Graduation Party Invitation Wording
The thing about graduation parties is that there are lots of them. Many of them happen on the same day or the same weekend. And of course, there’s lots of crossover on the invite lists, so many people are receiving multiple graduation party invitations (not to mention going away parties).
What’s the point of all this? Simply that if you’re planning a graduation party, it’s behooves you to send out invitations that stand out from the crowd. At the very least, your invites should be clearly worded, so there’s less room for mix ups. Here are some examples of graduation party invitation wording that make a strong impression.
