<p>When I finally make a decision on which college I want to share it creatively. please give me ideas...</p>
<p>wrap it up as a present for your parents!</p>
<p>If the college issues an e-mail address, use that address to let people know.</p>
<p>For your parents/siblings:
Order tshirts, hats bumper stickers, etc. As a proud parent of two college grads, I can say for sure we ALWAYS buy stuff to show our support for the college the kids chose.</p>
<p>Most college bookstore websites have lots of inexpensive items that have the name on them…</p>
<p>Agree with Curiouser. I took a gamble while I was visiting the city where my daughter had applied ED to her first choice… and bought a sweatshirt and tucked it away. The night she found out she was accepted I went upstairs and brought it down for her. It was such a nice moment. I hate to think how bittersweet it would have been if she didn’t make it, but I would never have told her about it.</p>
<p>Heehee…my D has already been wearing her dream school T-shirt since we visited! </p>
<p>For OP - to WHOM are you announcing? Friends/facebook? The school? Parents? Family/relatives. </p>
<p>I like the “Please contact me at my new e-mail address…blah blah college.edu”.
If it’s close…what about changing your facebook photo to you AT the college (obvious landmark, banner/sign). If not, maybe just facebook page wearing the aforementioned T-shirt.</p>
<p>Or, do you mean you’re actually sending out announcements? Like, to relatives along with your graduation announcement? Seems like you could do these similar things and include it. </p>
<p>If you just mean, in general, to friends…throw a party? Everything is college color themed. </p>
<p>Are you good at photshop? Could you take your acceptance letter and do something fun with that? Put your smiling face at the top? </p>
<p>Or, for your parents…some seemingly innocuous question that makes them go “hmmmm”? Like, you live in Hawaii but you ask them where they think is the best place to buy snow boots. A faked diploma left on the kitchen table (hardWorker, B.A. class of 2014 from this-or-that college). </p>
<p>Hmmm…none of these felt very creative. I’m so lame. MMmmmmm…write a poem! There once was a hard working boy…</p>
