5 Occasions to Celebrate with Basic Invite Products
 !important)
With so many ways to virtually connect, some of the treasures of communicating in the past are starting to fade away. Even though I see your baby pictures posted on Facebook, it's not the same as receiving a personalized birth announcement. When you have something to celebrate, do it right with beautiful products from Basic Invite.
Babies
Babies are just about the best thing to celebrate! They need so much gear, and it is just really fun to come together and help welcome new babies into the world. With Basic Invite, you can totally customize the colors of your invitation to match the color scheme of your party or the nursery.

My absolute favorite piece of mail to receive are birth announcements. I do have a thing for babies. They are just so precious. My kids love looking back at the announcements I sent out when they were born. It's not only a great way to get the word out, but also a keepsake for the rest of their lives.
I love all of the unique elements and designs that you can choose from. They really become a piece of art—a gift for all of your family and friends.
Holidays
Our family loves hearing from friends and relatives during the holidays. I love this design that features more than just a beautiful picture of your family. Even though you might keep up with people on social media, sharing a gift of memories is valuable over the holidays.
Graduations
I just helped my niece with her graduation invitation this past spring! It is such a huge accomplishment that it needs to be shouted to the rooftops! I love this idea of combining a picture from starting and ending school. Again, since everything can be adjusted to fit your color scheme, you can really make your announcements look great.

Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows 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.
Thank Yous
A personalized thank you note definitely communicates sincere gratitude to the giver. I love the idea of helping my kids create some custom thank yous to send. You can even order just one of your designs, and they're a great price for a greeting card!
Weddings
My husband and I married young—I was 20 and he was 22—and with our son turning 17 next month, we're not that far away from the next stage of life: weddings. There are so many creative and beautiful options for all events surrounding weddings. I love these clear invitations. They are so unique and elegant!
With over 40 Different Colors of Envelopes, Basic Invite is just as colorful with their envelopes. You can make your invitation stand out even before it is opened. All of the envelopes are peel and seal so the envelopes can be quickly and securely closed.
If you're not excited about addressing envelopes, take advantage of their free address collection service with just three simple steps. Share a link, collect addresses, and get free envelope printing.
It's so tempting to just communicate through all of the social and virtual options out there, but there are some occasions that are so special that a physical mailing is worth it.
They almost always have a sale running, so check at the top of this page to take advantage of their most recent discount! Follow them on Facebook and Twitter for more inspiration for your next special announcement.
