New Discovery: Custom Thank You Cards from Basic Invite

New Discovery: Custom Thank You Cards from Basic Invite

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a navy sweater. If there’s two things I love, it’s navy sweaters and custom stationery. There weren’t many rules when I was growing up (maybe that explains why I am the way I am), but there was one rule my parents were militant about: ALWAYS WRITE A THANK YOU NOTE. I’m constantly adding to my stationery drawer so that I have the perfect card on hand for any occasion.. You can imagine my delight when I discovered Basic Invite and their vast selection of custom thank you cards.

Once you play around on their site, you’ll notice a few things:

Almost unlimited color options - Once you land on a design, you can change the color of each element on the card to over 180 different options. I’m picky. I love this.

There are 40 different envelope colors - Think the customization stops at the card? Wrong.

Custom samples - This one is MAJOR. Basic Invite is one of the few stationery sites that lets you order a printed sample of your actual piece so you can check out the paper quality and printing before committing to the full order.

I think that personal style extends beyond what you wear to how you design your life. You should put the same care into choosing a custom thank you card or wedding thank you card that you would into choosing an outfit. Incorporate your personality into your designs - I have a set of cards from Basic Invite on their way to me that, instead of my initials, have “XXL” on them (in navy blue, of course).

A thoughtfully designed thank you card not only shows that you’re grateful for the gift, but it’s a fantastic way to ensure you get another one!

The best part of all? Right now Basic Invite is offering 15% off with coupon code: 15FF51
