The Things I Wish I Knew While Wedding Planning : Basic Invite- Fun Save the Dates
I have been married for almost 4 years now, and part of me still misses wedding planning, and then the other part of me doesn’t miss it at all. There are many things that during the process of all the wedding planning that I knew before hand. I loved my wedding invites, but I was unaware of all the different websites and options out there. I wish I would have known about Basic Invite. It might just be me, but I love being able to have an overall theme when it comes to planning an event such as a wedding. That is why I love Basic Invite, they have bridal shower invites, fun save the date cards as well as fun magnets for something different, and the wedding coasters and invites, all in the same themes. One of the best parts, is that they have almost unlimited colour options, now I know every bride-to-be and past brides will love this option. We all get a colour in our head that we absolutely fall in love with and then as soon as we need to start finding that colour in invites and bridesmaid dresses it almost seems impossible to find that colour anywhere!
Save the dates and the wedding invites were a fun thing to pick out. Along with all of those fun details comes a wedding website, because some of your guests will either be hard to track down for an address, and some people just simply are bad at keeping track of paper, so that’s when wedding websites come in handy, not to mention the RSVP’s online is so so handy. Saves on postage and just very simple to keep track of. With Basic Invite, they give you a free wedding website! Our all-new wedding websites are completely customizable just like our wedding invitations! The wedding websites are mobile friendly and super easy to use. You can instantly upload all of your wedding details along with images and a map with directions which is super convenient for your guests. Choose from 180 custom colors and even choose a design to match your wedding invitation, which again, I’m a huge fan of. Love that consistency in themes!
We are all now used to ordering online, that is for sure. But we can all agree that sometimes what it looks like online and when you physically get the item that you ordered it has the potential to look quite different. Basic Invite allows you to get custom samples of your wedding invite or save the date that you are looking at before you place your final order. That gives you the opportunity to get the perfect save the date without spending a ton of extra money. Takes a lot of the stress away of ordering a bulk order of wedding invites and then not like them once you receive them.
There are over 900+ wedding sets, basically you can order your save the dates, wedding invites, enclosure cards, wedding programs, wedding menus, and even thank you cards that are all the same design and theme. How incredible is that, not only can you stick with the theme, but you can save so much time on scrolling endlessly to find the perfect match. Maybe that was just me, but I probably wasted hours looking for the perfect matching combo because the websites I had used never had the set option, such a huge added bonus to be able to choose one of the 900+ sets!
When I am looking for a theme, I also tend to look for something just a bit different then what I normally see. If I was planning our wedding now I would definitely go for the beautiful clear save the dates that they have available now. They are so simple, but so beautiful and different from what I have seen and I think it is just a new and elegant way to do a save the date and wedding invites!
Last, but certainly not least, this might be my all time favourite feature, but they have a free address collecting option. Use the free address collection service to request your addresses with just three simple steps. Share a link, collect addresses, and get free envelope printing. How incredible, free address collecting plus free address printing, now that is a huge time saver! When it comes to wedding planning and time management, this is one area where cutting time and saving time on addressing every single envelope is so convenient.
Basic Invite has absolutely everything you need, so many unique and beautiful designs, plus they are all budget friendly. Everything you could possibly need and beyond is on Basic Invite! They also carry so many other lines as well, so this isn’t just for the brides-to-be, so check out everything they can do for you! Use code 15FF51 for 15% off your order. Enjoy and let me know if you have any other questions about Basic Invite or wedding planning, I would love to answer any questions you might have!
Happy Wedding Planning,
xoxo, Mara
