Custom Wedding Invitations by Basic Invite - Raleigh North Carolina Photographer


Basic Invite is one of the few websites that actually allows their couples almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. They offer over 800 different design sets - once you select a design you can change the color of each element on the card to over 180 different color options and truly make it yours. They also offer over 40 different colors for your envelopes for the final touch. This way, you can make sure the invitation is exactly how you want it - down to the smallest detail. Your wedding is all about you and your invitations should show that. 

What I love most about Basic Invite is that you can order a printed sample of your actual invitation so you can see exactly how it will print and see the quality of the paper before you make your final decision and before placing an order for dozens of invites. Instead of just trusting the site and blindly ordering, you can hold and feel your invitations. It's just different to actually hold it in your hand!

When was the last time you actually had an address book, with the up to date information of all your loved ones? Yeah, I don't remember either. As the little cherry on top, Basic Invite has a free address collection service! Share a link, collect addresses, and get free envelope printing. It's that easy! 

Pick your theme, pick your colors, order proofs and collect addresses - all in one and done. Wedding Planning is stressful enough, solutions like that make it so much easier and take so much stress off of you. 

Are you not into colors, or do you love the minimalist movement? Just because you don't want to go crazy on design and color, doesn't mean you can't make a big impression on your guests. An up and coming trend right now that I am super into are clear invites - they also add an extra touch of luxury. Clear Wedding Invitations like the one below are super cool, different and just look super high end, while being super low key.
