When I wrote this, as the 2010 graduation season was closing in, VistaPrint was running a 50% off sale on their custom graduation invitations . That VistaPrint link brings you to their online application which enables you to customize one of their templates with your party specifics and even a photo of that grad of yours. Wow, 2010 graduations already. 1990 was my year, for high school that is. It brings to mind some Bob Seger lyrics:
“Twenty years now. Where’d they go? Twenty years. I don’t know. Sit and I wonder sometimes. Where they’ve gone. Sometimes late at night. When I’m bathed in the firelight.The moon comes calling a ghostly white. And I recall.”
Since you’re the party thrower, you’re probably not the one graduating now either, so you know what I mean. Dispense with the “back in my day” rhetoric. Youth is a time for brazen disregard for the status quo and it is to be expected and (for the most part) respected.
Alright, enough nostalgia and unwarranted advice out of me. You’ve got a good set of options above to make party invitations. Smilebox.com has a host of templates you can use to produce a customized invitation for a graduation party along with the means to plop a photo on there too. So shop around for the best prices from the online printers or the printing companies near you; they’re all competing for your money, after all. Or if you’re up to it, use the free and easy templates I provided above and then plan a grand affair for to celebrate a significant milestone of your graduate.
