Cheap Save the Dates: Micro-Wedding Musts
If you’ve been following me for a while or know anything about Atlas & Ember, you know that the heart of my business is planning intimate weddings and sharing tips to help make a smaller, intimate wedding as artful and dreamy as possible. Some couples opt for a smaller scale wedding not only to keep things more personal, but also because it is more cost effective. That being said, I wanted to share one of my favorite stationery companies, who can help you achieve a luxurious feel for your stationery and invitations at a more reasonable price point.
I’ve recently partnered with Basic Invite and am excited to tell you more about their unique features, innovative products, and their cheap save the dates. If you haven’t heard of Basic Invite before, they are a state-of-the-art wedding and event invitation company that offer over 900 stationery sets ranging from save the dates, wedding invitations, enclosure cards, wedding menus, wedding programs, and even matching thank you cards! They are also the most customizable wedding invitation company on the market, and are one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. You can change the color of each element on a card, with over 180 different color options. If you value a cohesive theme and aesthetic (like I do!) this feature option is HUGE! The card can be exactly how you want it, down to the littlest detail, which has been a pain point for my past couples with other companies.
They have recently launched cheap save the dates which I am linking here! They are beautifully designed and are part of themed collections that will blend beautifully with the theme of your wedding website and invitation suite. If convenience is your top priority, they also offer magnetic save the dates and “seal and send” wedding invitations which are definitely worth checking out too!
I know when working with couples who are having a smaller scale wedding, they don’t see the importance of spending a lot of money on invitations or save-the-dates, but still want to incorporate a stationery component into their wedding day. Basic Invite’s affordable save-the-dates are an amazing option so you can still send out a beautiful cards to your closest friends and family, keep one for memories for yourself, and have stationery details to incorporate into your aesthetic flay-lay photos.
Planning tip: When it comes to invitations and stationery, collecting names and addresses can be one of the most time consuming parts! Another thing that I love about Basic Invite is their address collection feature. Just share a link with your guests and they can update their personal info and mailing address which seamlessly updates into your wedding website. You can also save some postage money and keep things even more organized by collecting RSVPs online through your wedding website instead of by mail.
I’m honestly so blown away by the quality, design aesthetics, and all of the features that Basic Invite offers. Check them out for your save-the-dates, wedding invitations, wedding websites, and more - you will not be disappointed!
Happy Planning! xoxo
