An Orange Banner and a Mortarboard for Any Graduate
A big orange banner hangs from a tilted black mortarboard on a peach page, with a red strip that says INVITE YOU TO THE and the words CLASS OF 20XX GRADUATION in dark capitals above a red script Party. Silhouettes of graduates throwing caps fade into the foot. It is a general design that suits any school or level.
Banner, Date Block and Venue Strip
The card is 5 x 7 inches, portrait, one page. The date and the time range sit in large dark capitals under the banner. A red strip carries the school name, and the address and RSVP number sit in small capitals at the foot.
Date, Time Range and RSVP
The sample gives December 30, 20XX from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at XYZ Central Hall, with an RSVP number. Replace 20XX in both places, and retype the school name in the red strip. The sentence starts INVITE YOU TO THE, so it needs a host in front of it, for example the family name or the class. Add one on the line above.
Finishing the Generic Invitation
- Replace both 20XX marks.
- Add a host to the opening line.
- Retype the school.
- Set the time range.
- Fill in the hall and RSVP number.
Writing the Missing Host Line
The banner text reads like the second half of a sentence. Add The Smith Family or The Class of Science above it, and the line becomes complete. Keep the added line in the same font so it blends with the card.
Using a Time Range
A four hour range tells guests how long to stay. For a hall that is booked by the hour, keep the end time firm. For a home party, give only a start time and let the evening flow.
Colour Choices for School Spirit
Orange and red are warm and loud. If your school has its own colours, change the banner and strip to match, and keep the dark text so that the card stays readable.
Sending the Graduation Invitation
Save as PDF for print or PNG for messages. Send the card as soon as the date is fixed.
