Tips for choosing a name
Include the year (Class of 2026) — it's sentimental and helps with searchability.
Say it out loud. Does it feel like something worth celebrating? That's your answer.
Test the name on 3–5 people: parents, siblings, and friends of the graduate. If they smile, you've got a winner.
Avoid overly long names — they get cut off in group chats and invitations.
Names that hint at the vibe (garden, dinner, bash) help guests dress and prepare correctly.
A name that feels personal to your grad (their humour, their journey) will get more genuine RSVPs.
