How to Copy the Free Graduation Party Invitation Template to MS Word

1) Right-click your mouse over the top of the invitation template that you want and select “copy”.
2) Open up a new Microsoft Word document.
3) Set the invitation template document size to whatever you want – each graduation party invitation template is ideally suited for A5 size but you could stretch or compress most of them to an alternate size.
4) Next right-click and select “paste” – the template should then appear.
5) If you want to stretch the image over the entire space then just left-click on the image and little dots will appear around the sides. When you place your mouse over them, arrows appear. At this point, if you left-click and move your mouse then you’ll see the image moves too.

How to Resize the Free Graduation Party Invitation Template and Insert Your Photo

The starting point is that you have copied and pasted a free graduation party invitation template into a new word document. Before you start make sure the image is not selected or it will disappear when you action step 1. So just click outside the image.

1) Now select “insert” from the top menu bar and choose “Text Box” – a simple text box will suffice.
2) Move your mouse to the side of the text box and the cursor will become 4 mini arrows facing in different directions.
3) Left-click and move your mouse and this will move your text box. Just navigate to position it over the top of the place where the photo should appear on the template.
4) To re-size the text box just move mouse over to the corners until double headed arrow appears and hold down the mouse and drag.
5) Now right-click over the photo you want to use and select “copy”.
6) Back to the word document now and click inside the text box and right-click and select “paste” – this will automatically resize and paste your photo inside the text box.

How to Add Personalised Wording to the Free Graduation Party Invitation Template

Once you have copied one of the free graduation templates to a blank MS word document and inserted your photo you can move on to the next part. Now it’s time to personalise the wording. This process is largely the same idea as how you added the photo. Again before starting make sure the image is not selected or it will disappear when you action step 1. So just click outside the image.

1) Now select “insert” from the top menu bar and choose “Text Box” – a simple text box will suffice.
2) Move your mouse to the side of the text box and the cursor will become 4 mini arrows facing in different directions.
3) Left-click and move your mouse and this will move your text box. Just navigate to position it over the top of the wording that is currently there. It’s much easier to just start from scratch than try to insert the individual details one line at a time.
4) So you just click inside the text box and start typing. To change the font, font size and color, just highlight the text and right-click and you’ll see all the options for changing.

If you want to change the background color of the text box then you will have to:

1) Left-click on the edge of the box, then right-click and an option ”format text box” should appear.
2) The fill color is the background color and the line color is the outline of the text box.
NB. Even if you don’t want to change the background color of the text box then it’s nice to change the line color to white so that there is no visible text box frame.

Paper and Printing for the Free Graduation Invitations

Good quality flat A5 card will be perfect for the graduation party invitation template, or of course a different dimension if you have resized the graduation party invitation template. If your image is ink intensive though then it may be best to save it onto a CD and take it along to your local printers.
You may addd a glossy finish which is nice but you cannot write guests' names on that. So the best bet is to leave your envelope to cover who exactly is invited and the actual invite just has the general party details.
