Featured Post: Basic Invite

Hey all!

As we launch into yet another amazing season of weddings, engagements, parties, and joyous events, the requests for tips on great photos keeps rolling in. More and more these days, the appreciation for capturing that perfect moment is growing. We flip through hundreds of beautiful and powerful imagery on the web everyday, reflecting upon our past memories or looking forward to the ones to come. What we have lost though is the importance of a tangible object, an actual print to hold, and pass around an intimate gathering. Printing can be just as important as capturing amazing imagery, and is an art form in itself.

Most don’t realize how much can go into a single image. Capturing the moment is only the first step. After that, I put on some music, make a cup of tea, and get to work. I cull through and pick the strongest images. From there I correct lighting, color edit, and crop. With the amount of time that goes into my imagery, it is of the utmost importance to me that when I go to print those images, they are exactly as they should be. There are not too many who can do it and do it well, But let me introduce to to a company that can: Basic Invite

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, and color is key! I’m all about the details, and this allows you to control the design down to the smallest detail. This is a huge advantage over most of the stationary companies out there.

Even when I think I have everything perfect, sometimes I will order something and it will come back looking different than what I expected. Not with Basic Invite. An awesome feature is that they allow their 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. I actually haven’t heard of any online site doing this until now, and it’s a pretty sweet reassurance.

And the awesomeness keeps on going! Basic Invite has over 40 different colors options for envelopes. I hated getting my cards just right then having to pick a white envelope because there were only 5 other colors to choose from….. problem solved!

You want more? Sure, why not! If you don’t have the creative eye, pick from over 200 wedding invitations set. Once you’re all set, use their free address collection service to request addresses from your guests in just a couple of steps.

In my line of work, I need efficient services that I can consistently count on for high quality. This is a super cool website, and I encourage you guys to go check it out when the time comes. Make the intangible… tangible.
