Amazing Online Resource Rec: Basic Invite

As you all know by now, I'm a huge fan of beautifully-designed custom invitations, announcements, holiday cards and stationary (obviously, since this is a service that Sara and I provide!), but I'm also highly aware that not everyone has the time or budget to get these kinds of paper goods custom-made by a designer.

So, this is why I thought you should know about an amazing new-to-me online resource that I've recently discovered: Basic Invite. 

Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows you to customize their gorgeous pre-made templates for printed party invitations, cards, and/or announcements using unlimited color options +  instant previews. Once you select a design from their site, you can change the color of each element on the card to over 180 different color options so that the card is exactly how you want it.

In the past, this has been one of my biggest complaints when it comes to pre-made card templates/designs online, as I like to match the colors used in the design to the colors in the featured photograph (or to colors that match the event's color scheme) and most online printers that I've come across don't make this possible. 

In my humble opinion, Basic Invite is the closest you can get to custom invitations without having to break the bank and actually order custom invitations. They've got beautiful cards for every occasion, including birthday invitations, shower + wedding invitations, holiday cards, and more. And for those who are about to celebrate a 1st birthday like we just did this past weekend, you should definitely check out their adorable first birthday invitations ;)  

Here are a few samples of their cards and templates:

So cute, right? There are MANY more designs where these come from, so check them out.

Oh, and Basic Invite also allows you to order a printed sample of your actual invitation before you place your entire order (another amazing feature that is hard to find!) and allows you to choose from over 40 different colors when choosing the envelope that goes with your card, which I love. 

Such a great internet find! Isn't it wonderful to find a new resource that you love + that makes life easier (and prettier)?
