Choosing Your Wedding Stationary | Basic Invite | Custom Elegant Wedding Invitations + More
You have been planning and daydreaming about your 2020 wedding, more than likely since 2019, if not longer. But like many other couples in the midst of this pandemic, you have had to re-think your wedding day, possibly postponing or making it much smaller. Or you are a bride planning a 2021 wedding, and you might be considering a micro-wedding or even eloping just to save you potential future headaches as the event industry navigates how weddings will look in the coming months + years. Regardless of where you are at in this process, I wanted to share with you an online stationary company that I think many couples could benefit from, both now and in the future.
I came across Basic Invite* while looking for custom stationary options for couples who now need to send new wedding invitations, save the dates or who are looking for stationary like menu cards and name cards. Along with various stationary, they also offer free customizable wedding websites that keep all of your up-to-date info in one place for your guests. Which is insanely helpful, especially when postponing or changing your wedding layout.
Okay, so about these invites. If you are looking for custom invitations that will totally reflect your wedding day, then you will love Basic Invite. With over 1200 design templates, their elegant wedding invitation designs serve as a base for you to personalize. Unlike most online stationery companies that only offer a few color variations and a not so true to life preview, Basic Invite offers a wide range of colors. After you have found your favorite wedding invitation design, you can select from over 180 different color options, while previewing in real time. Ensuring your elegant wedding invitation suite is unique down to the tiniest detail. If you prefer to physically see your invitation design before making a decision, Basic Invite allows you to order printed samples. This way you can view the paper quality and colors before you place your final order.
Once you have the perfect wedding invitations, be sure to browse their envelope options too. With 40 different colors of envelopes, you can select a color that will make your totally unique and elegant wedding invitations stand out before your guests even open it! An invitation suite sets the tone for your entire wedding day, so don’t skip on incorporating your colors!
As mentioned before, Basic Invite offers more than just invitations. One of their other stationary products that jumped out at me, was the huge selection of customizable table name cards. Again just like with the rest of their stationary, these table name cards can be designed with over 180 colors. If you are planning a micro-wedding or small elopement, I love the intimate feel that individual name cards give to a long table filled with your closest family and friends. They bring warmth and an added layer to your tablescape design. Added bonus? You can have Basic Invite add your guests' names to your table name cards at no additional cost. Saving you time and stress from handwriting names!
One last point worth mentioning, as you know I strive to recommend and utilize companies that offer environmentally friendly options. So, I was thrilled to see that Basic Invites top two paper options are just that. The Signature Matte paper is elegant with a smooth texture and is FSC certified, being manufactured responsibly with reduced effect on the environment. But if you want to take it a step further, you will love the Smooth Coated paper that produces vibrant, rich colors while being FSC certified, and made from 50% recycled content (40% Pre-Consumer & 10% Post-Consumer).
I truly hope you find this site to be helpful during a time where your wedding plans might be changing and your budget may be shifting. With the help of Basic Invite*, you can still have beautiful wedding stationary that compliments your wedding day vision!
