Funny Graduation Cards: Because Sentimentality is So Last Season
Graduation is a time for celebration. A time for mortarboards, badly fitting gowns, and the slow realisation that three years of ramen noodles now earns you the honour of updating your LinkedIn profile. So, when it comes to congratulating someone on their academic triumph, why send a boring card with a scroll and a sunset, when you could send one that says:
“Congratulations, you’re now a clever dickhead – rather than just a dickhead.”
Exactly. Much better.
Why Funny Graduation Cards Are the Best Kind of Graduation Cards
Let’s face it: graduation speeches are emotional enough without you sobbing over a card that says “reach for the stars.” What you really want is a card that captures the true essence of modern-day academia, like:
- “World’s Most Expensive Hat” – because that floppy square isn’t just an accessory, it’s a £50k head ornament.
- “Congratulations on Your New Hat” – practical, fashion-forward, and likely never to be worn again.
- “Welcome to the Real World (Where Your Dreams Come to Die)” – inspiring, no?
For the Ones Who Are Now Technically ‘Doctor’ (And Won’t Shut Up About It)
We all know someone who adds “Dr” to their Deliveroo order. Treat them to a card that fully validates their ego:
- “It’s Dr, Actually”
- “Miss? Mrs? Mr? Dr? DOCTOR.”
- “Fully Koala-fied Doctor” – adorably smug.
Specialist Cards for Specialist Graduates
Not all graduates are created equal. Some are nurses. Some are lawyers. And some are just people who’ve watched Hamilton one too many times. We’ve got cards for all of them:
- “Fully Koala-fied Nurse” – because puns heal all wounds.
- “Yippee! You’ve Passed Your SQE” – now they can legally charge £350/hr to reply to an email.
- “You Graduated! Awesome. Wow.” – for the grad who’s not throwing away their shot (but probably should throw away that cravat).
Cards for the Nerds. (We Love You Really.)
Some graduates didn’t just pass, they aced it. Let’s reward them with cards that say, “Yes, you’re better than the rest of us, and yes, we resent you.”
- “Clever Sausage” – intelligent and delicious.
- “Queen of the Nerds” – your crown awaits, Your Majesty.
- “Good News: You’re Not a Complete F*ckwit” – a surprise to everyone, frankly.
Make Them Laugh Before Capitalism Does

But before reality kicks them in the shin, give them something to laugh about. Our funny graduation cards are designed to bring joy, sarcasm, and just a dash of existential dread – all wrapped up in beautifully printed A6 glory.
Shop now, and send a card that says what everyone’s thinking but no one else dares to write.
