For the invitation itself
Send the invitation as a page rather than a paragraph: the graduate's name and honours, the ceremony location, the party that follows, and a reply button. Confirmations gather on one list while you set the tables.
A good graduation invitation quietly answers a handful of questions before they are asked. Who is being celebrated, what the ceremony is, where the party is, and how to say you are coming. Leave any of those out and you will get the phone call instead.
Written on a page, those answers have a natural order: the graduate's name and honours up top, the ceremony details, the party after that, and the reply button within easy reach on a phone.
Because graduation is a fully supported event type, the invitation designs are built around exactly this information rather than a generic layout you have to reshape.
The point of an invitation page is that a guest can do something useful with it. A reply button turns a read message into a number you can plan around.
Printed cards still matter for a graduation. The trick is pairing them with a link that stays right.
The card carries the graduate's name, the date, and a QR code that opens the page. It is the keepsake; it does not have to hold every detail.
The page behind the QR holds the ceremony, the party, the dress note, and the reply. Update it any time; the card keeps pointing at the newest version.
The card you printed stays correct because the details live on the page. The venue or the time changes there once, and the next guest to scan sees the fix.
Three tones for the same invitation. Keep the essentials the same and let the voice change.

How it works
Start a graduation page in the app, or describe it to Jitabi and let Clara help shape the wording. Lead with the graduate's name and honours, then the ceremony.
Set the party as its own section with the address and timing, and turn on RSVP so a reply button sits under the invitation.
Publish to get a live link, then place that link as a QR on the cards you print. The card and the page stay connected.
Replies collect on one guest list as they come in, so you are setting tables against real numbers, not only the people who texted back.
Questions
No. A guest opens the link, taps the reply button, and confirms. There is nothing to install and no sign-up in the way, which is why more people bother to answer than if you asked them to email you.
Yes, and many families do. The card carries the graduate's name and a QR code; the page behind it holds the details and the reply. Because the card points at the link, a late change lives on the page, not on paper you have already printed.
Put the name, the course, and the honour in the opening section of the invitation. Graduation designs give room for exactly that, so it reads as a celebration of the achievement rather than a line you squeezed in.
You set whether plus-ones are allowed and up to how many, within limits you choose. The guest list then shows the real seat count, so an extra pair of names does not surprise the caterer.
No. Until you publish, the page is a draft that guests cannot open. Publish once the wording and the details are final, then share the link.
