For families spread across towns
The graduate has scattered the relatives across four towns and two countries. A digital graduation invitation lands in every group chat and inbox with the same details, and every reply shows up on one guest list you can read on your phone.
Printed grad cards are lovely and many families send them. But they carry a snapshot of the plan you knew when you printed them, and that plan rarely survives to the week itself. If the party moves, the card does not.
A digital invitation sidesteps that. The details live on a page, and the card, message, or post you send just points at it. Forward it to a new cousin next month and they read the current version, not the one from the print run.
That matters most when the family is scattered: the relatives you cannot drop a card round are exactly the ones who need a link they can open on the phone in their hand.
A single graduation link moves through the family the way news always has, only faster and without losing anything.
Different relatives want a different nudge. These cover the three messages you end up sending anyway.
Elena's graduation is on the 14th. Everything is on one page: ceremony at campus in the morning, party at ours in the evening, and a button to tell us if you can make it. Link here.
Aunt Beata, you weren't in the group so sending this direct. The page has the times and the address, and you can reply on it. It also shows the ceremony stream time if you'd rather watch from home.
Wojciech, all in one place so you don't have to ask me twice: the map pin, the start time, and the reply are on the page. Nothing has changed since I sent it.
However it reaches them, the invitation reads the same on a phone, which is where most people open it.
Both events on one page, with their own timings and venues, so nobody has to work out which message was the newer one.
Anyone navigating can tap through to the address without copying it out of a chat message and hoping they got it right.
One button to confirm, plus a place for meal notes, so the invitation is two-way rather than something read and filed.
How it works
Create the graduation invitation in the app, or text the details to Jitabi and let it build the draft. Check the wording, then publish.
Publishing gives you a live address. Send it to the family group, to individuals by SMS or email, and print it as a QR for the paper cards.
Every confirmation, from whichever relative found the link, lands on the same guest list, so the scattered family adds up to one number.
Because the link points at the page, you can reshare it any time without the risk of someone reading an old address off an outdated card.
Questions
Not if you send it warmly. You can still print the details on paper; the link just keeps them accurate behind the card. Many families do both, so the card is the keepsake and the page is the working copy.
They open the same live page as everyone else, with the current details and the reply button underneath. Nothing is lost or paraphrased on the way, which is the usual risk when one relative tells another the plan over the phone.
The page can hold a livestream link for the ceremony and a wishes wall for messages, so a relative in another town or country can watch and leave a note even if they cannot make the party.
No. You edit the page once and everyone who opens the link, including people you sent it to weeks ago, sees the updated details. The old version simply is not there to read any more.
A page built for phones reads cleanly: large text, one reply button, and directions they can tap. If someone would rather use paper, print the same invitation as a card and let the link sit quietly underneath.
