WORDING, TIMING AND TIPS

Before you send it.

Graduation season packs a lot of parties into a few weekends, so a clear, early invitation makes a difference. If your graduate’s friends are having parties too, consider an open house with a long time window so guests can stop by between celebrations.

A photo of the graduate is a lovely touch. Share the link with family, teachers and friends, and use the replies to plan food for an open house where people come and go.

What to include

  • Graduate’s name, school and class year
  • Date and time, or an open-house window
  • Address and parking notes
  • A photo of the graduate
  • Whether it’s a party, an open house or a ceremony
  • An RSVP date

When to send it

Send graduation party invitations three to four weeks ahead. In May and June, earlier is better, because weekends book up fast and families juggle several parties on the same day.

Questions, answered.

What’s the difference between a graduation announcement and an invitation?

An announcement shares the news, often with people who won’t attend. An invitation asks guests to a party or ceremony and needs an RSVP.

How long should a graduation open house be?

Three to four hours is typical. That lets guests stop by between other parties and keeps the food and setup manageable.

Can I add a photo of the graduate?

Yes. Choose one of our photo designs and upload your favorite picture while you personalize it.
