Graduation Party Invitations Planning

Check out the party planning page for some guidelines on when to order/make and send your invitations. There are also some great tips on how to compile your guest list.

Generally you should send out invitations one month before the graduation party. Your graduation party may be in competition with other parties so best get the graduation invitations out in a timely way.

The areas to consider will be:

• Budget - set your budget for invitations.


• Party Theme - determining the design of the graduation invitations


• Time - consider if you have the time to make invitations or should buy them


• Guest list


• Quality of invitations you would like

Once you know, in particular, your budget and time, you can get on and make or buy the graduation party invitations.

Stepping through the process the next part is to choose the paper.

Graduation Party Invitations Paper

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

My graduation paper page 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.

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.
