Show Your Patriotism with Patriotic Graduation Invitations Theme

Over the last couple years the patriotism in our country seems to have been renewed and this includes the young, the old, and everyone in between. If you are graduating from high school or college why not share your patriotism with others with a patriotic invitation theme? Why go drab when you can serve to inspire those that receive your invites? If you are graduating in the summer months you may very well inspire others to become patriotic or to enjoy their patriotism right before the Fourth of July. Of course, this is a great theme no matter what time of year you are graduating!

Your patriotic invitation theme can be as simple or as decorative as you would like it to be. You can add a simple flag on the front or on the interior, or you can get more decorative, adding stars and stripes, different colors and patterns, and more. There is really a lot that you can do with this theme and you can make it yours. Have fun with this theme by giving yourself permission to infuse it with your own sense of style.

If you would like the patriotic theme you can start by adding a waving Star Spangled Banner to the front of your invitation. This can be in color or it can be in black and white, whichever you prefer. Some like the color because it pops, but there is also something really nice about a black and white, which is classic and is understated, but somehow just as moving. Another thing that you can do is have stars and stripes very lightly making up the background of the invite cover.

The inside of the invitation is also a chance to get creative as you can again use the red, white, and blue theme. You can choose to add flags to the top and bottom of the text, you can have the banner lightly in the background of the text, or you can emboss an American flag on the blank, left hand side of the invite. This blank page is also a great place where you can include a quote of your own, or a historical American themed quote from a historical figure such as one of the presidents, etc. This is a great addition and can be food for thought for those that receive the invite.

Another great way to add the patriotic theme to your invitation is to create a tassel embellishment that is red, white, and blue, or you can choose to hang a charm from the tassel of the American flag, a star, or something of that nature. Another simple thing to do is add some themed confetti to the inside of your invites, or even enclose small American flags instead of tassels! Get creative with this theme and make your invites uniquely yours! If you let your creative juices flow you will find that you can keep this theme very classy yet very you, and even inspirational to others.
