Business Cards, Stationery, Invitations & More from Basic Invite

You don’t have to own a business to carry a business card! Basic Invite offers customizable business cards for everyone

I have always had a box of business cards that my company has provided me.  I have never handed out more than a handful of these cards over the last 18 years as I have never been in a position that requires me to solicit my information. Confession:  I have a box of 100+ for my current position that I have not even opened since I received them.  So what could I possibly want business cards for then?! Well…

Looking back now when I was in graduate school I would have benefited from having a business card.  I attended classes in the evenings and would often have to schedule meetings for group assignments.  It would have been so much easier to exchange business cards with my classmates with our contact information.  So many times classmates would ask for my phone number and then text or call me so I would quickly have their information.  I did not always take the time to enter everything about them in the contact entry and often times would forget their names.  It really did  not do me much good having their information in my phone!  A business card would have been much more useful and helpful. 

In my other ‘job’ as a mom I cannot tell you how many times I wish I had a business card and I wish other moms had one so we could exchange.  Imagine how convenient it would be to easily reach out for future playdates, homework assignments when my kids forget them at school, carpooling, and a dozen other reasons I am sure you can think of! There are just too few minutes in the car line to ask for someone’s information.  Now, as a lifestyle blogger I can think of no better way to share my information face to face with acquaintances, friends, family and others that just might love to be a Charmer!   

Basic Invite Business Cards

I created a perfect custom business card for my lifestyle blog on Basic Invite.  There were so many choices, I tried numerous ones before deciding on the one.  Basic Invite provides an instant preview of each business card design I selected.  I am so happy with the quality and how they turned out.  I cannot wait to start sharing them with future Charmers!  If you do not want any of their designs, not to worry you can upload your very own!

They offer so many options to include: 

  • Almost Unlimited Colors – Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once you select a design 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. This is what sets them apart from almost any other online stationery company and is what they feel is their biggest draw.
  • Foil – Foil cards are available in gold, silver, and rose gold. Customers can choose flat or raised foil on all of Basic Invite’s foil designs.
  • Paper Types – Choose from five premium different paper types for non-foil cards and three premium paper types on all foil cards.
  • Custom Samples – 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.  Creating a luxe business card will definitely provide a great first impression!

Incase you are not sure what you should include on your business card – do not fear – Basic Invite has that covered too!  They provide you with three things you need to include:

  1. Logo & Description Tagline
  2. Website Link
  3. Social Media Links

Basic Invite Customized Stationery 

Basic Invite also offers beautiful customized stationery.  It seems so rare anymore that we receive any ‘real’ mail.  I am always so surprised when I see a card in the pile of magazines, ads and bills.  Notecards and thank you notes offered from Basic Invite are so nice.  I love how you can update with any color and your name or a special message.

They also offer the same options listed above as well as the following: 

  • Over 40 Different Colors of Envelopes – Basic Invite is just as colorful with their envelopes as they are with their invitations. Customers can choose from over 40 different colors when it comes to their envelopes so that they can make their invitation stand out even before it is opened. All of their envelopes are peel and seal so the envelopes can be quickly and securely closed.

Basic Invite Customized Invitations

Each year our family hosts a Halloween driveway party.  Basic Invite has the spookiest Halloween invites.  My invite via email just might have to take a back seat this year!

Basic Invite Customized Christmas Cards

You know Christmas is just around the corner and it will not be long and I will be searching for the perfect A Team picture to share with our closest family and friends.  I always love picking out our holiday card and we especially love receiving them!  We have an awesome wire Christmas tree that holds each and every one.  Basic Invite has some really great options for Merry Christmas cards that stand out from other sites I  have shopped in past years. (At the time of this posting Basic Invite is offering 30% off all holiday cards with coupon code: HOLI30)

My favorite service of all time just might be this: 

  • Address Capturing Service – Basic Invite offers an address capturing service that allows customers to simply share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other form of social media to request their friends and family’s addresses which will be stored in the customer’s account and can then be selected during the design process. Basic Invite offers recipient address printing at no cost on all Christmas card orders.

I feel like this will guarantee zero return cards in the mail this year!

So, if you have never thought you could use a business card maybe now you will consider how helpful they could be for you!  Maybe you own a small business and would like to change up your current card to a new fresh design.  Whatever the case may be I would definitely consider Basic Invite for your custom business card needs. Be sure to check out the personalized stationery and invitations too.
