I made this invitation myself for our daughter's high school graduation party. Using free clip art and an Avery postcard template it couldn't be easier. I use their Gloss finish Postcards. Avery has a great website that can help with formatting when you purchase their products. You go on their site and download the templates. If you good on Publisher or Power Point, you could create your invite there and copy/paste it into the Avery template. Total cost for 75 invitations: Your time, computer ink, the postage and $17.99 on sale for the Avery postcards at Office Depot. I use Office Depot as the have a cash back Rewards program that issues you a gift card every quarter.
