Baby Shower Invites and Games made easy (Shower Planning with Basic Invite)

As you know, I love planning parties and hosting. My friend Mary Katherine is having a little boy and I was excited to plan a shower for her. So much goes into the planning of a shower from the guest list to the food, and any help you can get is always appreciated

As luck would have it, Basic Invite* reached out to me to feature their beautiful invitations and I could not believe how beautiful they are ad how easy the website is to use. And not just for baby shower invites, one day if I ever get married, I will have to use them for a beautiful wedding invitation.

I love this one for MK's shower.  And the macaroons will inspire dessert!

I am going to keep this one in mind with all the parties we have a breweries these days!

I have been on a rabbit hole dive of their site just imagining all the other parties I would love to plan!

What is so great about Basic Invite? Let me count the ways!

1. Almost Unlimited Colors - Basic Invite is one of the few websites that provides 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 so you can make sure the card is exactly how you want it down to the tiniest detail. 
2. Custom Samples - Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows you to order a printed sample of your actual invitation so you can see exactly how it will print and the paper quality before you place your final order.  This helps for typos too! (I have experience with this!)
3. Over 40 Different Colors of Envelopes - Basic Invite is just as colorful with envelopes as they are with invitations. You can choose from over 40 different colors of envelopes so that you can make your invitation stand out even before it is opened. Plus, all of Basic Invite's envelopes are peel and seal so you can save your poor tongue from overuse or God forbid worse! (Got to love Seinfeld.)
4. Address Capturing Service - Basic Invite offers an address capturing service that allows you to simply share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. to request your friends and family’s addresses which then get stored in your account and can be used during the design process. Basic Invite offers recipient address printing at no cost on all card orders.
5. Foil - Foil cards are available in gold, silver, and rose gold. You can choose flat or raised foil on all of Basic Invite’s foil designs.

I mean what more could you ask for!?  The peel and stick envelopes and easy address capturing are like gold!  How annoying is to to email or text everyone for their address?  This way it is all gathered and organized for you!

But that is not all Basic Invite has for you.  All those cute baby shower games you see on Pinterest?  They've got a template for that!  This baby advice Mad Libs is going in my cart for the shower!  I wish I would have known about these Little Man baby shower games  when my mustache loving friend Chelsea had her little man!  Their Instagram is just full of ideas as well!

I cannot wait to get going on the food for the shower, I have so many tried and true party recipes but I may have to come up with a few new ones for this party!  Maybe I will try my hand at homemade macaroons!

Right now Basic Invite is offering 15% off everything on their site with coupon code: 15FF51.  Perfect timing for me!

Have you ever heard of Basic Invite?  Do you love throwing parties as much as I do?  What is your go to baby shower game?

Happy Cooking!
