How to Personalize Your Graduation Invitations

1. Create a text box that completely covers all the wording you want to replace. NB. If you need to use precision when placing your text box then press CTRL & the Up and Down keys.
2. Enter your own customized wording in the text box.
3. Please note - you can type the names of those you are inviting on each invite and print them separately (or even do a mail merge if your a computer whiz) but if you choose to handwrite those you are inviting on your invitations then I'd recommend a calligraphy set - www.joann.com a lovely "Zig Calligraphy" set.

How to Print your Free Graduation Invitation

1. Open a word document.
2. Set the printer to the desired paper size.
3. Insert the image.
4. Adjust the margins to zero.
5. Adjust the image to cover the full size of the paper. Do this by clicking on the image and dragging one of the corner arrows.
6. To ensure everything looks just right go to File, Print Preview.
7. Print a "cut to size" test sheet to be certain that the font, font size and placement of your message will be as you desire. Make any necessary adjustments, then print your invitations.

Tip - Mark an X on one side of the test sheet prior to printing. This will help you determine which way up to place the invitation in the printer.

Make Your Own Printable Graduation Invitation

You can simply make your own printable graduation invitations. This free printable graduation invitation took me about 5 minutes using “Microsoft Word” and “Paint” which you probably have on your own computer.

The invitation on this page is turqouise and is a simple, effective style. You can have any color you wish. For exampe you could have shool colors or the graduate's favorite color.

To add to the images on the invitations, consider a cap, scroll or an item the graduate is associated with. Perhaps the graduate has a favorite hobby, sport or pastime.

The other secret ingredient is clipart - you’ll find a great selection of clipart, along with exact instructions on how to use it.

Using clipart you can make envelopes, favor tags, place cards, party hats, game certificates, T-shirts, and save the date fridge magnets.

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 curser 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 personalise it.

Graduation Invitation Paper

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

The invitations on this page are great on any paper that fits your printer.

You may use a fairly normal white printer paper and that gives great results.

A colored paper may not be so successful as the color will come from the printable graduation invitation.

As a great alternative you might want to use a thicker paper. That would give a real quality feel and make your invites seem expensive. I like cardstock and blank invitation paper. Popular too is scrapbook paper although it requires more effort.

The graduation paper page gives you all your options.

The same paper can be used for thank you notes, place cards and announcements.
