Write a graduation celebration invitation

Graduation week may involve several commitments for guests. Say whether your gathering follows a ceremony or is a separate celebration so arrival plans are clear.

What to include

  • Explain whether the celebration is separate from the ceremony.
  • Give the gathering’s own location and time.
  • Request party size by a realistic planning date.

An example you can adapt

Illustrative wording. Replace the sample details with your own.

Please join us for a small celebration of the graduation. This gathering is separate from the university ceremony and will begin at the time listed here. Kindly RSVP with your party size by Friday so we can prepare refreshments.

Put the plan into practice

A clear private invitation explains the occasion, the guest’s next step, and what the host needs to prepare. Keep the invitation link within the intended circle. Set required or optional RSVP questions according to the information you actually need, then review replies before making arrangements.

  1. Create a Private Invite with the occasion and capacity.
  2. Add relevant RSVP questions and share the link with intended guests.
  3. Review guest answers, capacity, and any waitlist before finalizing the plan.

An invitation to your gathering does not provide admission to a separate graduation ceremony.

A practical question

Should I include ceremony information in the party invitation?

Only as context, and make clear whether guests are invited to the ceremony or just your separate gathering.
