If there is one thing I wish I had done while in college, it would have been to throw myself a graduation party. I worked really hard to graduate with two degrees in four years, and although I celebrated plenty with friends, I still wish I would’ve had a proper party with family and friends. You may be thinking graduation season is far off, but in less than three months colleges and universities will be prepping and expecting loved ones to celebrate the class of 2017! And since most ceremonies are limited to just a few guests, that’s when it’s time to send the invites for your graduation celebration! With so much to do and worry about before graduation actually approaches, let the invitations be the easy part. That’s where Basic Invite takes center stage…
From lovely wedding invitations, adorable baby announcements, pretty stationery, and everything in between, it’s no wonder Basic Invite has been a favorite of mine, especially for Graduation announcements! So if I had thrown myself a graduation party, these are some of the fun customizable graduation announcements I would’ve sent out…
Almost Unlimited Colors
You can’t celebrate your graduation without showcasing the colors of the school you put years of hard work in….Basic Invite is one of the few websites that gives customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once you select a design you can change the color of each element on the card to over 180 different color options. That way, you can make sure the card is exactly how you want it, down to the littlest detail. This is what sets them apart from almost any other online stationery company and is definitely one of their biggest draws.

Over 40 Different Envelope Colors

Free Address Collection Service
One of the hassles of sending invitation for any celebration, is actually gathering up different addresses and then getting them all onto the envelopes. Basic Invite makes this step so much easier, with their free address collection service that requests your invitees’ addresses with just three simple steps – you share a link, collect addresses, and then get free envelope printing. How simple is that!?
Photo Keepsakes
A photo of us dressed in our graduation cap and gown are sentimental, but let’s face it, they’re never really flattering photos of us during such a monumental occasion. That’s why using a photo as your graduation invite is the perfect excuse to actually capture a beautiful shot you’ll want to look back on. I love that the The Simplicity Portrait announcement works perfectly for both graduating gals and guys.
The Simplicity Portrait Announcement | Photo Graduation Announcements
I love Basic Invite’s then and now announcement that combines photos of the grad when they were just young children first beginning their educational journey and then as adults embarking on their collegiate or career paths. This is one invite that will be sure to make parents, grandparents and family “Aww” with delight.
