Not-So-Basic Wedding Invitations with Basic Invite

If you read regularly, you know that over the last year I’ve been sharing bits and pieces of our wedding day. The last wedding related post I wrote revolved around our DIY save-the-dates and how much I enjoyed creating them. Actually, my very favourite part of the entire wedding planning process was designing and creating our stationary.

For brides like myself, there is a sense of enjoyment in handcrafting hundreds of invitations. For most brides, this is just an added stress – one that could be avoided by streamlining the whole process. I’ve teamed up Basic Invite to show you how they can help!

Basic Invite is a unique online stationary store that focuses on helping you design exactly what you want. They offer over 200 wedding invitation sets, all of which can be customized to fit your wedding perfectly. Once you pick and customize your invitations, you can find coordinating save the dates, enclosure cards, wedding menus, wedding programs, name cards, and even thank you cards.

 

One of my favourite features is that every little detail can be customized. With 180 different colour options and instant online previews, the possibilities are endless. If you’re looking for something special to set your stationary apart, they have an amazing new clear collection, have recently added rose gold to their foil line, and have introduced foil place cards.


After you’ve designed your invite, there are over 40 different colours of envelopes to choose from. The best part? The envelopes are peel and seal (aka, no licking!).


Just to top it all off, Basic Invite offers the coolest free address collection service. This works by allowing you to share a link, collect addresses, and get free envelope printing. I’m in love with this feature, as one of the most tedious tasks during wedding planning is collecting addresses.


Take a second to scroll through the sample wedding invitations below and you’ll see exactly how beautiful these invites are. 

 

 

 

 

 

During the process of designing my own wedding invitations, I tweaked and changed elements multiple times after seeing them printed. Beyond the amazing custom options, Basic Invite offers a fantastic feature that allows you to order a printed sample of your invitation before you order them all.

This is a huge deal, especially because paper quality can be so different in person than you perceive it online.

Oh, and just one more thing! Basic Invite also offers keepsake guest books. Just like all other stationary, these books are highly customizable and lay flat for a classy look. These books would be a beautiful addition to any entry table, allowing your guests to sign in and leave you their best wedding wishes.
