Graduation Wishes
30+ Graduation Wishes for Your Brother
A brother finishing a degree is one of those moments that gets a joke before it gets a sentence — fair enough, but the sentence is worth including too, even briefly.
These lines give you both. Proud ones for the part that matters, and funny ones for the fact that he now owes the world several years of unpaid loans and questionable life choices.

Frequently asked questions
What should I write for my brother's graduation?
Reference the difficulty, not just the result — a line about what it took to get here says more than congratulating the outcome alone.
What should I avoid saying to a new graduate?
Avoid "now the real world begins" and "what is next?" as the whole message. Many graduates are anxious about exactly that, and a congratulation that doubles as a question adds to it.
Are these graduation wishes free to use?
Yes. Every line here is original to Saylines and free to copy into a card, message or post with no credit required.
