How to Create Graduation Party Invitations

Make a graduation cap party invitation.

A graduation marks a milestone for the graduate and her parents. Planning a graduation party can cost a lot. Instead of purchasing graduation party invitations, you can make your own at home with craft supplies. Homemade invitations will allow you to customize for the theme of the party. Personalized graduation party invitations will impress your guests and save money.

Things You'll Need

• Scissors
• Black card stock
• Embroidery string
• Hot-glue gun
• White card stock
• Glue stick
• Calligraphy pen
• Pencil

Instructions

1. Cut out squares 6 by 6 inches from black card stock. You will need enough squares for each guest you plan to invite.

2. Tie 10 to 15 pieces of embroidery string together. Form one solid knot at the end of the strings to hold them together.

3. Glue the knotted end of the embroidery string to the center of the black square with a hot-glue gun. Choose embroidery string that matches your school's colors to customize the invitations.

4. Cut out squares 4 by 4 inches from white card stock. Flip the graduation hat over and tilt it so that it looks like a diamond.

5. Glue the white card stock to the back of the black card stock with a glue stick.

6. Allow the glue to dry completely. Write the details on the graduation party invitation with a calligraphy pen. For best results, sketch the details in with a pencil, then proofread and trace over this with a pen to avoid mistakes.

7. Include all the important details on the graduation party. Write the name of the graduate, time, place, location and date. Inform guests if they need to RSVP.
