When it comes to invitations, you can choose to go the paper route (pun intended) or opt for digital options. Online invitations<\/a>\u00a0offer convenience and an eco-friendly alternative to paper invites. With paper invitations, you\u2019ll have to put each one in an envelope, incur postage costs, and keep track of RSVP responses manually.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, you could choose online invitations like those from Greenvelope<\/a>, which don\u2019t waste paper and save you time. The online dashboard makes it easy to customize your graduation invitations by adding music, Google Maps links to the event location, and your choice of colors, fonts, and designs.

Once you\u2019ve chosen your invite, you\u2019ll want to put some thought into the wording. Invitations are more than just plopping down a date and time on a card \u2014 just like high school and college are more than just acing exams.<\/p>\n

When creating your graduation announcement<\/a>\u00a0or invitation, consider tone and etiquette<\/a>. In general, graduation announcements are brief, specific in terms of the accomplishment, and can be formal or casual.<\/p>\n

If the event is a formal celebration of a student receiving a doctorate, you\u2019ll want the language on the graduation party invitation to reflect that. These events tend to be ceremonial, so use language such as \u201cannouncing the graduation of\u201d or \u201chonoring the graduation of.\u201d If you\u2019re writing a formal invite, avoid using contractions and include full names when addressing the graduate and the attendees.<\/p>\n

For more casual events like a backyard BBQ<\/a>, use language such as \u201cJane is graduating!\u201d or \u201cWe\u2019re having a party for the new grad, Jane.\u201d Feel free to have a conversational tone and include puns while celebrating the new grad\u2019s accomplishment.<\/p>\n
