did you get the paper? I have looked at Office Depot and Walmart so far.

I need to order a diploma. Where did you order yours from?

Thanks!

We found cards for printing announcements at Staples. It took us a few hours to get it all set up, but overall I was impressed with how easy it was.

We bought our diploma through homeschooldiploma.com I thought they did a really nice job.

Best wishes planning for the big day!

Thanks!We printed our own announcements. Bought the card stock at an office supply store (not sure which one, but I think Staples).

We ordered our diplomas from www.homeschooldiploma.com

We printed our own announcements too and got our supplies from Hobby Lobby. We purchased a diploma through HSLDA.

We had a party and just bought invitations at Office Max. (For what it's worth, they had lots of prinatables that could have been used for announcements.)

We ordered the diploma--which is really lovely--along with a cap and tassel from www.homeschooldiploma.com (http://www.homeschooldiploma.com). They were prompt, and everything was just as we ordered it.

We printed my oldest's announcements on parchment cardstock--bought it at WalMart. My second chose to use fancy papers from Michaels--it was a package of scrapbooking papers, so they were all different. My oldest's diploma was done in calligraphy by an artist friend. My second had a dipoma printed off from Donna Young! She needed one for the NCAA and NARS hadn't bothered to send hers from them in time. It mattered to my oldest, didn't to my second. HER diploma was that Appointment to USNA and HER graduation was Induction Day--to her way of thinking... :D

I did the same thing. I followed the instructions and my announcements came out very well. I even used the "Wedding Invitation" cardstock. I didn't want anything fancy, and this was the most elegant looking. My ds liked it too. Since my dh is a retired USN officer then I wanted something that wasn't too contemporary since his name and rank were stated on the cards.
