Baby Shower Invitations Made Easy

January 25, 2019 · In: Gift Giving, Lifestyle

This post is sponsored by Basic Invite but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Are you a party planner or love to host parties for friends and family? Party planning and hosting can be so much fun when you have all the essentials on hand. As for the invitations, Basic Invite is where it is at.

Planning a Baby Shower.

As a mother and a friend/sister of other expecting mothers, baby shower planning can be so much fun. Celebrating the arrival of those bundle of joys couldn’t be more exciting. From gender reveals to basic baby showers, they all require some planning. The first thing to do when planning a shower is getting that guest list. Without a guest list, planning will be pretty difficult to say the least.

How to get that guest list?

One of the easiest ways to get that guest list going is by first asking the expecting mother who all she would want to invite to her baby shower. She may have names of individuals who you never would have thought about adding to the guest list. From there, obtain those addresses the best way possible. If you cannot get the addresses from the expecting mother or individuals themselves, White Pages will become your best friend or leave it to Basic Invite.

Deciding on Invitations.

You now have that guest list under wraps and need to start thinking about invitations. The first step before ordering invitations is picking a date. It is best to plan a baby shower at least 1-2 months before the arrival of the little one. This will give the expecting mother ample time to get all those baby gifts organized, washed, and before the new baby arrives.

Once the date has been selected, a theme needs to be decided. The theme should be based around what the expecting mother loves as well as if the gender of the baby is known. If you still can’t pinpoint a theme, take a peek at all the invitation offers at Basic Invite to see if there is one that catches your eye. You can then use that invitation theme as the overall baby shower theme. To be honest, this is sometimes one of the easiest ways to decide on a party theme.

At Basic Invite, there are so many different themes when it comes to their invitations. I love that you can even go as far as to choose different color schemes to make the invitations even more personalized! Here are all those reasons why Basic Invite makes printed baby shower invitations made easy.

Basic Invite: personalized invitation at its best.

Almost Unlimited Colors

Basic Invite is one of the few websites that actually allow customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once a design is selected, you can change the color of each element on the card to over 180 different color options. This takes the basic invitation to the next level of personalizing!

Custom Samples 

Basic Invite not only allow for instant previews online, but also give each costumer the ability to order samples before buying in bulk.

Over 40 Different Colors of Envelopes

Did I mention about the envelopes? You can even personalize the invitation envelopes by choosing from over 40 different colors! All of the envelopes are peel and seal, closing them securely and quickly.

Address Capturing Service

So, retrieving all those addresses feels a bit of a burden? Well Basic Invite offers an address capturing service that allows costumers to simply share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other form of social media to request their friends and family’s addresses that will be then stored in the costumer’s account. These addressed can be selected during the design process.

Now that is invitation addressing made easy!

Foil Option

Lastly but not the least, Basic Invite offers foil cards. These foil cards are available in gold, silver, and rose gold.

Basic Invite: printed baby shower invitations

What about those baby shower themes again? Lets talk about all those great options when it comes to the themes of the baby shower invitations. Basic Invite carries printed baby shower invitations that range from gender specific to a simple, classic theme.

These invitations are not only cute and made of great quality, but they are also cheap baby shower invitations. I love the fact that you are not only getting exactly what you order but at an affordable price. Take a look at these country baby shower invitations. There is also the option of ordering a fun game to match the theme of the invitation!

What about those thank you notes? You can even order those along with the invitations so that they will match the theme as well! The options are endless with Basic Invite.
