The invitations are for everyone (mostly relatives and close
friends) that will be able to join you in your graduation and will have
reserved seats during the ceremony itself. On the other, the announcements are
given to those who require more time to prepare for your graduation – they may
be the ones living far away from you and/or those whom you see rarely because
of their tight schedule.
The larger envelopes are used to contain your smaller envelopes.
The larger ones are the ones used for mailing purposes and for formality. The
smaller envelopes are the ones that hold your announcement and other important
details for your graduation, they usually are more intimately labelled “For Dad”,
“Nana”, etc. Your seal should be placed in the smaller envelope. Moreover, your clear sheets can be cut so they will fit your invitation. You can scribble on them or you may use them as decorative purposes. Just make sure that all the necessary details are put in the clear sheets if ever you plan to write on them.
Lastly, you should send your “Thank You” notes to those who
attended and congratulated you on your event. Priority should be given to those
who attended and then to those who exerted effort for your special day, respectively.
