At Basic Invite we understand that sometimes seeing something online is just not good enough.  You need to see it, touch it and maybe even taste it.  Ok, Well maybe not taste it in the sense of a wedding invitation or birth announcement, but… you know what I mean.

For the last seven years Basic Invite has offered generic samples of each invitation we offer as well as a color guide so that our customers could see our print and paper quality.

So how could getting a sample get any better?  Why not get a sample of the actual invitation you are going to order!  That is right; your text photos and colors on your favorite paper.  Now instead of imagining your information on a generic sample you will receive an actual sample of the invitation you will be ordering.  This allows you to get an exact copy of what you are ordering before hand so that you don’t have to hope that the 500 invitations you are ordering are everything you hoped for, now you can know!

So what will be included
