I am sending out invitations for my college graduation. Do I invite everyone to the actual graduation ceremony and also to the graduation party afterwards? How would I write that on an invitation?

You can be selective about who goes to what BUT it could get uncomfortable if its not as simple as family and friends go to the ceremony - family only to the celebration - which I am guessing not what you want.
Else people will find out and start wondering why they weren't invited to the party.
Its not a comparison really - sorry to bring you down:) - but at my Mum;'s funeral we just went around people after the service as people were obviously still milling around and asked them to come back for a drink and some food at my sisters. We invited family and those closest to us BUT can't see that really working in this instance.
SO - assuming you invite all to both.
CASUAL

In lieu of gifts please make a donation to
Please RSVP via email to xxxxxxx by and advise if you are able to attend both the Graduation and party or just the Graduation.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

Small party - perhaps the SMALL will get it across and some people won't feel so obligated to come to both.
The RSVP also allows people to make a choice
Charity thing is up to you - not sure if people give gifts for graduations in your country - if they do please have them give a donation to K9 and Friends, Duabi, UAE :) - my local pet shelter.
So hope that has helped.

nicely, except you have boundless stacks of money, you won't be able to ask everyone on your occasion. initiate via making a catalogue a million. initiate with a funds. How lots are you able to spend on the occasion? 2. Whom do you want to "quite" invite? family contributors? close acquaintances? 3. decide how lots the occasion might value according to individual. 4. What are the outcomes? you may might desire to "decrease" the occasion checklist. initiate with family contributors contributors who stay a procedures away and can't make it besides. Then, initiate reducing from there. 5. Your invite checklist might desire to contain those low value. some human beings will merely drop via to need you sturdy success and according to probability drop off a modern or card. they might want a drink or snack. what's incorrect with "commencement" as your subject matter? in case you want a greater complicated subject matter, which will 'consume' into your funds. those not invited will understand. tell them you're on a funds. you're inviting close acquaintances and family contributors. there'll in all probability be lots of different events to flow to and many nutrition and drink to flow around. yet another determination may well be to have a "varied" occasion. different grads can go into mutually to rejoice. combine components for a much bigger occasion at a corridor or church or something like that.

Include a separate, smaller invitation with the graduation invite for those you want to include in the afterparty.
