It’s hard for me to believe that I graduated almost two years ago. Time has really flown by since then. Before my graduation day, I always thought I would feel emotional on my graduation day. However, there was so much planning to do, and so much to get done for the last days of school and for m graduation planning that I mostly just felt overwhelmed. I was amazed at how much planning went into the event. Not only did I have to worry about finishing up the school year, taking exams and making it across the stage without tripping, but I also had a slew of things to buy ahead of time. I had to buy my cap, rent a gown, get senior pictures taken, order graduation announcements, order open house invites, plan out the open house, and I was in yearbook, so we had to finish the yearbook before the end of the school year. I had a lot on my plate! To make things easier, I ordered most of my graduation and open house products from a company who the school set up to provide our gowns. They offered a package that included graduation invites, open house invites, a cap and gown, tassel, etc all in one. It was easy so I went with it. Looking back, I realize that I spent way more than I needed to. Sure, I had to order my cap and gown from there, but the announcements and invitations were way overpriced. Plus, the invites were really boring. They simply were in my school colors and included really basic text. I wish I had known about Tiny Prints, where you can order as many invites as you want at much more reasonable rates. Plus, tiny prints offers graduation announcements that can be personalized with senior pictures, making those senior pictures you paid an arm and a leg for, more justified ;). Plus, for many of the graduation announcements, you can order matching thank you cards at the same time and save on shipping. I love how tiny prints allows you to order exactly as many as you need. When I ordered, they came in amounts of 50. So if you need 105 announcements, you have to pay for 150. At tiny prints you can order in values of 5, so if you need 105, that’s all you have to order. Tiny prints graduation cards start as low as .59 a piece, and those are personalized with a photo!

Being able to order in increments of 5 is a real bonus. I always hated having lots of announcements left over.
