A digital invitation for a university graduation answers the three questions that flood the class chat: which faculty, what time the doors open, and how many family members get in

It's three weeks before the ceremony and the class group chat has sixty-odd messages, most of them asking the same thing. Which building? What time do the doors open? Can both my parents come, or only one? Nobody is being difficult — the information just isn't written down anywhere. A digital invitation for a university graduation puts all of it on one page, and you can build one from the catalogue today and send the link tonight.

The rest is decoration. Four facts stop the questions: faculty and degree, the time the doors open, the time the ceremony starts, and how many family members each graduate gets in. Everything else — the photos, the music, the wording — sits on top of those four.

Digital invitation for a university graduation: faculty first

The faculty and the degree go on the cover, not buried in a later scene. 'Faculty of Law, class of 2025' answers the question your uncle has already asked twice. There are almost always two times as well — when the doors open and when the ceremony begins — and most programmes only print the second one.

  • Faculty, degree and class year on the cover, spelled out in full.
  • Doors-open time and ceremony time, each with its own building.
  • Guests per graduate written as a number: 'two seats per graduate'.
  • Every part of the day — mass, diplomas, drinks in the courtyard — with its own time and place, instead of a vague 'graduation day'.

Digital invitations and the numbers at the door

Say what the invitation includes: a seat in the hall, the drinks afterwards, or both. 'You're invited' on its own creates the kind of doubt that ends in phone calls. If the hall is small, write 'one seat per family' and add a confirmation question asking who is coming. Two pieces of information, no discussion at the door.

The dress code deserves the same precision. 'Dark suit and shoes you can walk in, there are stairs' does more work than 'formal'. And if the dean moves the ceremony half an hour, you change that one field in the editor and the link you already sent shows the new time. No reprint, no second round of messages.

If the dean moves the ceremony, you edit one field. The link you sent this morning already shows the new time.

How much does a digital invitation for university graduation cost?

29.99 EUR per invitation, paid once. There's no subscription, so there's no monthly fee to remember to cancel after June. The link stays live with the updated details, and the money that would have gone on printed cards and postage can go towards the meal with your classmates. The site and the invitation content can be set up in seven languages, which helps when half the family is flying in.

Put the link or a QR code in the class group and everyone has it in a minute. Before you send, check four fields: faculty, doors-open time, guests per graduate, and the exact address with a door number, not just the campus name. Try it free in preview mode, then publish once the dean confirms the final schedule.
