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.
