When Basic Invite contacted me about a sponsored a post, I was excited to try designing my own custom party invitations and cards with them.
First, though, I had to double check that Basic Invite wasn’t just a wedding invitation company. After all, that ship has sailed, hopefully for the only time.
Second, I wanted to make sure they didn’t specialize in baby shower invitations either. That ship has also sailed.
Thankfully, Basic Invite has a card for almost any occasion, including birthdays, graduations, holidays and more.
(If only I had known about Basic Invite when my daughter was in kindergarten and I had to throw her that birthday party about rocks. Yes, rocks.)
Here’s what sets Basic Invite apart from other stationery sites out there:
- Almost unlimited colors. Is the color scheme for your daughter’s Moana party bisque and jade? Well, those are just two of the 180 different color options you can choose from to make sure your card is exactly how you want it.
- Over 40 colors of envelopes to make your invitations pop. Plus, all of their envelopes are peel and seal. I love that.
- Free address collection service and envelope printing. That’s right, you can use their free address collection service to share a link and collect addresses. Then, just sit back and enjoy free envelope printing.
- Custom Samples. Basic Invite offers custom samples so you can see exactly how your invitation will print. Very few stationery sites do that, by that way.
I was provided with six free samples to try Basic Invite. I customized kids birthday invitations, a fall picnic that I dream about having one day, and family Christmas cards. Here are my honest-to-goodness thoughts while customizing:
- Woa, I actually chose the color of the dots on the birthday party invitation. Six different colors!
- Ooo! Colored envelopes. I’m getting woodsy (okay, brown) envelopes to coordinate with the outdoor picture I used on the Christmas cards.
- This is a lot like creating photo books. So many options! I could keep going and going.
Now check out this collage of my samples:
I can definitely vouch for their quality. The invitations and cards are top-notch, from the fonts, to the designs, to the feel and weight of the paper used.
So the next time you want quality, customizable kids party invitations or custom party invitations, check out Basic Invite.
And, if you are having a really amazing party, send an invite my way!
So great that you included the photos of the finished results, Katy. Very impressive. I love how different they are from each other. And they seal the deal for me on your compelling arguments, Looking forward to seeing which invite you send me …

The invitation and cards look really nice, I love the fact that you can choose from endless options of colour #Globalblogging
Yes! I wasn’t kidding when I said you can make your Moana invites jade and bisque. Those are actual color selections. 🙂
This sounds a perfect way to get invitations printed and so easy. Thanks for linking to #GlobalBlogging.
I’ve used various photo sites for years and even I was impressed with Basic Invite.
Your ‘that ship has sailed’ comments made me giggle Katie! What a lovely idea these are. Thanks for sharing with us at #TweensTeensBeyond
I’m always going for the laugh, Nicky! Glad I hit the mark. :_

As part of my blogging journey, I have suddenly got in touch with my creative side. Better late than never I suppose! As a result, these really appeal to me, they look fab and I love the idea of putting something of myself into the invites. Great idea. Thanks so much for joining us at #tweensteensbeyond
These personalised invites are such a great idea and so cost effective too. Quality is always a big thing for me and it is good that they you can vouch for this too. All this aside it seems there are many other perks and I like the idea of the address collection service and printing. Ticks all my boxes. Thanks for sharing Katy. Hope to see you next week. #TweensTeensBeyond
