For the host sending it in the family chat
A forwarded picture gives a time and forgets the venue. A graduation e-invitation is a real page — ceremony details, the evening gathering, a reply button — that guests open on their phone and answer in two taps.
The usual graduation invite is an image someone drops into a chat: the graduate's name, a date, maybe a town. It looks festive and answers almost nothing. Guests still text to ask where exactly, whether it is the ceremony or the party, whether they can bring a partner, and how to reply. Multiply that across a scattered family and the invitation becomes an inbox.
An e-invitation is a page rather than a picture. It carries the full day in sections, stays current if anything moves, and gives each guest a proper way to answer — so the group chat stays quiet and the replies stack up somewhere you can actually read them.
A graduation day usually has more than one part, and families travelling need all of it in one place.
Where the degree is conferred, what time doors open, and whether guests can watch it or only the party. Family across towns want this spelled out before they plan a journey.
The dinner, barbecue, or open house that follows — its own venue, its own time, and a line about the travel between the hall and the table.
Addresses and directions live on the page so relatives arriving from out of town can navigate without calling you at the gate.
A clear yes button that lands on your list, plus room for a guest to note a companion or a dietary need while they answer.
Graduations move faster than the ink can keep up with, which is exactly where a live invitation earns its place.
You do not need a designer or a spreadsheet to run a graduation invitation. Start free, put the graduate's name, the ceremony, and the evening on a page, switch replies on, and send the single link into whichever chats are relevant. Everyone who opens it reads the same current facts and answers the same way, so you have a real headcount instead of a guess.
Because a graduation date and hall can still shift when the university confirms, the page stays something you edit until the day, not a card you committed to weeks ago. The link travels; you keep the last word.
How it works
Separate the ceremony from the evening on the page — name, time, venue, and the gap between them — so travelling family know exactly what they are confirming.
Add the reply button and a plus-one rule and a meal note. Guests answer in a couple of taps and the answer lands against their name.
Use the web app or message Jitabi on WhatsApp with the graduate, the date, and the venues; the e-invitation takes shape for you to edit.
Send the same page to family, friends, and email. Change anything later on the page, and every guest reads the current version.
Questions
A picture answers nothing. A page carries the ceremony time, the venue, the evening after, directions, and a reply button, and it stays correct if any of that moves. Guests find their own answers instead of messaging you.
Yes, and that is the usual graduation case. Give the ceremony and the evening their own sections with their own times and venues, plus one line on the travel between them, so guests see the whole day in order.
You edit the time on the page once, and every guest who opens the link afterward reads the corrected version. No reprint, no separate message explaining the change — which is precisely where graduations need it, since universities confirm times late.
No. They open the link on their phone, read the invitation, and tap to confirm in a couple of taps. Nothing to install, and no sign-up standing between a yes and your list.
You set whether guests may name a companion, within a limit you decide, and offer meal options if the evening is a sit-down meal. Each answer is recorded with their reply, so you read the full picture rather than chasing details.
Get Started
Replace the poster in the chat with a graduation e-invitation that carries the ceremony, the evening, and a real reply button. Guests open it, read the day, and confirm — and you get a number you can trust.
