Once you have your guest list started, the most important thing you must do is pick a date for your party. While this may seem easy, consider the end of school will be filled with other friend's graduation parties, weddings, and summer vacations, so the earlier you can decide on a date, the better. A crucial aspect of picking a date is to make sure the most important people in your child's life, grandparents, best friends, and other relatives, have the date open. Make sure everyone has the day off work, including the graduate, your spouse and your graduates significant other! Make sure best friends' parents don't schedule their party the same time as yours as everyone will be disappointed, your party mood and turnout and will suffer or may even be cut short to accommodate other events. You may want to consider mailing Save the Date Cards eight weeks or more in advance of your party so guests can mark their calendars. Parents that also have a child graduating will appreciate the heads up to avoid scheduling their party at the same time and making graduates and friends choose which party to attend. If you have people that won't come to the party because it's too hard for them to travel, consider sending graduation announcements to them instead of an invitation to a party. Your graduate will be talking about graduation on social media and at school, so be sure to include your child in all areas of party planning so your party will go smoothly and they will not miss out on important events or friends' parties they might not have told you about yet. Remember, your graduate is going to be busy with their friends at their graduation parties and you will probably be invited to several of them too, so be sure to leave time in your schedule to relax and celebrate this milestone in your child's life.

How is your handwriting? How formal is your event? These are a few of the questions that will help you decide if you need a calligrapher to address your invitation envelopes. With the availability of beautiful fonts on the internet, you might be able to download a font, free or for under $50, that will match or compliment the font used on your invitations and print your envelope addresses yourself on your home computer. If you choose to use a calligrapher, you will need to get your envelopes to them two to three weeks before the date you want to have them in the mail. Be sure to ask their turn-around time before you hire them so there are no surprises. Regardless of if you print your envelopes or hire a calligrapher, you will need to compile a neatly printed guest list. Be sure to double check the spellings and addresses of your guests by making phone calls or checking with friends and family to make sure your list is correct. Your list should include the full names of the guests and any professional titles such as Doctor, Mr., Mrs. or Miss. Do not use any abbreviations on your envelopes. Spell out numbers one through nine; the words Street, Drive, Boulevard, etc.; the word Apartment or Suite, etc., and the name of the state. No matter which way you choose to go, be sure to allow enough time to compile your list and complete the envelope printing to get them in the mail on time. |
