Graduation Invitation Templates

A graduation card does two different jobs depending on how you use it: announcing the achievement, or inviting people to the party afterwards. These templates handle both - the degree line sits directly under the name, and the venue block below it can be cleared entirely if you are only announcing.

The navy laurel and black-gold designs read as formal ceremony cards, both with a metallic foil finish on the line work. The confetti and burgundy layouts are lighter and suit a party at home.

An announcement and an invitation are different cards: one shares news, the other asks people to come. If you are sending the first to relatives who cannot attend, a congratulations card is usually the warmer version of it.

Common questions

What is the difference between a graduation announcement and an invitation?

An announcement shares the news and expects nothing back. An invitation asks the reader to attend something, so it must carry a date, a venue and a way to reply. These templates work as either - clear the venue box for an announcement.

When should graduation invitations be sent?

Three to four weeks before the ceremony or party. University ceremony tickets are often limited, so confirm how many guests you can bring before sending anything.

Should the degree be written in full?

Yes, on a formal card - "Bachelor of Science in Computer Science" rather than "BSCS". Abbreviations read as informal and not every relative will recognise them.
