What is a Graduation Invitation Letter?
A graduation invitation letter is a formal document used to request the presence of another 
person at your graduation ceremony. Many Universities have graduation invitation cards printed that can be given to guests. This is usually the case when there are a limited number of guests permitted per graduating student.
Even when the number of guests are limited, it is sometimes necessary to send a cover letter along with the official invitation from the university. The letter gives more details to your guest and shows them how much their attendance means to you.
The Graduation invitation letter may also serve as the only invitation that you guest will receive if the university does not provide any. In general, a graduation invitation letter should be a mix between formal and informal. It should convey the seriousness of a graduation ceremony and the personal touch from the writer. It should also contain all the details such as Date, Venue and time.
