Graduation marked a major milestone and a truly unforgettable day in my life. I remember the days leading up to it, excited to send out the perfect celebratory invitation to all my family and friends. Back then (which feels like ages ago now), the choices for colors and styles were pretty limited. These days, though, there’s a plethora of options to choose from.
With a background in art and design, I’ve always prided myself on being able to recognize good design when I see it. So when I discovered Basic Invite, I was blown away by their stunning templates and how easy it is to customize every detail, from colors to fonts.

As graduation approaches, there’s already so much to plan. If you’re in need of senior or graduate photos, I’ve got you covered there (hi, photographer here!). But if you’re on the hunt for graduation invitations, Basic Invite is a go-to destination for all things stationery.

From announcements to thank you cards, they’ve thought of everything to help you kick off the celebration. And trust me, family and friends love receiving thank you cards with a handwritten note inside.
What makes Basic Invite stand out from other platforms?
- An address capturing service that prints addresses right onto your envelopes
- Over 180 color options for full customization
- Complimentary white peel-and-seal envelopes
- Free printed samples so you can see your design before placing a full order
For someone with a designer’s eye (like me!), these options make a world of difference. Being able to tweak the colors and fonts to match your vision, and see it in print before committing, gives you peace of mind that your invitations will look just right.

Honestly, I wish something like Basic Invite had existed when I graduated. But the good news? There are still plenty of celebrations ahead. I already know I’ll be using them for birthdays, holidays, and other big moments to come.
You can find Basic Invite on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, to explore more of their designs and inspiration.
And to the remarkable graduating class of 2024:
Congratulations! Your hard work, determination, and growth have brought you here. Step into this new chapter with confidence, courage, and heart. You’ve earned every bit of this celebration.
Cheers, Class of 2024! 🎓✨
