I'm overthinking this...

My sister just finished her doctorate, and my brother and I are getting her this:

I have four lines at the bottom to engrave a personal message, and I was going to do :

Congratulations

[NAME], Ph.D.

On Your Doctoral Degree

August 2010

My question is: should it be "On" Your Doctoral Degree?  "For" Your Doctoral Degree?  (Or does someone have a more eloquant suggestion?) 

Re: I'm overthinking this...

  • I guess I'd say on earning your doctoral degree. 
  • or on the achievement of your doctorate?  (or doctoral degree)?  lol, now I'm overthinking it too!
  • What sucks is "achievement of your doctorate" won't fit on the line.  *eyeroll* I wish it were that easy! :)
  • Hmm, then I guess I'd stick with "on your Doctoral Degree"
  • Perhaps "Earning Your Doctoral Degree"? Does she have a focus/specialty? Maybe include that, for example:

    "Doctorate of Biology" or whatever. HTH!

    congratulations
    on your doctoral degree

    NAME, Ph D

    I like "on your doctoral degree" but I think the name in the middle makes it sound weird.  This way, it's a full sentence.

  • Thanks for your thoughts, ladies. 

    I did the name on the second line, as if saying this sentence: Congratulations, NAME, on your doctoral degree. I figured I didn't need commas if it was on separate lines.  

    I appreciate the suggestions!
