Personalized Baby Shower Invites with Basic Invite

This post was sponsored by Basic Invite. As always, all opinions are my own. 

I stumbled upon Basic Invite when I was looking to personalize my new business cards. I honestly fell in love with this company. Basic Invites has more than just invitations, and they are far from basic. From the personalized stationary to party printables and thank you cards, I was impressed with the user-friendly site and how easy it was to design the perfect invitation! I am a very detail-orientated party planner, and one thing that seems to always take up SO much of my time is designing the invitations! I am honestly very picky about what kind of invitations I send out because that is the very first glimpse of the party to the guest. It sets the entire theme and feel of the party. And because I swear everyone around me is having babies, I wanted to share some gorgeous personalized baby shower invites!

What I Love About Basic Invite :

Basic Invite’s website is so easy to use and to create beautiful personalized invitations.  You can quickly personalize a card or stationary in a matter of minutes.

Colors–  Often I find the perfect card or invite online, only to dislike the colors or the fonts. Basic Invite offers over 180 different color options so you can make your card exactly how you want it, right down to the smallest details. I played around with this nautical baby shower invite below and changed the tiniest things that could make a huge difference when you are coordinating a shower. This was my first experience being able to switch out the colors of every detail on the invite, truly personalizing it, exactly how I want it! And the live preview is so helpful when playing with different colors.

Once you are done designing your invite,  you have different mailing options and different types of paper as well as the shape of the invite.

My version of the invite. I wanted a softer more feminine feel to the invitation and I think I achieved just that! It was so incredibly easy and  I was even able to change  the color of the heart on the sail! Those little details are huge points in my book.

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 before you place your final order.

Over 40 Different Colors of Envelopes – You can choose from over 40 different colors when it comes to envelopes. Huge plus: all the envelopes are peel and seal so they can be quickly and securely closed. You don’t have to worry about getting a paper cut on your tongue! (Has that not happened to you?!)

Address Capturing Service – Basic Invite offers an address capturing service that allows you to simply share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram to request your friends and family’s addresses! They will then be stored in your Basic Invites account and can be selected during the design process. (Basic Invite offers recipient address printing at no cost on all Christmas card orders!) This will save me so much time during the holidays!

 You can create invites for just about any occasion- From Birthday invites to Weddings, Christmas and Baby showers…  they have so many easy-to-find categories. You can use the search bar on their site, too!

A Nautical themed baby shower is perfect for summer and gender neutral!

    I love the invitations, but the announcements are equally as stunning! I’ll be looking into this site for my boys’ birthday party this year. I love that they are actually customizable and a better fit for more people. Great post! Sharing to Pinterest, as well.

It's been a good hot Summer's day. Keeping the ho It's been a good hot Summer's day. 
Keeping the house stocked with popsicles, watermelon, huckleberry pop, and all the hot dogs and brats to throw on the grill for quick lunches. 
So thankful Summer is finally here and that I get to enjoy it with my boys 💙

Poor Liam missed the last two days of his Summer camp this week. 😩 He missed out on the sleepover, whitewater rafting, and a campfire. He's just sad he didn't get to thank or say goodbye to his counselors & friends. He doesn't have it too bad at all but didn't want to get his friends sick, of course. 
We also finally had beautiful Summer weather this week, and I was stuck inside everyday trying to fight this 🦠 

Baby Theo is in the thick of it now, and  gosh is he a tough little guy. Nights are the worst and I feel helpless when he can't breathe through his nose at all or catch his breath from coughing. 
😩
Taking care of a sick family while barely able to lift my own head was not fun. I'm doing MUCH better today so I can properly take care of the boys . Being a mother while sick is truly one of the hardest things, isn't it ?? Every time I'm super sick like this, I think about how I wish my own mother was here to take care of me 😆 

I have a natural chest rub for baby Theo and EO going in the diffusers. We're taking warm baths every day... any other suggestions on what I could do to help ease his congestion and cough ??

Today I surprised my son with a mint & citrus foot soak after a long day at Summer camp. 
I've been under the weather the last couple of days so I needed a rejuvenating foot soak out on the porch, too. 
Foot soaks have been a nice calming ritual my son and I have done together since he was a toddler. Hot foot soaks on cold Winter evenings and cooling foot soaks at the end of a hot Summers day are a good excuse to sit down together and just relax. We use different herbs and fruits for the changing seasons. The citrus and fresh mint in this foot soak is cooling and refreshing. 

To make: 

Fill a large bowl with lukewarm water and add slices of grapefruit, lemon, and lime. Sprinkle in some fresh mint leaves and 1/2 C to 1 C of epsom salts. 

Mint has a nice cooling effect on the feet and helps to sooth sore muscles, aches and pains.
