Funny graduation invitation verses are a good idea to bring a smile to your invited guests’ faces, which might counteract the other frequent emotion of bittersweet astonishment. Because that grad was once such a wee lad or lass, and since they’re graduating now, it means you’re significantly older.
Commemorating Wit
The funny graduation invitation verses, we will reference or provide resources for, can be included on a personal note on something like a graduation card or a graduation party invitation. If you don’t want to be that person that is passing on the serious, weighty quotes and words about life after graduation, then this article is for you. Although the following quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson is my favorite: “Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
The amusing words you find could also be incorporated onto to a custom invitation that gets sent out to everyone on a guest list. I just wrote an article detailing all the methods and sources available to make graduation invitations. Whether you want to do it yourself using templates, or outsource it to an online printer after personalizing a card on their site, the solutions are all laid out for you in Graduation Invitations on a Budget . But they verses can also just be passed on to the grad at the right moment, in a speech or a toast, for instance. It’s good to have a few of these rattling around in your head in May and June of every year. You never know when they might come in handy.
A quick note before we move on to the witty words. Do you have any home school folks in your life; be it the brave parents who undertake this endeavor or the students on the other end? There are still ways to honor these folks with a gathering for the purposes of observing the conclusion of learning all that knowledge. How to Hold a Home School Graduation Ceremony explains some great methods to do so those students don’t get deprived out of the ceremony both public and private school students have to suffer through.
