A Different Kind of Graduation
2020 was supposed to be an awesome year for my son. He was graduating high school, for goodness sake! But as we all know, things for 2020 didn’t go as planned. We were disappointed that the usual graduation plans had to be scrapped but we wanted to some how celebrate our son’s achievement.
So instead of having the typical big blow-out party, we had to do something on a much smaller and safer scale. After thoughtful consideration, we decided to go ahead with a “party” of sorts. What did we do?
We sent out open house invitations. The concept of the outdoor open house party, was so that people could feel more comfortable dropping by whenever it suited them. They didn’t have to come or go at a certain time. They simply dropped by when they wanted. This resulted in us not having too many people in one space at one time. It worked out perfectly for us especially because we had to maintain socially distant guidelines.
And thankfully, the weather cooperated!
While many people these days opt to send a digital invite, we decided to send out an actual graduation party invitation. It was a physical, tangible memento of the celebration. It was especially nice for those who couldn’t make it to the party.
Looking to Celebrate?
If you have a graduation to celebrate or any other momentous event for that matter, make it special however you can. And if you are looking to send out announcements or invitations, you should definitely check out Basic Invite. They having amazing options for invitations for weddings, baby showers, Bar & Bat Mitzvahs, for example. And of course they offer both college & high school graduation cards.
The thing I love most about Basic Invite is the abundance of customization options. They allow their customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once a design is selected, customers can change the color, font, spacing, sizing of elements on the card. You can get matching color envelopes and even order a printed sample prior to placing a final order, which I love!
With all the craziness going on in the world, it is great to have a reason to celebrate. Whatever good you have going on in your life, find a way to enjoy and remember it. And why not send an announcement to share with those you love.

Yes, I get the feeling your son had! My own graduation was basically cancelled last year and it was sad knowing I’ll never have that high school graduation experience. The schools tried to make it more interesting, but it kind of fell flat. Thanks for sharing more reasons to celebrate!
