Hopefully, you are reading this as a newly engaged couple planning out the next phase that’s starting in your life. Whether you’re deciding to elope or plan a major wedding, those you care about in your life will need to hear about the fact that you’re finally sealing the deal. This is big news that must be shouted from the rooftop!
When starting your elopement or wedding planning, you seriously begin to realize how much you have on your plate and it can be (to say the least) overwhelming.
Yes, you don’t have hundreds of guests to account for if you elope, but you still have to plan your location, photographer, ceremony details, etc. If you’re planning a huge wedding, you realize that time is of the essence and you don’t have a minute to spare! So, let me make life a bit easier for you and share the best wedding invitation templates that will save you time and energy.
I’ve seen hundreds of wedding invitations from places like Costco, Walmart, Walgreens, Shutterfly…you get the point. Though extremely inexpensive, the paper viscosity, photo quality, and ability to customize is significantly diminished. These places often neglect the simplicity of wedding invitation suites, which can make your life more difficult by adding additional steps to your process (not only do you have to order your invitations, but also your save the dates, RSVP’s, registry information, etc.). Your elopement or wedding is deserving of the finest stationery for you to enjoy now and years to come.
My biggest suggestion for you couples out there looking for where to find the best wedding invitation templates is to use Basic Invite. Honestly, this site is going to give you your time back to focus on the most important wedding details now – spending time with your fiance, picking your photographer (read more on how to pick the right photographer for you), and so on.
Basic Invite is, well, basic. It’s super easy to choose your invitation template (they even have themes you can choose from like a rustic, beach, or forest theme). Then you drag, drop, customize, and purchase. They allow you to select from over 180 color options to match your color palette and create the exact invite you want. You can add your own photos, change the font around, and choose a style.
Not only can you choose from an assortment of templates, but you can match all of your other stationery with their wedding sets. They have some of the best wedding invitation suites I have seen. Basically, it’s set up to create all of your potential wedding stationery together so you don’t have to do it all separately – it’s genius.
Once you choose a style for your invite, you can replicate that and match it to all the other wedding cards you need, like save the dates, enclosure cards, wedding menus, wedding programs, thank you’s, and even stickers! You can choose from over 900 sets they have or upload your own.
If you’re unsure about Basic Invite’s quality or how your stationery will look printed, they can send you a printed sample of any card before you purchase or send them out. I did that myself and it gave me so much more confidence in the quality! The cards were firm yet soft, the colors were bold and true, and the photos maintained their quality – something I am stingy about!
This is an example of the sample folder that they send to you. It’s gorgeous!
Some of my favorite cards are the Forest Watercolor Send & Seal Wedding Invitation (this one is awesome because it has the card and envelope all in one and is really easy to send. No envelope needed – just postage. It’s super cool!). But, I also sampled the traditional Forest Watercolor Wedding Invitation Templates.
The next recommendation I have is the Opaque Love Wedding Invitation.
Honestly, the stationery you choose is a personal decision. You need to decide what is best for you, your partner, and your budget. But, if you want to ensure you get the best wedding invitations out there to match your unique style, use Basic Invite. Plus, if you aren’t in love with what you get, they’ll reprint them for you for free, or you can return your order for a full refund. Their customer service is as stellar as their products!
The goal I have as a photographer is to make YOUR LIFE EASIER. I want to help keep your day as stress-free as possible. I do that by staying organized and learning all the ways I can make your wedding and wedding photo dreams come true.
Are we a good fit? Let’s work together!
