How Addie had the time to design her own conceptual, multipurpose graduation invite during her senior year is beyond me—maybe she should be the one sending out words of wisdom to people in the real world. Then again, that’s exactly what this invitation is already doing. Congratulations Addie!

Project Description
I wanted to make something to make my graduation announcements stand out among the rest of the fancy foil-stamped "classy" announcements. I went for something that showed my personality and could potentially make an impression on people.Production Lesson(s)
The last section is perforated and has a card with my contact information so people can keep in touch with me, and the other half is a 'words of wisdom' section that people can send back offering me any advice as I enter the real world! The responses should be both helpful and hilarious!
