Graduation Verses - Wording Check List
Find
out how you can create the right graduation invitation wording for your blank
graduation invitations by following a few simple rules. 1)
Date – Include the days of the week as well as the date i.e. Saturday
July 26 2005. 2) Time – Include start and end time. End time as especially
good idea for open house invitations i.e. 11a.m. – 6p.m. 3) RSVP
– You could also say "Please let us know if you can come by…." State a date to
call by and a phone number or an email or text reply would be suitable for an
informal invitation. Ask for a response at least 2 weeks prior to the party. This
will give you time to plan food etc. 4) Location – Give the full address
(including city). 5) Hosts – who is hosting the event and who is being
invited. Plus, if sharing the expenses with other parents then it's appropriate
to mention their names. 6) Names – be sure to use the name your child
likes to be known by. 7) Dress – if you are having an unusual party
then be sure to state the dress code. 8) Why – what is the reason
for the celebration.

Graduation Verses - Choosing The Right Font
Finding
the right size and style of font will help keep your graduation invitation wording
clear and easy to read. The style and font of the invitation lettering
should be reflected in all the lettering used for the graduation for instance,
on place cards, on reply cards, on announcement cards, and guest book, and more.
For a higher word count (over 10 lines) your font should be simple, while
a low word count has room to play with full bodied or fancy lettering.
One option is to choose one font for the graduation verses on the
invitation and then the names can be printed in a unique or fancy font.
The example below is a particular favorite where the majority of the text
is in Georgia font and the name is in Monotype Corsiva font:
You
are invited to celebrate (Graduate’s
Name) recent graduation from (School/College/University
Name) on (Date) at (Time) (Location) RSVP by (Date) to (Parent's Names)
on (Telephone number)

Graduation Verses - Adding The Verse
If
you are making your own graduation invitations and or announcements then there
are several options for adding the verses to your cards. Using
a Computer and Printer Easiest Option for adding graduation
verses: The graduation verses could be printed out onto A4 printer paper,
cut to size and then glued onto the back of the card if it is a flat invitation
or announcement or inside the card if it is a foldable style. All the details
could be printed leaving only the person(s) name blank to be completed with a
gold or silver pen. More Time Consuming Option for adding graduation
verses: Print all the graduation verses including the names of the people
being invited onto the A4 printer paper, cut to size and attach to your card.
This is my favorite option. It' doesn't take too much longer and the end result
is much more professional. Hardest Option for adding graduation verses: Some
card can be handled by printers so it may be worth giving it a try if you'd prefer
the graduation verses to be printed on the actual card. Personally I don't think
this option is worth the bother though. Hand
Written Graduation Verses
Some options are: - Silver
or gold marker pens
- Gel pens & metalic pens
- Felt tip pens
are good for writing verses as well as inking rubber stamps
- Ink pads
for coloring lettered rubber stamps (better for titles rather than whole verse).
Don't forget the Envelopes: - Personally I'd print
everything onto labels. Even if they are being hand delivered I'd still print
just the names on labels. It makes the whole process much easier to keep it the
same and the end result is far neater than hand written versions.
- If
the envelopes are white then use white labels but if they are colored then clear
labels are best. It would be good to use a small clipart image at the corner of
the label to add some decoration - you'll find loads to choose from on my graduation
clipart pages.
- It would also be a good idea to stick a return address
label to the back envelope flap. Keep this in a small and simple font and don't
use any clipart, center it and dont include your name. If you are not bothering
with a return address label then a nice touch is to seal the envelope with some
graduation seals.
Some "Other" Tips for Creating Great
Graduation Verses
Bare
Necessities:
Perhaps you want the colors, clipart, photos or decorations on your graduation
invitations to do the talking in which case some very simple wording will
do.
Something like:
Graduation
Party Invitation
You
are invited to the graduation of .......................................................
Date Time ................................................................................................
Location ...................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................
R.S.V.P ....................................................................................................

Kindergarten Graduation Verses
I like to mix formal announcement and or graduation
invitation wording with fun graduation clipart or a photo of the graduate for
kindergarten graduations. I think the contradiction suits the occasion well.
The young graduate feels very important and probably a bit serious about this
important event in their lives but the event itself is fun and uplifting
for everyone involved.
A suitable font would be Georgia (as shown below) and an example
of a suitable kindergarten graduation verse would be:
(Parents
names)
proudly announce their (son’s or daughter’s) Kindergarten Graduation
and invite you to attend this memorable event.
(name of graduate)
will graduate from (name of Kindergarten)
(Date and time)
(location)
R.S.V.P. (parents name and number)
|
Middle or High School Graduation
Verses These graduation verses are normally quite informal
and are an expression of the graduates personality and hobbies. Most graduates
like to hand these out themselves. Some informal wording like "invite you
to join them" would be more suited than more formal versions like "request the
pleasure of". Plus “please reply to” is better than “R.S. V. P.”.
A suitable font would be Bradley Hand ITC (as shown below) and an example of
suitable graduation invitation wording would be:
No
doubt about it, we're gonna shout about it!
Hip, hip hooray for the Graduate today!
You are invited to a Graduation Party
in honor of
(Graduate's Name)
on (Date)
at (Time)
(Location)
Please
reply to (Parent's or Graduate’s Name and telephone number)

College
Graduation Verses
The graduation verses used for college graduation invitations is much more
formal – almost wedding like.
A suitable font would be Calligraphy or Monotype Corsiva (as shown below) and
an example of a suitable college graduation invitation wording would be:
The
President, Faculty and
Graduating Class of
(college/university)
announce that
(graduates
name)
Is
a candidate for the degree of
(type of degree)
Commencement exercises will be held
(date in full i.e. Saturday, the sixteenth of June
two thousand and eight at noon)
(address
of venue)
