As of late, I have found myself being surrounded more and more by my friends who are

planning their wedding. One of the things that commonly comes up is the issue of invitations and save the dates. It’s interesting, because it wasn’t until recently that save the dates have become something that has changed the wedding industry, becoming a part of every bride’s wedding experience. 

Save the dates are commonly sent out before the formal invitation to guests, in order to allow for guests to have ample time to plan their own travel arrangements and ensure that there’s not another event that takes place. Commonly, couples will use photographs from their engagement session as a way to announce their upcoming wedding.  

While this is unique, I know that myself and many other brides are drawn to save the dates that are without pictures. What’s risky about incorporating photographs with your save the dates is that the photographs might not be printed in high quality – resulting in a cheaper-looking save the date. I recently stumbled upon Basic Invite and was clicking along to find their No-Picture Save the Dates and fell in love with the designs. These are tastefully created for those who are wanting to incorporate simple, yet sophisticated design elements throughout their entire wedding and set that tone for their guests.

For all of my 2019 and 2020 brides, if you’re still looking for a company to work with, Basic Invite might be the perfect fit for you, especially if you’re needing to send out your Save the Date’s quickly. 

A little bit but about the company: Basic Invite was founded in 2006 and provide leading, beautiful designs for the bride looking for unique, customized, and tasteful elements to incorporate throughout their wedding stationery and paper goods.
