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:

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 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 don’t 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:

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:

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:

College Graduation Verses

The graduation verses used for college graduation invitations is much more formal – almost wedding like.
A suitable college graduation verses font would be Calligraphy or Monotype Corsiva (as shown below) and an example of a suitable college graduation invitation wording would be:
