Wedding Planning Is Stressful, the Invitations Should Never Be

Over the years, I have attended and helped plan my fair share of weddings, and I know how stressful it can be on the bride. Often what should be the most beautiful lead-up to the most perfect day, instead becomes a maelstrom of anxiety, anger, and disappointment. With so much that can go wrong, it’s important that the bridal shower invitations, thank you cards, and website be beautiful and stress-free!

I truly believe that the invitations set the tone for the rest of the wedding—really they’re the first impression the guests have of the bride and what kind of wedding it will be. Fancy, low-key, whimsical, or traditional, so much is communicated from the invitations alone. Here are a few ways to make sure that you leave a positive lasting impression on your guests and aren’t stressed about the invitations:

Figure Out Your Bridal Shower Theme

In order to know what kind of invitations to choose for this first important piece of the wedding, you need to spend some time thinking about what style speaks to you or if you’re planning for a friend or family member, what would have meaning to the happy couple. Love travel? The beach? If you and your future husband have a love of the ocean, the nautical bridal shower invitations by Basic Invite are a must! And they allow you the space to completely custom-make your bridal shower invitations to align with your personal style.

Most companies offer you a template that you have to follow, but Basic Invite allows you customize your shower invitations, so everyone will know it’s really you coming through.

Personalization matters, and sending out invitations that mean something to you and were effortlessly made can mean all the difference in how you remember your wedding experience.

Make Sure Your Thank You Cards Are Timely

It is easy for life to get crazy and the thank you cards to fall by the wayside, but no bride ever wants to offend the very guests who came out and spent time and money helping her celebrate one of the biggest days of her life.

Basic Invite offers timeless and customizable thank you cards for bridal showers to ensure that your guests know how much you appreciate them for their time and any gifts they may have given you. Every thank you card is a folded design that gives you plenty of room to write a unique and thoughtful message to each recipient inside and on the outside of the card you will find one of a kind design.

With over 200 different designs you are sure to find a look and feel that fits your style. Also, each design can be personalized to match your exact wedding colors. Once a template is selected every element on the card can be changed to one of over 150 different colors giving you almost unlimited color combinations. Add photos or choose a unique pattern to provide it with your personal touch.

All of these options make it fun and easy to get started and above all get mailing!

Keep Your Invitation Style Consistent with Your Wedding Website

Again going back to theme, it’s important to stay consistent. From the colors, to the style, even to the font, there should always be an underlying theme to ensure overall flow and style—and this most certainly applies to the wedding website.

Most of the time in order to do this, you have to hire several different companies, pay out of pocket, and get a headache trying to match color and font schemes. Not the case with the free wedding websites offered by Basic Invite. As with everything else they offer, their wedding websites are completely customizable!
