Crank up the “Pomp and Circumstance”—graduation season is upon us! The best part about a landmark occasion like this one is celebrating with your loved ones, and that starts with the invitation. No matter your degree (PhD, bachelor’s, high school or even preschool) we’ve figured out the fitting words for your invitation, so the only thing you have to worry about is your grad crossing that stage.
For any graduation invitation, there are a few key details you’ll definitely want to include to make sure guests have all the information they need to make it to your grad’s celebration. Evite’s event details section can help you figure out what info to share with your guests, but in general, these are the details you’ll need to share when sending a graduation invitation:
The what: Tell your guests what they’re being invited to! For instance, let them know if this is the official graduation ceremony, an open house grad party or a lowkey backyard party.
The who: Include the grad’s full name, their school name and graduation year. You should also note who the host is.
The where: Provide the name and address of the event’s location.
The when: Note when the ceremony or party begins (and ends, if applicable).
If you have more info you want to share, no worries! You can always add more details in the “Note from host” box, from info about the grad’s degree to deets about the dress code for the event.
After you send out your invitation, put together a “What to Bring” list to let your guests know what essential items you’re hoping to have at your event. This is super helpful for planning the ultimate potluck grad party or for ensuring you’ve got all the necessities for an outdoor ceremony (*cough cough* sunscreen and signs!).

When editing your graduation invitation, you’ll want to make sure your formatting is clear and your info is easy to read.
In terms of invitation text, we suggest keeping it simple and including the following on your invitation design:
Make sure to choose a font style and text color that suits your invitation and keeps your information legible.
Remember: There’s no need to try to cram everything onto your invitation! With Evite’s event details section, you’ll be able to share all the event specifics with your guests separately from the info included on the invitation design. For example, you might choose to just include the name of your event’s location on the invitation design and save the full address for the event details section.

Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
