Graduation Parade Sign

May 10, 2020 8:43 AM

I need a sign to hold at my grandson's graduation parade.

My grandson is graduating from high school. Instead of the traditional gathering, they are talking about doing a parade down main street. I would like to make a sign to hold up as my grandson passes in the parade that meets one or more of the following criteria -
- expresses pride in the graduate
- hilarious
- maybe slightly embarrassing to the graduate

Being his grandmother, I am open to signs about how old I am; things like, "Thank you for graduating before I am dead." It could also mention the pandemic, though that is not essential. It can't be a huge banner. It must be able to hold it by myself. Ideas please.

Grandma is so proud of her little [INSERT BABY NICKNAME] and maybe an embarrassing picture of your grandson

I would blow up a nakeder-the-better (within reason) baby picture of him and add a mortarboard to his head. Then you can just write "Congratulations ______, I am so proud of you!!!" and get all your pride, silly, and embarrassing in at one go.

Maybe a goofy pic or two of him, and sign says "Congratulatory TikTok dance @hisnamesgrandma"
(Of course you would then need to make the tiktok)
