12 Online Graduation Invitations to Honor the Grad
Congrats, grad! It’s a sentiment you’ve been waiting to share for a very long time, and now the moment has finally arrived. Whether you’re organizing a high school or college graduation party, it’s an achievement worth celebrating. Once you’ve sent out the high school graduation announcements or college graduation announcements, the clock will be ticking to get the graduation party plans in motion.
To help you out, we’re sharing some fantastic online graduation invitations that will mark this special occasion in the exceptional style your graduate deserves. But first, let’s review why getting your graduation invitations online is a much smarter option than going the paper invite route.
Why Choosing Graduation Invitations Online Is a Good Idea
Cardstock, postage, and penmanship, oh my! These are simply a few of the factors to consider when dealing with mailed invitations. Sidestep the stress and check out these top reasons for choosing paperless invites.
- Convenience:Â Save yourself the time and headache of sifting through invitations at the store and find the perfect invite anytime, anywhere.
- Selection: All it takes is one Google search to realize just how many invitation options you have at your fingertips. Plus, many digital invitations let you create your own design or personalize different graduation invitation templates.
- Price:Â While there are affordable printed invitations, don’t forget to factor in postage. You might also have to pay extra postage, depending on the invitation’s size and weight.
- Eco-Friendly: Paper production is hard on the environment. Going paper-free is good for the planet and sends a positive message that you care about reducing your impact.
