Last week I had a happy hour with one of my favorite ladies, Sam Parker Karn to talk about the Instagram game. We’ve known each other since before the dreaded IG algorithm was even a thing and over cocktails, we discussed our favs who are killing it on the ‘gram and how we could steal some tips. One thing we discussed heavily was branding, and if anyone knows how to brand their scroll it’s Sam. Which is how we got started talking about her recent wedding.
A huge Coachella fan, her and her hubs came up with the cutest wedding hashtag of #karnchella and their entire wedding was an ode to their cross-country love (FL -> CA) which trickled down into the invites and beautiful thank you notes they shared with their guests when the festivities came to an end.
Your wedding day is all about you, so that is why I feel so strongly that when/if (let’s say when and be positive!) I get married I know I’m absolutely headed to Basic Invite for all things wedding! Ok, what’s a single girl doing on a wedding website? I mean, no judging but we’ve all done it, right? Talked with our girlfriends over drinks about our future unborn kid’s names, (mine is Ainsleigh and if you take it I have blog-proof that this is mine) and what kind of wedding we will have and if we’ll do acrylic everything from invites to the chairs and more.
So, when I was just doing some Googling I came across Basic Invite and absolutely fell in love with the number of options, designs and more that allow you to make your wedding uniquely YOU (and your hubs to be!). Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. You guys, this is huge! When designing wedding invitations, you select a design and you can change the color of each element on the card to over 180 different color options. So, you can make sure the card is exactly how you want it – down to the littlest detail.
They are also one of the few websites that allow customers the ability to order a printed sample of their actual invitation so they can see exactly how it will print as well as the paper quality before they ever have to place their final order. I recently purchase cups from an online retailer who didn’t send me a proof of concept and then messed up the entire order. This ordeal left such a bad taste in my mouth so you know any company you gives you an INSTANT preview and samples is not messing around.
Basic Invite doesn’t just stop at invitations they will hook up their brides with a wedding page website so your guests can stay up to date on all things matrimony and part-ay.
These wedding websites are completely customizable just like their wedding invitations and are mobile friendly and super easy to use. You can instantly upload all of your wedding details along with images and a map with directions which is super convenient for your guests. Choose from 180 custom colors and even choose a design to match your wedding invitation suite! Guys, cross-branding is the way of the future, that and flying cars, but imagine that from your Save the Date to your website, customized coasters wedding favors, and thank you cards giving your family and friends that same matchy-matchy vibe? Be still my design-loving heart!
The options are limitless with Basic Invite, they even just rolled out a clear line that I’m borderline obsessing over along with really beautiful rose gold foil options. Thankfully, I don’t have to wait until I’m married to hit up these classic looks because Basic Invite also has business cards for any lady looking to class up the standard white card for networking events. I’m thinking that not only do I need a card for My Revamped Life but maybe Podcast Rewind needs a little card, too?
