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...
Perhaps "Earning Your Doctoral Degree"? Does she have a focus/specialty? Maybe include that, for example:
"Doctorate of Biology" or whatever. HTH!

Would you consider...
congratulations
on your doctoral degree
NAME, Ph D
August 2010
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!
