Paper for your Printable Graduation Invitations

You may want to choose the invitations paper.

The printable graduation invitations on this page are great on any paper. Although it does need to be paper that fits in your printer.

Normal white printer paper, which you probably buy at low cost locally, is just perfect. Producing great invitations.

Colored paper can really enhance your invitations, if the paper color fits your theme. For example the color could be school colors, the graduate’s favorite color, a Mardi Gras color such as one of purple, green or gold. Or, a yellow color could replicate ‘old’ paper which could be great on a pirate theme invite for say a treasure map.

Sometimes a thicker, better quality, paper is required. That could be blank invitation paper, cardstock or scrapbook for example. The paper you use depends on the purpose. Perhaps you want a better quality feel or even replicating ticket paper, for example.

The graduation paper page gives all the details you need for this important decision.
