Crank up the “Pomp and Circumstance” — graduation is upon us! The best part about a landmark occasion like this one is celebrating with your loved ones, and that starts with the invitation. No matter your degree (PhD, Bachelor’s, high school or even preschool) we’ve figured out the fitting words for your invitation, so the only thing you have to worry about is your grad crossing the stage.
Plan your party with ease using Evite’s digital invitations. Just fill in the following:
- The what: Tell your guests what they’re being invited to in the Event Title — for instance, the official graduation ceremony or the big after-party
- The who: Fill in the graduate’s name, parents’ names or a friend’s name
- The where: Provide the name and address of the school or venue
- The when: Note when the ceremony or party begins (and ends, if applicable)
Include all other details in the “Message from Host” box, from what degree you or the guest of honor will be graduating with to the deal on the dress code.
After you send out your free invitation, use our “What to Bring” list featured under the “Event Conversation” tab of your invitation to tell guests to bring ceremony necessities such as sunblock and signs, or other party provisions such as a potluck platter. Stress less when you opt for a Premium invite — these come pre-drafted with wording so all you have to do is fill in a few blanks, like the graduate’s name and the location address. Our ad-free Premium invitations come with complementary envelopes and can be purchased for $5 for up to 15 invitations, $12 for up to 50 or $20 for up to 125.
