Images: Basic Invite
Back when I was planning my wedding, the invitation scene was glum. There were no online options and the designers I knew of made invites/styles that did not fit our wedding’s aesthetic. We were set on making them ourselves, but MAN I wish there were options like the ones that exist today! We had to piece-meal ours together with invites from one source, colorful envelopes from another, card stock from a third, and then DIYed some ribbon on top. This took work – and TIME, time I know not every couple has. So enter Basic Invite.
Basic Invite is an online shop where couples can beautifully customize their wedding invitations, save the dates, wedding shower invitations, birth announcements, and more! What really got me about this company though was the number of color options available – over 160 different colors. Basic Invite calls is “almost unlimited” and it’s true – once you select a design from their site, you can change the color of each element on the cards (with instant previews online to see how it looks), which gives you much more of a custom feel.
If you’ve seen my house you know I LOVE color, and our wedding was no exception as we used hot pink throughout our design and decor. Finding the right shade of hot pink from all the different places we sourced was a challenge though (the pink envelopes were more raspberry and the font on the invites was more fuchsia). It would have been awesome to have something like Basic Invite around back then where I could have designed my whole suite with the same shade of pink.
The envelopes are just as colorful too – with over 40 color options there. And the peel and seal closings help save your tongues from having to lick 50+ envelopes shut.
Basic Invite provides custom samples for their customers – which allows you to print 1 invitation set before you have to print 200. That way you can see exactly how the invitation suite will come together, before you place that larger order! Their “Love It Guarantee” also ensures you won’t be left with hundreds of incorrect or poorly printed invites. I’ve printed Holiday cards at other big box printing places before and had issues with random smudges and streaks through some of the cards — not cool.
With over 200 wedding invite sets to chose from, you are sure to find one that matches the vibe & design of your wedding. And the sets include EVERYTHING: invites, enclosure cards, even menus and programs, all keeping your wedding paper products consistent.
While you know we love our local DC designers, it’s nice to have online options too and if not for your wedding invitations, I’ll certainly be checking them out for future birthday & life even announcements. You can find them on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter too! Hopefully you guys found this as useful as I did!
