Happy Friday! Who has a birthday in October? I am excited to be teaming up with Basic Invites. If you haven’t heard of them yet they are a site that allows you to customize cards for almost every major life moment. They are one of the few websites that offer customers instant previews with almost unlimited color options. It’s as simple as selecting a design you like and making changes to any element on the card to over 180 different color options to your liking. I have to say being able to be online and still change every little detail that I want to make it exactly the way I want it is pretty awesome!

You guys, not only can you make it how you want it, you can order the SAMPLE of your actual invitation to see exactly what type of paper it will be on and how everything will look printed before you go and order the full amount that you need. How great is that? They also have foil cards with your choice of either silver, gold or rose gold. You can choose to have the foil raised or flat on all Basic Invite’s foil designs.

Basic Invite also has over 40 different colors when it comes to their envelopes. So, if I am doing an October themed card and make the invites black I could make the envelope orange to have it stand out before they even open it up! Plus, how many people hate that they have to lick the envelopes to seal them…leaving that awful taste in your mouth. Basic Invites’ envelopes are all peel and seal, no post sour taste later.

Lastly, how stressed do you get when you make the list of everyone you want to invite to something and then realize you don’t have all of their addresses? Basic Invite offers an address capturing service that allows customers to share a link on any social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.) to request their friends and family’s addresses which is then stored in the customer’s online account. This way it is easy to select them during the designing process. They basically do all of the work for you!

Here are some examples of birthday invitations from customers in the past:
