far from that day even though it seems like it. It is like a roller coaster ride, fast and full of emotions!
As parents, the worrying never stops, right? But seeing them graduate feels like we've completed the parenting game - from mentors to cheerleaders, we've been there through it all. Graduation day marks a special moment of our lives as parents, and of course, we want to share this moment with everyone that was next to us in each of the steps, from grandparents, uncles, friends, coaches, and every single person that was there next to us in the bad moments and to celebrate all the success. Now they're ready to rock their own life. But hey, we're always on standby, just a call away whenever they need us, am I right?
As a photographer, I always think about all the little details parents have to manage once this important day arrives. It's an emotionally charged time, and yet we have to step up and handle the planning. From choosing the venue for graduation day to picking out a special present, keeping an eye on the weather, coordinating outfits for the entire family, booking the perfect photographer, and sending invites to every special person to be our guests - it's a whirlwind of preparation. But no matter the chaos, there's a sense of excitement and anticipation, knowing that all these efforts will end in a day filled with joy and celebration.
With all this in mind let me give you an idea on how you can plan your invites to share this special moment with all your family and friends. Basic Invite stands out for several reasons. They offer unlimited color options with instant online previews, with a selection of over 180 colors. They allow customers to see the printed invitation before placing their final order. Each invitation order comes with free white peel-and-stick envelopes. Customers can share a personalized link via social media or other platforms to collect addresses from friends and family securely stored in their account for easy selection during the design process. Finally they offers foil options in gold, silver, and rose gold, with the choice of flat or raised foil on all foil designs.
So let's mark something off our long list of things to do before graduation and start focusing more on enjoying the last days of what seemed like a long journey of school years. It's time to cherish these moments with our loved ones as we share our graduation invitations, marking the culmination of this significant chapter in our lives.
