Commencement Exercise

Since we are talking about Graduation Invitations, let’s delve on this closing of a new chapter and why it is an important mark of huge success of every student’s life. There are numerous types of graduations—elementary graduation, high school graduation, college graduation, and so on.

Graduation—or also called commencement, convocation, or invocation—is the obtaining of a diploma or academic degree in which students become graduates. Before the graduation, candidates are referred to as graduands, and the date of graduation is often called graduation day. At the college and university levels, the faculty will usually wear academic dresses at the formal ceremonies, as will the administrator and degree candidates.

Graduation at the college and university level happens when the supervising officer deliberates degrees upon candidates, either individually or all at once, even if graduates physically receive their diploma later at a smaller college or departmental ceremony. After degree completion, graduates can be referred to by their graduating year.

Early History

It was in the 12th century that graduation ceremonies for students date from the first universities in Europe. At that time, Latin was the language of scholarship. A universitas was a guild of masters (MAs) with a licence to teach. Degree and graduate come from gradus, meaning “step.”

The first step was admission to a bachelor’s degree. The second step was the master’s step, giving the graduate admission to the universitas and license to teach. The typical dress for graduation are gowns and hoods or hats adapted from the daily dress of university staff in the Middle Ages, which was in turn based on the attire worn by medieval clergy.

Where Did Graduation Caps and Gowns Come From?

In the 12th century, wearing of academic robes is a tradition, it was around the time when the first universities were being founded in Europe. During this time, most scholars were also clerics or aspiring clerics, and excess in clothing was not supported. As such, in the beginning it is thought that there was little difference between what the academics were wearing and the laymen, excepting that the academics and clergy tended to wear very plainly colored apparel.

Eventually, the apparel was simply basic. When the universities were originally formed, they had no official buildings of their own to hold lectures in, so classes were typically gathered in nearby churches. Their simple robes and outer covering served the purpose of keeping them warm in the airy medieval church buildings, and the hoods kept the weather off when they moved out of doors.

Importance of Graduation

Some people might ask, Are graduations really important?

A graduation is necessary because it is a rite of passage to so many people. A graduation is not just the end battle; it is a new start—the start of a new chapter in a person’s life whether it be another school year or the entry into finding and landing a job. Graduations help people reminisce the things achieved in the past, as well as helping people to look forward to the future.

Invitation Types

Apart from a graduation invitation, there are other types of invitation that are common all throughout. We’ve listed a couple for you below.

For Business Events

The business invitation letter is used to invite clients to a business-related event. It can be a super sale on the business’s services or products, an open house for a new office or store, or any other event that involves the business.

An interoffice business invitation letter is used to invite employees to a business-oriented happening such as the annual office party or a corporate management seminar. This type of invitation letters follows similar format as other business letters, with a formal salutation, the body of the letter, and a formal closing.

Digital Invitations

Nowadays, we send almost everything digitally. The same can be said for invitations. Digital invitations save resources such as paper and stamps and is a fast way to get a message across. These are generally helpful if you are planning last-minute events and you do not have time to mail the invitations or send them personally.

Handwritten Invitations

They are usually enough for small, private affairs where the guest list is under fifty. The best examples of this type include birthday celebrations, private receptions, and small dinner parties. This type of invitation takes extra time and commitment, so they are not best suited for larger parties. Write invitations on pretty pieces of stationery or plain white paper. Select a passage from a famous author or make up your own slogan to add as an introduction into the invite.

Wedding Invitations

Some celebrations require formal invitations, and a wedding is one of those times. Wedding invitations can be purchased in an array of colors, styles, and options. They vary in cost from the simple one to the outrageous depending on your choice of paper and design. Wedding invitations are sent through the mail, but they can be hand delivered. They include information on where and when the wedding and the reception will be held and include a note to RSVP.

Party Invitations

You will probably want to send out a party invitation if you are celebrating a birthday, graduation, or promotion. Party invitations can be expressed in many forms, and they can be sentimental and formal or humorous and cynical. Party invitations can also be handmade.

Do not forget to include when and where the location of the party is and provide contact details so your guests can RSVP. If you are planning your party well in advance, you may want to mail out your invitations; but if the party is just around the corner, consider hand delivering the party invitations.

Other Invitations

Other types of invitation letters include those that invite someone to do something such as a guest speaker at a meeting or engagement or accept employment or another type of offer.

These invitations are not possible if there is no planning made. Apart from the steps on how to make an invitation, there are people who choose to make them in a much easier yet spontaneous way. Templates are the best way to make invitations, and they do not consume much of your time with minimal effort.
