Free Printable Graduation Invitations

Home >> Free Printable Graduation Invitations

The free printable graduation invitations available below are not only free but they are also extremely easy to create. The free printable graduation invitations are for all grades, kindergarten, high school and college. They are also in great designs.

If you click on any of the links below you’ll find an enlarged image and full printing and personalization instructions.

What's more, if you scroll to the bottom I'll also tell you how I made them so that you too can make your very own unique printable graduation invitations.

Each of the designs above 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. Then you could also consider the graduates favorite hobbies, pastimes and passions. Also consider traditional symbols such as caps and scrolls. You may have a great theme party in mind. That could be Luau, Pirates, Circus, Mardis Gras, Wild West, Hollywood, Casino, Fifties, Superhero, Under The Sea, Backward and Golf. Each of our theme pages has free printable invitations ready to use. Click here for the main theme page, then click through to the theme you want.

The other secret ingredient is clipart - you’ll find a great selection on my clipart page and even more on the Microsoft clipart website.

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 cursor 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 jazz it up at bit.

Make Your Own - Washed-out background

1. Follow steps 1 and 2 above. Click on the clipart so that some tiny squares appear. Place your cursor over the squares until a double headed arrow appears. Left-click the mouse and drag to stretch the clipart over the entire page.
2. Right-click over the clipart and choose ”format picture”. Select the “picture” tab and choose the “washout” option for “color”. Now select the “Layout” tab and choose the “behind text” option - this will let you add text over the top of the background clipart.
3. You are now ready to add whatever wording you choose.

Make Your Own - Using Frames

1. Search on “frames” on the Microsoft site. This search will return a massive amount of great looking frames for you to choose from for your invitations.
2. Next copy and paste the frame you desire onto a blank page on your word processing tool. Click on the picture and then place your mouse over the bottom left hand corner (right click your mouse) and drag and stretch your frame until it is the desired size.
3. Now click outside your frame and select the text box. Now draw the text box inside your frame. You can now right click your mouse inside this frame and choose to insert some wording. You could also choose to search for some "graduation" clip art and also insert it within a text box within the frame.

Free Printable Graduation Invitations 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 thank you notes, place cards and announcements.

Also you'll find a great selection of graduation verses or free printable graduation invitations wording for Commencement Exercises, Graduation Parties, Open House celebrations and even wordings for thank you letters.

Really everything needed, parents at commencement, graduation party, open house, humorous, poems, announcements, home school, thank you, response cards.

For example:

Hip, hip hooray for the Graduate today!
You are invited to a Graduation Party
in honor of

(Parent's Names)

Now I think that completes the picture (excuse the pun) for printable graduation invitations.

Other Things To Make

Using the techniques described above you could obviously make much more than free printable graduation invitations. That can be announcements, graduation cards, thank you cards, even paper napkin rings etc. The great thing is that they could all have the same theme with just different wording applied.
