Your Service Academy Appointment & Send-Off deserves its own entrance.

A Service Academy Appointment & Send-Off invitation celebrates an individual milestone without speaking on behalf of an academy or military branch. Name the appointee and destination only as the family chooses, use appointment terminology accurately, and avoid official seals, mottos, uniforms or claims that imply the card is an institutional notice.

List the date, time, venue, hosts, RSVP deadline and whether the gathering is an open house, meal, presentation or brief farewell. For a Service Academy Appointment & Send-Off, add travel timing, gift preferences, attire, accessibility, parking and any request for notes, photographs or advice for the appointee.

The supplied artwork includes a blank appointment document, packed duffel, plain cap without insignia, compass, notebook and unnamed stone entrance. These motifs convey departure and service without identifying an academy. Keep the appointee’s name and family message central, and include official academy imagery only if permission and approved files are supplied.
