This post is in partnership with Basic Invite
I can’t believe Jadyn is starting preschool in just a few days and I also can’t believe I have signed on to be one of the room parents, all while working full time. But, that means I have an excuse to send out actual invitations for Jadyn’s birthday in January and notes to new mom friends for play dates.
Enter Basic Invite. True to their tagline “boutique quality, everyday prices,” Basic Invite now has a permanent place in my Bookmarks Bar in my browser.

What I love about Basic Invite is that there are unlimited colors with instant previews online. When I was designing my personalized stationery, I was able to see the exact color instantly. As you can see, I designed these to be on par with my Made To Mommy motif! Whether it’s personalized stationery, birthday invitations, bridal shower or wedding invites, with over 180 different color options and instant design previews, this site caters to us perfectionists.
A one-stop-shop for invites of any type, Basic Invite also sends out custom samples so you can see how your invitation will print and the type of paper quality they have. I’m impressed with the quality; what you see in the preview online is pretty spot on to what you get on paper and the paper quality is great, too. While I was designing my stationery, I had over 40 envelope colors to choose from. I was debating between a rose pink but ended up going with the classic white because it goes with everything.
In hindsight, I wish I had used Basic Invite for my bridal shower, wedding invitations and my baby shower invites. There’s over 1000 wedding invitation sets so everything is within your theme from the invites themselves to menus, programs and thank you cards. Even the wedding website would match (and they have an RSVP feature so you don’t have to include RSVP cards)!

Whether you’re post-baby wedding planning, helping your bestie plan a baby shower or gearing up for your little’s first birthday, Basic Invite is such a great tool, experience and resource.
