Thank you to Basic Invite for sponsoring this blog post. All opinions are my own.
The further I get into blogging, the more that I learn that it is truly a business. As with any business, the challenge is standing out! Promoting myself is definitely a struggle and approaching companies can be extremely intimidating. One thing that you can do to make an impression is to stand out with unique business cards.
A fantastic place to order beautiful, unique, and modern business cards is BasicInvite.com. Their designs for business cards, invitations for weddings, showers, and birthdays, as well as announcements are truly gorgeous.

Almost Unlimited Colors
Card and Details
Looking at other similar websites and companies, I have seen that color limits are an issue. You usually get a set number of colors for each design, limiting your options. Basic Invite is one of the few stationery sites that allows you to choose pretty much any color you can think of AND see an instant preview online.
EACH element of the card (that’s right all of the details, not just the background color) can be changed to over 180 different color options so you can make the card exactly how you like it. Every little detail.
How many times have you been looking at invitation designs and just didn’t like that one piece of it? Well at Basic Invite you can change it! This is a huge reason that Basic Invite is a perfect option for ordering your unique business cards! Make it look exactly how you want.
Envelopes
You can even choose from 40 different colors for your envelopes. Have your invitations stand out before they are even opened! On top of having plenty of color choices, these envelopes are also “peel and seal” (no licking). That is a great plus for me.
OOO… Shiny…
Basic Invite has added a whole set of foil designs to add some beauty to your cards. They even offer foil designs for business cards if you are looking for some classy business cards!
We all know shiny things attract more attention. Why not use this knowledge to make unique business cards that will stand out among the (probably) huge stack of business cards that the company you are trying to attract has collected.
The customer can choose raised or flat foil when they are designing their business cards or other designs.
Clear Business Cards and Wedding Invitations
If you are looking for modern business cards, I really love the many clear designs that Basic Invite has added to their options. How much more unique can you get than CLEAR business cards? They look so professional and different!
Custom Samples
Another huge draw is the ability to order a sample of your custom card. Not a sample of the design that you are working from, mind you. An actual CUSTOM sample. With all your changes and your logo, everything. If something doesn’t look quite right when actually printed, you get to see it without ordering them.
I’m sure there have been many occasions where a person has created their invitation or business card online, looking at the online preview it looked great, then order 100 or more and receive them with the last part of their name cut off…
At Basic Invite, you can design your business card, then order just a single sample to preview it in person!
Address Capturing Service
Alright, this is probably the coolest feature on the website. You know how you always post a message on Facebook saying, “Hey everyone, getting ready to send out invitations to [insert event here]! I need addresses, please message me!” You know you’ve done it. This is such an unorganized way to do it. The addresses are coming from every which way, and there’s always the possibility you miss some.
Basic Invite has a feature that allows customers to share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other form of social media to request addresses. The addresses are stored in the customer’s Basic Invite account and can be selected during the design process.
Bonus! Recipient address printing is offered at NO COST on all Christmas card orders. That’s awesome!
Why I’m Choosing Basic Invite for My Unique Business Cards
Although it’s true that I’m still super new and buying business cards might seem a little hasty, I am investing in myself and I am treating my blog like a business! I feel that having a unique business card that sets me apart is even MORE important right now when I’m building my reputation as a blogger.
I’m choosing Basic Invite because they have so many options to fit whatever style you are looking for. If you want modern business cards, classy business cards, or even unique shaped business cards (that should set you apart, right?) they’ve got something for you!
The fact that each card or invitation can be customized! I love that I can change the colors of each object as well as move them on the card. Most stationery sites do not have this many ways to customize.
Bonus! Right now Basic Invite is offering 15% off with coupon code: 15FF51

Wow, they offer so many beautiful cards, I absolutely love them! Also, sampling your card is amazing, I one time had to commit to nearly a thousand business cards I disliked and never ended passing out.
Wow, why have I never found Basic Invite before now?! I hate it when I like everything about a design except one thing (and I can’t change the one thing). I like to be able to personalize every part of it but I am not great at designing it from scratch so this sounds just perfect to me. Thanks for sharing Meagan!
This is exactly what I thought was so cool about it too! Starting from scratch is too difficult, but I like to have the freedom to customize.
I love these cards! The clear ones are so modern and unique! You’re right that Blogging is truly a business. Maybe one day as my blog grows I’ll purchase some cards myself! Thank you for Sharing!
These are so fun!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the clear cards.

Aren’t they? Definitely my new go-to for anything I need invitations for. I honestly was like, what could we throw a party for so I can get some of these?…. Probably will have to wait for my kids’ birthdays. The designs are soo adorable for birthday invitations!
These are all so cute! How do you choose just one?? I really love the clear ones, though.
Oh wow! Those clear designed business cards are absolutely beautiful! When I go to order new business cards these will definitely be on my list! There so fun and unique!
