the Cost of Graduation Invitations

We ordered 50 graduation invitations from the school our friend graduated from. The cost was $50 for the 50 invitations and did not include envelopes.

A good friend graduated from massage school and when I was looking at her school's website to see what kind of school it was, I noticed they offered specialized invitations to graduation ceremonies. We weren't planning on throwing her a party but it got me thinking that maybe we should. I ordered 50 invitations because it was the minimum order, even though we only needed about 25. $1 per invitation seemed like a good price to me because they said they were printed up especially for their school and would be personalized with the school logo and information.

When we got the invitations there were a lot of problems. First of all, they were very generic looking. They did have the logo on them, but nothing else. Just Date, Time, etc of the party with lines to fill in. They were actually of poorer quality than the cheapo pre-printed invitations you can buy at any large chain store. The second problem was that they came without envelopes!! They were a standard size and it wasn't hard to find the right sized envelopes but I was really shocked.

Don't think that just because you're getting invitations that claim to be personalized they really are. Ask to see a sample or mock up before giving your money away.
