Dropping your graduation party invitations in the mail might be one of the best moments of your life.
If you are mailing invitations to the actual graduation ceremony, they should be mailed 2-4 weeks before the event. If you are mailing graduation announcement only, be sure to send them up to two weeks after the ceremony to friends and family who are too far away to join you but would want to share in the news of your accomplishment.
As most schools limit the number of guests you can invite to the actual commencement, having a party after the actual graduation date allows the graduate to celebrate this special moment with family and friends.
If you are planning to have a party or reception to celebrate, you can mail invitations to that event that can also serve as graduation announcements or include them as a separate invitation in the envelope with your graduation announcements.
As you’ll be sharing the graduation season with your child’s friends and other graduations, sending a Save the Date card might be a smart thing to do.
A graduation party can be a luncheon, a barbecue, casual or formal, or anything in between. You’ll find graduation party invitations on shimmery papers, invitations accented with ribbons or inserted in jacket wraps, or fun, humorous invitations guests will enjoy.
The wording of your invitations or announcements can seem so simple until you actually need to get it done. Announcingit.com has lots of wording samples that include quotes from famous people, sayings, poems or humorous rhymes that you can use to create your own, personalized graduation invitations.

It is always helpful when a host prints the expected mode of dress on the invitation, but with holiday invitations stating “Festive Holiday Attire” and “Holiday Chic” it’s not always easy to decipher exactly what that means.
Some invitation clues can help you decide what type of dress is expected.
If an invitation states “Festive Holiday Attire”, here are some guidelines:
For Women:
Add a bit of holiday color and sparkle or beading to your outfit.
Nice black pants or simple black skirt with a red silk blouse or cashmere sweater or sweater set, nice dressy flats or pull out chic pumps. No out-of-season shoes, totally out-of-style, over worn or dated shoes – hear Jimmy Choo calling you and go shopping, it’s a party you’re going to!
Use the time of the party to guide you as to how dressed-up or dressed down you should be.
No chipped or dirty nails, go bare and buffed nails if time doesn’t permit new polish.
No overdone makeup, hair accessories or jewelry (nothing that clinks). (Dress from Boston Proper)
For Men:
Add some holiday color to your shirt – a deep burgundy or dark forest green, nice dark dress pants (usually stay away from khakis or light colors).
It’s a party, wear something besides jeans, but dark well-pressed perfect jeans if you think they are appropriate.
Nice leather shoes, no thick rubber soled clunkers – think GQ, and dark socks (cover the calf), 
maybe red or green holiday pattern depending on the time and location of the party.
For evening and for warmth, wear a nice sport coat and leave the large cable knit sweaters in your closet. (Entire look from Men’s Wearhouse – wear burgundy shirt instead of white shown for a holiday touch.)
Fashion Faux Pas:
Always make sure your clothes are clean and pressed – no worn, frayed, faded or stains anywhere.
No missing buttons, unraveling anywhere or broken zippers.
Make sure you are comfortable – ladies, can you sit down, bend over, reach for the appetizers without a wardrobe malfunction?
Nothing too slinky or sexy, no straps or underwear showing, you might have to see these people at work on Monday.
