I like the example ellenmope linked to. I also like the custom of adding ribbon(s) in the school colors in the upper right corner.

H and I both have our diplomas framed and in a box a closet. It doesn’t bother me in the least. If nothing else, it saves them from accidentally ending up in the recycling bin. When the time comes, I’ll probably frame the kids’ college diplomas for the same reason. If they choose to display them, that’s just a bonus.

Off topic…in my home we have a wall display of family wedding inviations. All matted and framed nicely so they coordinate well on display. There are 9 invitations (or wedding announcements) with mine and H’s in the center of the display. We are surrounded by our parents, grandparents, and other relatives’ invitations going back (in one case) 5 generations. It’s a very pretty and meaningful display.

Maybe one day my great grandson will discover an old box of family diplomas in the attic and decide that they would all be a beautiful, historic, and meaningful wall display for his home. You never know.
