How to Personalize Your Free Printable Graduation Party Invitation

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 Printable Graduation Party 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 Free Printable Graduation Party Invitation

To create free printable graduation party invitations is very simple.

I use "Microsoft" and "Paint" to create invites in a few minutes.

You can make the invitations in any color you want. Perhaps school colors or a favorite color of the graduate's.

The main ingredient is the cap and scroll clipart. Using clipart you can create amazing printable graduation invitations.

There are simple and more advanced ways of making printable invitations. Firstly the simple process:

The simplest process is:

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 (instructions below) 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.

For a large selection of clipart, advanced techniques, and full instruction on exactly what to do see the clipart page.

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

Free Printable Graduation Party Invitation Paper

There are a few considerations in choosing graduation paper

• Your budget.


• The color of paper that you wish. White ideally suits the Cap and Scroll design. However a contrasting color would be great too.


• The thickness, or quality feel, you require. Perhaps your invites need to be strong or you just like the overall presentation that quality paper gives.

I like to use white cardstock with a cap and scroll to get the right look and a quality feel to the paper.

If you have a design with a lot of background color it can use a lot of ink. That may be OK, you may be using a local printer or you could just use a colored paper to provide the colored background instead.

The graduation paper page gives all the options you need.

As well as for a free printable graduation party invitation, the same paper can be used for Cap and Scroll style thank you notes, Cap and Scroll place cards and Cap and Scroll announcements.
