This month was our five year wedding anniversary! I had a fun walk down memory lane going through wedding and engagement pictures when I found our wedding invitation. We had chosen a local business to help create it, and can I be honest? I did not like the way it turned out…and still don’t! It felt cluttered and complicated. (I like to think I’ve learned a bit more about design since haha!) I wish I had found something like Basic Invite to create something simple and beautiful for our wedding invitations. So when Basic Invite reached out to collaborate, I was all in!
This is a sponsored post. But as always, my opinions and review are my own. Please read my disclosure policy for more info.
A little background about Basic Invite. They are dedicated to creating the perfectly customized stationery for every event, and based in Saint George, Utah. They’ve been up and running since 2006.
One thing that I noticed immediately with Basic Invite is how easy they make everything. From weddings to holidays, and birth announcements to graduations—they pretty much cover it for every major life moment.
I particularly love what is offered for weddings! I’ve hosted quite a few bridal showers for friends, and being the youngest of five girls you could say I’m a professional envelope-stuffer.
Between the floral bridal shower invitations and free wedding websites, Basic Invite would have made my job much easier as a bride and a bridesmaid. So here are Five Reasons to Choose Basic Invite for Your Bridal Shower and Wedding Needs.
1. ALMOST UNLIMITED COLORS AND CUSTOM SAMPLES
This is one of the things that sets Basic Invite apart from other companies. It gives customers almost an unlimited color selection with instant previews online.
With over 180 different color options, that means you can change the color of each element on a card to get it exactly how you or the bride and groom want it.
Oh, did I mention that they also have over 40 different colors of envelopes? This way you can pair your unique bridal shower invitations or wedding invite with the perfect envelope to match. Also, all of the envelopes are peel and seal so the envelopes can be closed quickly and easily. Makes it easier for your envelope-stuffers!
To make sure you like the finished product and the colors you chose, Basic Invite will allow you to order a custom sample before placing your final order. How awesome is that?! I wish I had that option before I order probably over 300 wedding invitations…
2. THE FLORAL BRIDAL SHOWER INVITATIONS
After hosting several bridal showers, I fell in love with Basic Invite’s floral bridal shower invitations and unique bridal shower invitations! These invites are beautiful! Options range from sunflowers to succulents and watercolor to simple prints.
The floral designs are super cute and trendy. Plus, you can make it your own with the color selection.
And when I say Basic Invite makes things easy, I meant it. Customer service representatives will even help you design your invite. You simply have them review your order and stipulate what you’d like to modify.
Another major bonus is that many of the bridal shower invites have coordinating Thank You Cards. Which means less work for the bride.
3. NO MAXIMUM OR MINIMUM
This may seem trivial, but this is actually something I really love. You can order as many, or as little as you would like! There are no set packages you have to choose from. You set your needs, and Basic Invite will fill them.
When we ordered our wedding invites, we had to order them by the hundred. We ended up with quite a few left over. It would have been nice to have this option.
So, if you are sending out those cute unique bridal shower invitations you personally created just for a few close friends or you are inviting all your mom’s friends and dad’s long lost relatives to the wedding reception, Basic Invite has you covered.
4. FREE WEDDING WEBSITES
Wedding websites were just starting to be used when I got married, but I guess they are pretty common now. Basic Invite’s wedding websites are completely customizable and free.
There are loads of options to fit your style, wedding colors, and even invitations! Plus, they are mobile friendly and super easy to use. You can instantly upload all of your wedding details, along with images, and a convenient map with directions for your guests.
5. FREE ADDRESS COLLECTION SERVICE
Basic invite helps you collect the addresses for your guests easily and quickly.
After creating your account, you can share a link via social media, text, or email. No need to create a Facebook event or hunt down guests in person. You can then collect the addresses and even print for free.
See what I mean? So, easy! Between the color selection, custom samples, floral bridal shower invitations, no minimum or maximum when you order, and the free address collection service… Basic Invite is definitely a company to consider for your bridal shower and wedding needs.
