It’s almost May and that means it’s graduation season! With my own 2024 graduate this year, I have definitely paid more attention than ever. Every store has their own section with black, gold, and silver décor, ready to celebrate the upcoming seniors’ big accomplishment.
While the graduation supply list is long, there’s nothing more important than the invitation and announcement. I don’t know about other moms, but I began looking for our invitation and announcement shortly after the start of the new school year. I knew I didn’t want cards from a big box store. Our card needed to be unique and represent my son’s personality. That can be difficult when shopping from large chains where so many others are shopping.
The key to finding our perfect card was to find a company that offered customization options. I looked at company after company and there are a lot of great ones out there. But I struggled to find the customization I wanted with a price point I was happy with. That’s when I found Basic Invite.
The first thing I noticed was the variety of templates. There were so many to choose from and the designs were really nice! Once I chose one I really liked, I began to realize all of the customization options they offered. Over one hundred eight colors! And not just for text, graphic colors can be changed as well. Plus any of the elements could be moved.
But I think my favorite thing about Basic Invite was being able to purchase a sample card. I think this is especially helpful for the different paper types, and if you wanted, you could order a sample in each paper. I’m tactile like that! I find online purchases like these difficult because I don’t want to commit without knowing the quality of the product. Purchasing samples is a great fix to that problem.
Aside from customization being important to me, I also needed a company with a price point that fit in our budget. Most companies with high levels of customization come with high price tags, which is understandable. But I was so pleased to find a company that offered lots of custom options with amazing prices!
A few other notable options they offer are foil cards and these are beautiful. Especially if you choose raised foil! And envelopes for your custom cards are included. But the coolest thing they offer is a service for collecting addresses from your family and friends. With a provided link to share on social media or through email, your guests can input their own address which is stored in your account. Then, when it’s time to print, Basic Invite can address all your envelopes for you. That’s a huge load off!
As you’re planning for your graduating senior’s big day, keep Basic Invite in mind for your invitations and announcements. We found a beautiful card we loved, saved money, AND time. Two thumbs up from this mama! Oh, and right now Basic Invite is offering 15% off with coupon code: 15FF51 so you can save even more!
