Remember less is more, especially when it comes to design. Keep it clean and simple. Select background and text color that contrast well together and easy to read. Choose a font that is easy to read, avoid cursive font that is impossible to read. Make it fun and personal. The best part in creating your own invitations is that you are able to add a personal touch or a little humor.
2. When writing the invitations, speak from the heart. If your words are sincere they will mean more to you and your guests all the more. If you're not sure what to write on your invite, do a little research online about invitation etiquette and formalities. Make sure you have the right date, time, location, dress code, or anything else that your guests should know. Sound silly but having wrong date, time, location, etc is the most common mistakes in invitations.
3. Next, you will want to find the proper card stock to print out your invitations on. Be sure to use thick and smooth card stock to print on. Invitations paper should never be thin and flimsy. Your local office supply store will have these and you can purchase them inexpensively there. When printing, be sure to select the correct size, paper tray, and just print a few copy to double check the print out, spelling, date, time, location, etc.

With a little research and effort, you can save a lot of money and personalized your graduation invitation for free. You worked hard to achieve your goal and your graduation invitations and graduation announcements should reflect your accomplishment in style. Congratulations and remember never stop learning!
