Digital school graduation invitations

At a school graduation the hard part is not inviting people: it is that the seats are counted. The invitation has to say how many passes each family gets before anybody makes plans.

Almost every preschool, elementary, or middle school graduation happens in a hall with fixed capacity, and there "everyone is welcome" is a promise you cannot keep. With one invitation per family and its own cap on passes, each household sees its own number as it replies: two, four, whatever it is. Nobody has to be turned away at the door.

The second detail is the real schedule. A graduation has a ceremony and then a reception, and the ceremony starts when the school says it does. An itinerary with the arrival time, the diplomas, and the reception keeps grandma from walking in right after her grandchild left the stage.

Before you send it

  • State how many passes each family has

    It is the first question and the most awkward one to answer later. Every invitation carries its own cap, so it answers itself.

  • Give the itinerary, not just a time

    Arrival, ceremony, diplomas, reception. With that, nobody misses the part they came for.

  • Invite the teachers and the staff too

    If the school allows it, it is the most appreciated invitation of the day — and with a link it costs nothing extra.

Questions about this occasion

How do I limit the seats per family?

Each invitation is created with its own number of passes, so a family with two sees two when replying and cannot go over. The head count adds itself up, which is the number the venue asks for.

Does it work for preschool, elementary, and middle school?

Yes, and the designs are built for exactly that: a school graduation is a children's celebration with family, not a black-tie ceremony. There are cap-and-diploma templates for each age.

How far ahead should it go out?

Three to four weeks. Graduations fall in June and July, when many families are already planning holidays, so the sooner the date is on their calendar the better.
