Make sure you include the graduation date, grad invites time, and location, as well as the name of the graduating student. It is your responsibility to customize the text style, font, and card colors according to your preferences.

A template can be found on the Microsoft website. To access the template options, click on “invitations” and then either “event invitations” (see direct link below) or “party invitations”. There must be some that are designed specifically for graduation events.

Open the template file in Microsoft Word by double-clicking the template file after unzipping your desired design.

Place the text about the graduation celebration in the appropriate text boxes. Customise the font and colour of the text as desired.

If you prefer, you can also e-mail the file to your local copy shop to have it professionally printed. But first, convert the Word document to PDF format using the CreatePDF.adobe.com function. A PDF file is preferred by many printers because the images and text are static (cannot move).
