How do I send graduation party invitations online?

Pick a design from Greenvelope's graduation collection, add the graduate's photo and school colors if you want them, and fill in the party date, time and address. Import your guest list from a spreadsheet or your address book, turn on RSVP tracking, then send by email or text message (in supported countries). Replies and the running headcount stay in one place instead of spread across texts from relatives.

When should graduation party invitations go out?

Four to six weeks before the party is the working window, and six to eight weeks is better if relatives are traveling or there are several graduates in the family. May and June weekends fill fast with other ceremonies and parties, so the invitation that arrives first tends to be the one people can actually attend. Ask for replies about two weeks out so you can order food.

Can one invitation cover the ceremony and the party?

It can, as long as you say which parts each guest is invited to. Most schools cap ceremony tickets, so name the number you have and use a custom question to ask who wants one, then treat the party itself as the open invitation. That way nobody assumes a seat at the ceremony that does not exist, and you learn early who needs a ticket.

Can two families send one invitation for a joint graduation party?

Yes. A joint party is one mailing with both guest lists imported into it, both graduates named on the card, and one set of RSVPs coming back. Agree before you send who is watching the responses, since they arrive in the account the invitation was sent from, and split the guest count between the two families when you choose your package.

How much do digital graduation party invitations cost?

Greenvelope invitations are a flat one-time price starting at $19, set by guest count, with no subscription required and no per-guest charges, so the cost per guest falls as the list grows. If the family is also sending announcements and thank you notes this season, an annual membership covers unlimited mailings as long as each one is for a different purpose. There is no credit card required to start.

How does Greenvelope calculate people?

Each person (with or without email) added to the mailing list counts as (1) person. For example, "The Smith Family" of John, Jill, Tim, and Lauren would count as (4) people.

What if I am unsure how many people I need?

In this case, we recommend purchasing a smaller package initially. You can then easily purchase additional people from within your mailing on an as needed basis.

Can I send in multiple batches?

Greenvelope allows you to resend invitations or send invitations to new contacts at any time.

What if I need multiple versions of my card?

The best way to set this up would be to have two different mailings. You will need to purchase a separate "single mailing" package for each version.

Do you offer RSVP tracking?

Yes! Greenvelope's robust RSVP tracking makes planning effortless. You can collect RSVPs, track plus ones, gather meal selections, send RSVP reminders, set up seating charts, and more.

Can I also send my invitations via text message?

In addition to email, you can send your Greenvelope invitations and cards via SMS text message, WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, or a sharable link.

Do you offer digital thank you notes or save the dates?

Yes, in addition to our digital invitations and RSVP tracking, Greenvelope offers both save the dates and thank you notes. Each mailing type provides easy-to-use features, such as address collection on save the dates and individual customization for thank you notes.

What if I need to update my invitation after I've sent it?

You can do that! One of the many benefits of digital invitations is that you can add additional information, update your card, or quickly follow-up with guests with ease.

Can I send a sample to myself?

Yes! When you arrive at the 'Send' step after designing your mailing, your account information will automatically be added so you can easily send yourself a test and make sure everything looks exactly how you want it.

Our Help Center is always available to help guide you through the process and answer common questions.
