As graduation season arrives across Baton Rouge, families are preparing to celebrate one of life’s most meaningful achievements. Yet, the weeks surrounding the big day can be a whirlwind, from finalizing photos and mailing announcements to making party plans and ensuring everyone is ready for the ceremony.
That’s why the staff at The UPS Store at 9618 Jefferson Highway in Baton Rouge is ready to help families create high-quality printed materials to bring their celebrations to life without stress or hassle.
“Graduation season can be chaotic, but celebrating your senior’s big moment shouldn’t be an afterthought,” said Greg Bushong, general manager of The UPS Store. “Our team is ready to step in with a wide array of personalized products to make graduation truly special. You handle the memories – we’ll handle the printing.”
To get started on invitations and announcements, Bushong said a customer just needs to bring in their favorite photos of their senior – anything from the most recent professional pictures to candid moments captured at home through the years. Customers are also encouraged to give input on specific color schemes, themes and designs.
“We put all of that together during a personalized design consultation,” Bushong said. “We can go through different variations and styles to see what you like the best. We can even print samples for our in-house products to make sure the colors and paper are exactly what you envisioned before we run the full order. We can also print high-quality photo packages.”
Once a customer has the photos, announcements and invitations finalized, The UPS Store takes things one step further.
“Bring us your mailing list. We’ll print, stuff, stamp and mail them out for you,” Bushong said.
Beyond invitations and photos, The UPS Store also offers large-format printing of yard signs, posters and banners to elevate graduation celebrations and transform homes and venues into personalized spaces that honor each student. These items are available in both pre-determined and custom sizes and come with accessories to make them withstand whatever the day brings.
For example, The UPS Store offers banners with grommets, stands and pole pockets. Posters can be mounted, laminated and placed on a foam core for added stability.
“Our team is always ready to walk customers through the design process to make sure they are satisfied with the final product and that it reflects the graduate’s personality,” Bushong said. “These large-scale items have become increasingly popular as families look to create meaningful experiences for their graduates.”
With ceremonies set to begin in the coming weeks, Bushong said the goal of The UPS Store is to help ease stress for families with seamless processes that result in one-of-a-kind mementos that can be cherished for a lifetime.
“Printed materials like photos, yard signs and invitations are tangible items that mark a true life milestone. We’re ready to help families create the ones that reflect each graduate’s successes,” he said.
