Obviously you could just print the invitations and complete them by hand, however, you could also choose to partially (everything but the name of the person being invited) or completely personalize them using the instructions below:

How to Personalize Your Free Printable Graduation Invitation

1. Create a text box that completely covers all the wording you want to replace. NB. If you need to use precision when placing your text box then press CTRL & the Up and Down keys.
2. Enter your own customized wording in the text box.
3. Please note - you can type the names of those you are inviting on each invite and print them separately (or even do a mail merge if your a computer whiz) but if you choose to handwrite those you are inviting on your invitations then I'd recommend a calligraphy set - www.joann.com a lovely "Zig Calligraphy" set.

How to Print your Printable Graduation Invitations

1. Open a word document.
2. Set the printer to the desired paper size.
3. Insert the image.
4. Adjust the margins to zero.
5. Adjust the image to cover the full size of the paper. Do this by clicking on the image and dragging one of the corner arrows.
6. To ensure everything looks just right go to File, Print Preview.
7. Print a "cut to size" test sheet to be certain that the font, font size and placement of your message will be as you desire. Make any necessary adjustments, then print your invitations.

Tip - Mark an X on one side of the test sheet prior to printing. This will help you determine which way up to place the invitation in the printer.

Make Your Own Free Printable Graduation Invitation

This free printable graduation invitation took me about 5 minutes using “Microsoft Word” and “Paint” which you probably have on your own computer. Why not follow the instructions below and create a totally unique invitation that is more suited to the graduate. Perhaps you could use a color scheme with their favorite colors or maybe you'd like to stick with the school colors. You could also consider the graduates favorite hobbies, pastimes and passions.

Also consider traditional symbols such as caps and scrolls.

The other secret ingredient is clipart - you’ll find a great selection of clipart, along with exact instructions on how to use it.

Make Your Own - Simplest Version

1. Open a new doc in your word processing tool and set up the page size - choose File and Page setup.
2. Now right-click your mouse over the clipart you’d like to use and select “copy”. Now place your curser on the area where you want the clipart to go and right-click and select “paste” to add the clipart to your doc.
3. Lastly, add some text and use some word art as well to personalise it.

Free Printable Graduation Invitation Paper

Choosing the right paper is one of the important decisions to be made.

My graduation paper covers the simplest low cost options right up to exquisite handmade paper.

You can easily buy printer paper at your local store. However there are so many options with colored paper, heavier paper, blank invitation paper, cardstock, scrapbook, text, cover, and so many other kinds of paper.

I like to use cardstock or blank invitation paper for printable graduation invitations.

The right graduation paper can add a beautiful simple touch, an elegant invitation, creative colourful invitations and exquisite invitations. The same paper can be used for thanks you notes, place cards and announcements.
