the Cost of Graduation Invitations

The invitations/announcements that I purchased were the typical kind for my son's high school graduation. They were printed by one of those companies that specializes in high school products, and they also furnished things like the cap and gown and tassel for an additional charge. The number of announcement/invitations we ordered was 40, so they worked out to less than $2.00 each with the total price being $75.00. This price did not include tax, which is a little over 8% here. The invitations were customized for their school, with inscriptions of their motto as well as information about the time, date and place of the graduation. The invitations also included name cards to insert with a photo, and inner and outer envelopes.

I was generally satisfied with this product because it was what it was represented to be, a simple invitation. The order arrived in a timely fashion (over a month before the graduation) and there were no errors or corrections that needed to be made. I have seen higher quality invitations with more embossing and better card stock, but for the price I thought these were a bargain,

While I would probably make my own invitations on my computer for other events like birthdays and anniversaries, I think a wedding or a graduation calls for a more formal invitation, and of course you want your child's invitation to be the same as his friends'. The only recommendation I would make is to check the order as soon as you receive it in case there are corrections that need to be made, to allow time for this.
