Simply to Impress was founded in 2003 by Heather Hasse, a wife and mother who was on a mission to create innovative announcements and invitation designs to capture special moments in life. In addition to graduation and holiday cards, Simply to Impress has a range of options for party invitations, wedding announcements, business stationery, custom gift tags, journals, yard signs, banners, and much more.v

Over 1,000 graduation invitation options

There are over 1,010 graduation invitation cards to choose from on Simply to Impress' website. This is one of the biggest selections we've seen. The cards come in 12 different shapes, options for adding multiple photos, minimal styles with hardly any text or more detailed styles for you to add a lot of information. You'll probably want to use the filtering options to narrow down your choices since there are so many. You can sort the graduation invitations by gender, number of photos, card orientation, special features, greeting (invitation or announcement), shape, theme, and color.

Basic design functionality

Even after you've made a selection that fits your style, you can still make minor changes to the card. You can change the shape, foil color, card size (if there's an option to), paper type, and then upload your photos. What you won't be able to do is move text around, change the size of any graphics or text, or make changes that would alter the overall design of the card. You only get basic drag and drop functionalities, which could be a relief for some people who want an easy design process or a pain for others who want to add their own flair to the card.

Starting at $0.62 per card

If you sign up for emails and texts from Simply to Impress, you'll get a code for 35% off your order in addition to free shipping. That's a no-brainer when it comes to ordering something like graduation invitations in bulk. The least expensive options for invitations are advertised as low as $0.62 each, but you don't know all the pricing details unless you click on the card. Upgraded paper will add to the final cost. We wish that among the filtering features you were able to sort by price to make it easier to find something within your budget.

Flat-rate shipping

When you're ordering cards, there is a flat rate shipping fee of $8.75 for standard shipping that takes 2-5 days for delivery. For expedited 2-day shipping, you can pay $15, or overnight your cards for $25. If you're lucky, you'll be able to order from Simply to Impress during a time when they are running a free shipping promotion.

100% satisfaction guaranteed

Simply to Impress has a 100% satisfaction guarantee that states they'll work with you to make sure your order is perfect or you'll get your money back. Unless your order was damaged or defective due to an error made by Simply to Impress, you will be responsible for any necessary return shipping. If you're unhappy with your order, be sure to contact them within 30 days to work through the issue and possibly receive a refund.

Mixed reviews

Depending on where you read reviews from customers about Simply to Impress, there are mixed reports of people's experiences. While some say the prices, quality, and delivery is top notch, others say it's difficult to work with customer service if you run into issues. Some recent reports of words running on top of each other, receiving envelopes with a different customers' return address printed on them, and some unexpected delays are a few of the concerning things customers have dealt with over the last year. It appears that it's luck of the draw when it comes to the quality and reliability of Simply to Impress, so it might be a bit of a gamble purchasing graduation invitations here. They also don't have a Better Business Bureau profile. Because of this, they've earned an average rating from us.
