Basic Invite – The Stationery Brand I Wish I Knew About Sooner

July 18, 2023 · In: Wedding Planning

If you’ve followed me here for a while, you’ll know I got married a little over 2 years ago – in May of 2021. Wedding planning can be stressful enough, and when we had to cancel our original wedding plans due to the pandemic, we were scrambling to replan an entire wedding in only a few months.

After finding a new venue and date, invitations were our top priority. Since we had limited time, we had to scramble and ended up settling on an overall generic invitation. That being said, I wish I would’ve known about Basic Invite sooner!

Basic Invite is the ultimate online destination for save the date cards, wedding invitations, and more! When we turned to the Internet to find our last minute wedding invitations, one of our biggest problems was finding the perfect colors for our color scheme. Basic Invite offers over 180 colors to choose from to help customize your perfect invitation – I’m sure they’ll have the perfect color for your perfect day! Plus, they have over 40 envelope color options, ensuring your guests have a cohesive opening experience from the time they pull the invite from their mailbox.

Another obstacle we faced when it came to wedding invitations was getting accurate addresses. Basic Invite offers address capturing services that will take one more task off of your list. Simply provide a link to your guests, they fill it out, and the addresses are synced directly into your Basic Invite account! When you’re ready to order your invites, allow Basic Invites to print your recipient’s address on your selected envelopes free of charge.

I’m so impressed with the variety of designs and options Basic Invite offers. So many of their designs are so luxe, like these clear invites pictured below.

You can click here to take a look at all of the wedding invitation templates Basic Invite has to offer. Sort by color, size, theme and so much more! If you aren’t in the market for wedding stationery, Basic Invite also offers event invitations, baby announcements, and other paper products. They truly have you covered for any stage of life that you are in.

Right now Basic Invite is offering 15% off your order with code 15FF51. If you’re in the need for some inspiration, feel free to check out Basic Invite on Instagram and Pinterest to get those creative juices flowing!

Thanks for reading!

xoxo

While this Christmas photo looks different than pl While this Christmas photo looks different than planned this year, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas surrounded by peace and love🫶🏼

My prayer is that next year brings the blessings we hoped and prayed for this year, whether those things are big or small.

I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @mo I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @morganjuliadesigns brand new Jersey City location on our way home from NYC🫶🏼 This only added about 20min to our trip which was well worth it!🪡 Such a beautiful shop with so many great canvases👏🏼

Some tidbits from our trip as a NYC first-timer🚕
 
We stayed at @omniberkshirenyc - overall we enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect (right in between 5th Ave & Madison Ave) and was a short walk to Rockefeller and Central Park. Only complaint is that the rooms were very hot (75*+). They also had valet parking that we utilized. We drove into the city and while time consuming it wasn’t as stressful/difficult as we had imagined. I’d certainly drive in again.

Our highlights were @therockettes and walking through Central Park. We walked everywhere with the exception of a boat ride we did. We booked a car through RideLux for that which I do not recommend, about equal service to Uber for 2x the price. 

The boat ride with Classic Harbor Line felt like it wasn’t worth the $100/pp price tag. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up close was neat, but that was about it. Also, if you get sea sick CHL is NOT for you! 

Shopping overall was underwhelming, but we did hit the classic FAO Schwarz which regardless of the long line this time of year was a must-do! We got there 10min before opening and only waited about 10min after opening to get in. 

As for dining we did some quick spots around the city including Springbone Kitchen - perfect for a fast casual but healthy meal - we did pick up and took it to our room! Ralph’s Coffee in UES was also on my must-do list and honestly it didn’t disappoint! I’ve been to the Paris and NYC locations now and both times it’s been delicious and the perfect drinking temperature, even if you do have to wait a bit. For dinner we got a same day reservation for BG at Bergdorf’s - the food and service were great and reasonably priced imo!

I’m so happy we got to experience NYC at Christmas as it’s been on my bucket list my entire life! I love a trip filled with firsts, since they’re what make lasting memories!✨

✨48hrs in NYC✨ Somehow at 27 I had still never ✨48hrs in NYC✨
Somehow at 27 I had still never been to NYC until now🌃 I’ve always dreamed of going to NYC as a little girl, especially at Christmas! Today dreams came true with a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see @therockettes and it did not disappoint👏🏼 I’ll be sharing more tidbits from my trip over the next few days🚕

*also brownie points to whoever can tell me where this iconic townhome is from😉*

30 hours at the most festive place on earth🏰🎄

We booked this trip after my miscarriage so we could get out of town, even just for a night, and embrace ourselves in holiday magic✨ While nothing will take away the pain and heartache, distractions help the days pass faster🤍

Next week we’re off to NYC for a few days full of firsts!🚕 Defintiely nervous but excited for this bucket list trip✅
