Unique Graduation Invites: 20 New Themes to Celebrate the Grad

Unique Graduation Invites

It’s harder to find unique graduation invites than you might think. Don’t get me wrong, there are heaps of gorgeous invites out there for graduation.

However, I keep finding the same basic ideas, gold and black or black and white. These are great ideas, and I have a few of those myself because they work great for graduation.

Nevertheless, I wanted to create a few unique graduation invites because I love graduation, it’s a fantastic feeling.

Today I’m sharing 40 unique graduation invitations. You’ll find 20 different themes below (yes, black with gold and black with white are included).


Unique Graduation Invites

1. Chalkboard

The first design is a classic chalkboard. Chalkboard is perfect for graduation because, well, it’s school, right? There are so many different ways you can go with it too.

Next up is this travel design. It’s a personal favorite of mine as I love to travel. However, it also just works so well with graduation. I remember when I graduated from college and I felt the world was just waiting for me. Adventure was definitely out there, and school itself was also quite the adventure.
