How to Find the Perfect Invite For All of Life's Occasions

Basic Invite is a stationery company that matches my thoughts on basic human interaction. In an age where many of us can do practically anything from our smart phones, I find myself making a purported effort to connect with friends and family personally. I still find a handwritten card or letter to be preferable to a text or an email when I want to communicate something thoughtful. All of our birthday invitations, greeting cards, and thank you notes are personalized as a reflection of our family’s unique personality, a trend our family and friends have come to expect.

Some of life’s most important milestones are often announced through greetings and invitations. Whether you’re announcing an engagement, celebrating a graduation, or announcing the birth of a new baby, a customized invitation or announcement is the first step to planning a celebration and helps to build excitement and anticipation. Your celebration is unique and every aspect of it, including the invitation, announcement and/or greeting should be momentous. Enter Basic Invite.

Basic Invite. Anything But.

In just a short time, my daughter will celebrate her 7th birthday. Like many school-aged girls, she has a very specific idea regarding the look of her birthday party invitations. Together, her and I began customizing invitations with Basic Invite. What’s unique about the site, which offers perfectly customized stationery, is that they have unlimited color combinations, custom samples, and over 40 different color peel and seal envelopes.

After browsing the birthday invitations, we finally decided on the Embellished Circle Birthday Invitation. In addition to changing the entire wording of the invitation, we were able to customize the paper (Signature Matte and Smooth Coated are included at no extra cost), card shape, font, colors (over 160 to choose from), patterns and envelope (including the color and liner).

I love the ability to see the changes I’ve made and what my invitation will look like with the instant preview function. Once everything looked exactly how I wanted it, I had the option of ordering a sample in their Custom Matte card stock. With Basic Invite’s Love It Guarantee, they will reprint your order for free or return your items for a full refund if you are not completely satisfied with your custom invitations.

The price of custom invitations is determined by the quantity, and an order of 30 invitations in this style is $1.60 each. Basic Invite’s prices for customized invitations are competitive and the company will even price match!

Basic Invite has Basically Everything

Whether you’re planning a birthday party or surprising your best friend with a baby shower, Basic Invite can help make all of life’s moments memorable. See their entire selection of custom invitations, announcements and stationery on the Basic Invite website.
