Invitations are important especially for events like graduations, birthdays, baby shower, and weddings among other events.
Invitations and especially graduation invitations need to be done one month earlier before the event to avoid last minute rush which could cause confusion.
Before the invitation, you should figure out the number of people needed in that event depending on your budget.
Before the actual invitation, there should be a graduation announcement. This is just a formal announcement that someone is graduating on a specific date. This helps people have familiarity with the event and plan for presents in advance or even do consultations where necessary.
The announcement does not need any designs and can simply be done through emails or any other cheap means of communication. After the announcement, the invitation should now follow.
Thinking ahead is often very important since it helps you design the perfect form of invitation, design it in time and get them sent out with enough notice time prior to the graduation day.
You also need time to know who you are looking to invite to the event.
While choosing the wording for the invitation, you need to disclose the name of the person who is graduating, the level of education they are being awarded for and the name of the school they are graduating from. More to that also include the date of the graduation party, the time of the event and the location of the event.
It’s true that designing a perfect invitation to a graduation party can be overwhelming, so the best solution for this is to give yourself adequate time.
Depending on your budget you can choose consultants to design everything for you, but however, if your budget does not cater for consultants, you can do it with the help of these free printable graduation invitation templates.

Make unique personalized designs for the graduation party for free
Unique designs are costly as they can only come from consultants. They are however very appealing and often communicate more about how much you treasure the event. The cards are often designed depending on the type of school you are graduating from. There are specific invitations for the school of medicine, school of law and the other schools.
The channel for delivering communication is also very important. This, however, depends on how you relate to the people you are inviting to the graduation. There are some which you can opt to send through the courier services; some can be emailed while there are others you can opt to deliver personally. Delivering the invitation in person can be good and could mean more to some people.
This can, however, be done to leaders, and close relatives or people you wouldn’t want to miss the event.
After invitations are sent it’s important to follow up with phone calls or even emails to ensure that each invited person has received their invitation cards.
This shows the invited guests that you value their presence in your event.
