Graduation season fills up fast, with overlapping parties and traveling relatives. A save-the-date gets your celebration on everyone's calendar before the rush.
Add the grad's photo, choose a bold or classic template, and send the date so family and friends can be there for the big accomplishment.
When to send
Send graduation save-the-dates 6 to 8 weeks ahead — earlier in spring when family calendars fill with multiple ceremonies and parties.
What to include
- The graduate's name
- The school and the year or degree, if you'd like
- The party date
- The host city or venue area
- 'Party details to follow'
The first step
A save-the-date is step one
The save-the-date holds the day. Next come the invitation and the RSVPs — and that’s exactly what ScanRSVP is built for. When the date gets closer, set up a free RSVP page with a QR code guests scan, an automatic guest list, meal choices, and reminders, all in one place.
Frequently asked questions
When should graduation save-the-dates be sent?
Six to eight weeks before the party, and earlier in the spring when guests may be juggling several graduations.
Is a graduation save-the-date different from an announcement?
Yes — an announcement shares the accomplishment, while a save-the-date asks guests to hold the date for your celebration.
