subject: Graduation Invitations Have Evolved [print this page] A decade or so ago, a high school or college graduation invitation was normally just a rather plain announcement that contained text stating the name of the graduate, the school and the details regarding where the party would be held. In other words, there were very limited choices, to say the least. This seems odd thinking back, because those graduates were just as excited to finish school and earn their degrees as today's graduates, yet they had to send out dull and uninteresting invitations.
Today however, graduates can announce the happy news of their accomplishment in a wide variety of fun and exciting ways! Probably the most popular graduation announcements being used these days are the photo announcements/invitations. This type of announcement features a large color photo of the proud graduate or even a series of photos on the front with the name, degree, school and date, time and location of both the graduation ceremony and the party. You can pick the color and pattern of the background, personalize it however you wish and choose from a wide variety of fonts in all styles and colors.
A graduation is a huge accomplishment and a big day. Every grad should invite everyone he or she knows to join in the celebration by sending out bright, colorful and cheerful graduation party invitations that are suitable for framing. The design choices are as individual as the graduate and if a photo invite is not your thing, there are still many, many choices. Today's graduation invitations are much more interesting than what they used to be and can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. Consider sending invites that have only the date of the graduation in very large text on the front, with the details inside.
The news only gets better regarding graduation invites. Thanks to the advances of the internet, it is no longer necessary to drive all over looking for a card store that sells a wide range of invitations. Instead, you only need to pull a chair up to your computer, have a seat and shop from the comfort of your home. There are numerous online retailers that specialize in nothing but invitations and the variety is as wide as the sky! It is a joy to shop for invitations online as you can sit and customize them and see what they will look like before making the purchase. Just be sure you choose a retailer that has many types with lots of categories so you will be sure to get exactly the sort you want.
