There are SO many things that go into wedding planning. From choosing your vendors to choosing your shoes, every detail is so well thought out and it’s every couple’s dream to have a wedding that is unique to them. One of the very first touch-points of a wedding actually happens MONTHS before the wedding even occurs, and that’s when the invitations reach the mailboxes of a couple’s guest list!

As a photographer, I’ve seen almost 100 different wedding stationery suites at this point, and it amazes me that every single couple has had a different invitation! There are so many decisions and variables to be made during the design or selection process, and what’s amazing is that there are some companies out there like Basic Invite that you can actually COMPLETELY customize to your wedding! Most invitation and stationery companies I’ve seen, unless they’re boutique designers, allow you to choose from the templates that they have for wedding invitations, save the dates, and envelopes, but when I stumbled upon Basic Invite, I was amazed at all the customization that you could do with their stationery and I knew it was something I had to share with my brides!!
So today, I want to share with you why I think Basic Invite is such an amazing company to work with for your wedding stationery!! There are just so many amazing options to make these invitations uniquely yours!!! So here are 7 reasons why I think they’re kinda super awesome.
- 180+ Different Color Options!!
For starters, Basic Invite offers almost unlimited colors. Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once you select a design you can change the color of EACH element on the card to over 180 different color options. (WHAT!!!) So, you can make sure the card is exactly how you want it – down to the littlest detail. This is amazing for the brides who have a very specific color palette they’re trying to match! You can match nearly any color, from an accents in your bouquet to your bridesmaids dress color, you can literally choose the colors of every piece of your invitation suite! As a previous design major and a lover of color, I just think this is amazing!
- Custom Samples
Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers the ability to order a printed sample of their actual invitation so they can see exactly how it will print as well as the paper quality before they ever have to place their final order. I don’t know about my brides, but I’m personally a super visual person, and seeing things on the computer just doesn’t always do it for me, so this is a really awesome perk in my eyes. You can get a sample, see how the colors match with the rest of your wedding palette, and make any adjustments you need before placing our final order! So cool!
- Over 40 Different Colors of Envelopes
Okay seriously?! 40!! Basic Invite is just as colorful with their envelopes as they are with their invitations. (Well, almost!) You can choose from over 40 different colors when it comes to picking your envelopes so that you can make your invitation stand out even before it is opened. All of their envelopes are peel and seal so the envelopes can be quickly and securely closed. (Which I just think is way cooler than licking a bunch of envelopes… cause ummm, have you seen Seinfeld? Pretty sure she died from licking too many wedding envelopes. Just kidding, sorta.

- Over 800 Wedding Invitation Sets (WOW).
Holy cow. Did you see that number? 800. PLUS. Each of their wedding invitations are part of a set, which makes the entire process so much easier!! You can find everything from save the dates to wedding invitations and enclosure cards, wedding menus, wedding programs and even matching thank you cards! Everything can match and be on “brand” with your wedding design!
- Free Address Collection Service
Ya know, I always wondered how my brides kept track of all the addresses for their guests, and I assumed I’d figure this out when the time came but I guess now I know at least one way to do it!! Basic Invite has a free address collection service to request your addresses with just three simple steps. Share a link, collect addresses, and get free envelope printing. So simple!
- Keepsake Guest Books
So, I kinda couldn’t believe they had this option in their service offers and I love that they d because I know so many of my couples love having a guest book!! These are perfectly personalized wedding guest books and are the perfect addition to your wedding day stationery. These customizable guest books have a ring hidden inside which allows them to lay perfectly flat for a classy and convenient look. With sophisticated designed pages, it’s the perfect opportunity for your wedding guests to leave sweet words and well wishes, and for you to remember all the wonderful people who shared in your celebration!
- 100% Free Wedding Websites
No restrictions, perfectly matched stationery, and color customization! Basic Invite, in my opinion, has the best free wedding websites and is one of their must-use features! These are 100% free and super easy to use. They have a sleek single page design and customization options. It will only take minutes to create and your matching wedding suite makes for the perfect detail! As a detail oriented and creative person, I kinda love this A LOT because personally, I’d want everything to match so the fact that my invitations have the option to match my wedding website is pretty amazing!
