Finding the Perfect Save the Dates for Your Portland Wedding
After you’ve celebrated your engagement and shared a few million ring selfies, it’s time to start wedding planning! One of the first big introductions to your wedding day that guests receive are your save the dates. It’s so important to find the perfect save the dates for your wedding day, which is why I’m so excited to be partnering with Basic Invite. They are an amazing, super easy to use company for all your wedding stationery needs. Take a look!
My Personal Experience
Because I would never try to recommend something to you that I didn’t personally know about/try out- I did a little sample order to see what all the hype was about. And let me tell you, it lived up to the hype! Not only was the ordering process SUPER easy (as easy as choosing your favorite design, uploading your images, and adding in personalized text), but the shipping was fast too! Bonus points! The customer service from my order until the follow up after my samples arrived was so thoughtful. And when I actually RECEIVED the samples, I was blown away. The packaging was equally fun and thoughtful and everything was so visually appealing and easy to understand what the next steps in ordering more invitations would be. With my samples I wanted to check out a variety of paper types, foil colors, and their postcard wedding save the date cards- check them out below!
Free Wedding Websites
A wedding website is so helpful to have for your guests. Instead of being bombarded by messages with questions about your day, you can have all the information in one easy location. Basic Invite has free wedding websites that are completely customizable! They’re mobile friendly and super easy to use. You can instantly upload all of your wedding details, along with images, and a convenient map with directions for your guests. Choose from 180 custom colors, and a design suite to match your wedding invitations!
Almost Unlimited Colors
No matter what your color palette, Basic Invite has you covered. Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. You can change the color of each element on a card, with over 180 different color options. The card can be exactly how you want it, down to the littlest detail. No more guessing and ordering samples in every color!
Custom Samples
Basic Invite allows customers the ability to order a printed sample of their invitation so they can see the card’s paper quality and how it will print before they have to place their final order. This is SO helpful to really envision what your suite will look like. Most other online stationery companies send you samples with pre-written sample information, but Basic Invite will send you exactly what it looks like. So convenient!
Over 40 Different Colors of Envelopes
Say goodbye to plain white envelopes! You can choose from over 40 different envelope colors so that you can make your invitation stand out even before it is opened. All of their envelopes are even peel and seal so the envelopes can be closed quickly and easily. No more paper cut tongues!
Over 900 Wedding Invitation Sets
Another great thing about Basic Invite is their cohesive sets. Every wedding invitation is part of a set. They have all the wedding stationery you need, like save the dates, wedding invitations, enclosure cards, wedding menus, wedding programs, and even matching thank you cards! You can keep every part of your wedding stationery cohesive and clean.
Free Address Collection Service
One of the worst parts of the wedding planning process is collecting addresses. It seems like it never ends! But never fear, Basic Invite is here. You can use their free address collection service to request your addresses with just three simple steps. Share a link via social media or email, collect addresses, and get free envelope printing. Easy peasy!
Seal & Send Wedding Invitations
Last but not least, we have to talk about their new seal and send wedding invitations. Basic Invite seal and send wedding invitations are an all-in-one wedding invitation with a tear-off RSVP postcard included! They offer them in over 30 designs including foil options, and, like their other products, they are customizable. What’s special about our Seal & Sends is that guest’s addresses are printed on the front of each invitation so no envelope is necessary! All you have to do is share a link, collect guest addresses, and upload them onto your design. Once you receive your order all you have to do is add postage, fold your invites, and secure them with a sticker! Simple and easy.
As a wedding photographer, it’s so important to me to be able to share the best resources for my couples. I’m so glad I got to work with Basic Invite and share a bit about their services with you! Make sure to check them out on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest. AND for my couples starting the planning process and needing a little help with organization, check out this FREE wedding planning PDF guide that they offer. I downloaded one for myself! (well actually, for my soon-to-be-married friend Taylor- pictured in the samples below.)
