Graduation is a rite of passage, a milestone that transitions one phase of your life to the other.  All around the world celebrations occur as an acknowledgment of a  job well done.  Graduation celebrations run the gamut from small and intimate to elaborate and grand.  Much depends on the graduation party budget and the level of education.  Many people celebrate with  close family members at a favorite restaurant or host a party in their own home.  Others,  hire caterers and rent halls and some,  throw extravagant high priced dinners in reception halls.  Whatever the choice or budget,  pride and love are the main ingredients in the celebration.  

There are many kinds of graduations  and you can find a variety of graduation invitations and themes in our graduation section at Myheartspoken.com .

The standard practice for sending out formal graduation invitations is six to eight weeks prior to the graduation ceremony.  Two to four weeks are sufficient for a less formal celebration.   It would be wise to request a R.S.V.P date to help with the party planning.  You don't want to have enough food for a crowd unless you are actually expecting one.
