It’s finally Here!
This is the week of graduation and I honestly am in sheer unbelief that this
week has finally come. I am filled with nerves (mostly because I have to give a
speech!) and utter excitement. In honor of graduation on Thursday I thought I would
dedicate this entire week of blog posts to graduation and everything that comes along with graduation.
So on today’s
menu are graduation announcements and graduation party inviations! So let
me first warn you. I could be what you call a perfectionist and I have a
tendency to like to do things my own way. I like to stick out from the crowd and be original, not a bad thing right?
So first for my
graduation announcements. I wanted something out of the ordinary and something
that showed who I am. Instead of going with the traditional school
announcements I found Krysta through her Esty shop, KM Thomas designs. I
purchased the CUSTOM DESIGN photo announcement or invitation for
only $20.00! She was so easy and great to work with and designed me a fabulous, one of a kind, announcement. She let me make any changes I want and
then printed them on card stock and supplied me with envelopes! I highly
suggest that if you want something custom to definitely look into her!
Here’s a picture of
my finished announcement:
Lilly, Anchors, and
navy and pink?! Could it scream any more preppy?
I then went to our
local staples and purchased the Avery circle labels (which are so easy to use!)
and went online to their website and used their template on their website and
printed these stickers at home to seal my envelope!
If I remember right I
think I got the 2 ½ inch circles!
Then my mom and I got
to stuffing and sealing and put them in the mailbox! All 75 ready to be
shipped!
Now for my graduation
party invites.
My grad party theme
was Lilly/ southern traditional so I wanted to stick with that theme
for my invitations. I found these adorable Lilly Pulitzer shift dress cards on
this website and figured these would make the perfect invitation! They came in all different
patterns and got so many compliments on them.
They came in these
cute boxes!
They came in a
variety of patterns!
Inside I printed out pieces of card stock I made
with all the information and used double sided tape to seal it inside (sorry I
had to blur out my address!)
I finished them off
with the same sticker except a little smaller in size.
I hope this gave you
ideas and inspiration about how you want your grad announcements and
invitations when the time comes! Let me know if you have any questions!
Keep in mind,
Cheers!
