Anything But Basic with Basic Invite
With Miles' 4th birthday just around the corner, I was on the hunt for nice invitations to use for his small birthday party. The Universe seemed to know exactly what I needed when it introduced me to Basic Invite, who produces beautiful, customizable invitations and announcements at affordable prices straight to you and your loved ones' doors. From Save-the-Dates to wedding invitations, baby shower invites to kids' birthday parties, Basic Invite has a large selection of cards to choose from that's sure to fit your special occasion just right! While this is a paid sponsorship, all of these opinions are of my own and set as an honest advertisement to you about these goods and services.
Basic Invite's expansive design selection is unlike any other I've seen before. I love how the color options run deep into the designs to where you can get as detailed as selecting the colors of your flowers in your wedding invitation to better suite your wedding's theme. They've got over 180 colors to choose from so you can get the look you're going for. Once you've got your design just how you like it, you can order a custom sample of your unique customized design in whatever paper option you choose to ensure your big event starts off on the right foot. Looking to jazz up your design? Swap out one of your colors for a choice of foil in gold, silver and rose gold. You can have that foil be raised or flat, too!
These paper types are so unique, as well. As someone who used to look and test lots of paper types as a job task, I'm so impressed with the quality and thickness of these cards. Once you've narrowed down your colors and text, you'll choose 1 of 4 corner styles. Personally, I love a square edge but found myself digging the bracket edge, as well, on this 25 Years Wedding Anniversary card. Your options are Signature Matte, Smooth Coated, Premium Shimmer, Luxe Velvet, and Double Thick Matte. The Luxe Velvet is so unique that it's hard to describe. It's so smooth and almost feels like it's got a waxy coat, but not it a bad way. I always opt for matte, texture cardstock. I've turned a new leaf. I'm now team Luxe Velvet all the way! You will never find a texture like that anywhere else. Your standard thick card isn't thin and flimsy like most other invitation companies. They make sure even the lowest thickness is still sturdy and of great quality for printing and vibrant colors.
And not to mention the fact that they have over 40 different colors to choose from for just your envelopes alone! You can match, compliment or contrast your invitations. Sending out dozens of baby announcement cards to your friends and family? Don't worry, all of their envelopes are peel and seal and can have your guest addresses printed for you. Did I mention the guest address addition is free? All you have to worry about is getting them to the post office! I got this amazing wedding invitation in 2 color sets and even in person I still can't design which one I love more. How brilliant is this design of being able to open the invitation (which doesn't require and envelope, by the way) and being able to tear off the RSVP and place it right in the mail! Also, I'm low key hoping the next baby in that family is a girl because I am obsessed with these baby girl birth announcements! How precious are they?!
For now, I deep diving into the kid's birthday invitations and falling in love with all the options. I feel like I'm finally finding a place that has my style of design but also my son's interests. He couldn't stop talking about this police card invitation to the point that I'm pretty sure he wants a totally different birthday theme now. They even have a blocks design for LEGO-themed birthdays and you can even change out the colors of all the blocks!
