Why you need Graduation Cards with Photo Insert for your Invites & Announcements

Your graduate is unique. They are one-of-a-kind. So why get them boring old, run-of-the-mill graduation announcements? No, they deserve something something special, something classic.

Don’t make the design the reason people fawn over your kid. Make your kid’s photo the reason they fawn over them. How? With graduation photo insert cards.

In case you’ve never seen (or heard of) photo insert graduation cards, here’s what they are: photo insert cards are a blank 5″ x 7″ photo card with window frame on the front cover so you can slip in a 4″ x 6″ printed photograph. This video shows you how to use them:

Why are photo insert cards better than printed invitations or announcements?

Printed photo cards have their place and are a great greeting card alternative. But graduation—whether it’s high school, university, or pre-school—deserves something classic, something a bit more upscale. Here’s what you get with graduation announcement cards with photo insert:

  • Use whatever photo you want. Shoot, use a different photo for each recipient!
  • Recipients can keep the photo—undamaged—after the ceremony or party. Photos simply slide under the window frame border. No glue or tape needed, and no extra design on the photo of your proud graduate.
  • Order blank or personalized. Handwrite the message yourself or we’ll add an imprint in classic, metallic foil.
  • One card, many uses. Not just for announcement and invites, these also work beautifully as graduation photo insert thank you cards.
  • You can frame them! Think of these cards as cheap graduation photo mats for frames. The card measures 5″ x 7″, so it provides a thin border around the photo. So go ahead, frame the whole card.

How to turn a blank photo insert card into graduation announcements

First, start by choosing a color. Standard white or black? Or perhaps a classic navy or forest green. Or maybe they want the eco-vibe and you can go with the classic recycled kraft card.

Second, decide whether you want blank or personalized graduation announcement cards. The benefit of blank cards is that you can make some truly DIY graduation photo cards by adding stamps, stickers, or doodle some artwork on there. Don’t want to go the DIY route? Blank graduation photo card announcements also look great as-is with nothing but a heartfelt note written inside.

The benefit of personalized cards is that a foil stamped imprint gives your photo cards a classic, timeless look.
