Graduation invitations do double duty: they announce the achievement and invite people to the party. Lead with the grad's name and what they finished; the where-and-when follows.
Starts from: “Graduation party for my daughter finishing NYU, backyard barbecue in June, casual and proud” — edit anything once it’s designed.

Good to know
The grad's name, school and class year, then the party's date, time, place, and RSVP. If it's open-house style, say 'drop by between 3 and sunset' so guests don't feel pinned to a start time.
Send them the invitation anyway — it doubles as the announcement — and they can reply with a note. Every RevelPost invitation has two-way messaging built in.
Every example above regenerates as your event — your names, your venue, your date, verified.
