Of (your) graduation/purchase

I have made up the similar examples below.

(1a) You will get a job within three months of graduation.

(1b) You will get a job within three months of your graduation.

(2a) You can receive some coupons in your mail within two weeks from the date of purchase.

(2b) You can receive some coupons in your mail within two weeks from the date of your purchase.

Is OK to include "your" in these examples? Thank you very much.
