My husband is graduating from law school this year! (Yes that makes 2 lawyers in one house so let’s say arguments can get very interesting!) I am very proud of him as I know how much work, time, and effort goes into finishing law school. So to celebrate I am planning a casual celebration of our friends and family! I generally love event planning so I was very excited that my husband left me free reign over everything including the invites! I turned to Basicinvite.com to work with them to design the perfect grad party invites. (They do college graduation invitations, senior graduation party invitations and high school graduation invitations as well!) They have a large selection and so many ways to customize the invitation to make it uniquely yours.

Make it One-of-a-Kind

From trendy to classic styles, there are so many grad invites to pick from. One of the ways that basicinvite.com is different from other websites is that they allow customers infinite color combinations, with instant online previews! You can change the color of each element on an invitation or card, with over 180 different colors to pair. As you can see below there are four different colors you can change on this invitation as well as the ability to “refine colors” which gives you even more options. This means that each invitation or card you make is uniquely yours and no one else will have it!

Matching Graduation Thank You Cards

I know some people think that thank you cards are antiquated and old-fashion but I love receiving them. It makes me feel like someone appreciated my gift. I think people do not write thank you cards because there is a big question around what do you write in a graduation thank you note? I think writing a note from the heart, thanking them for the gift and saying something like what you plan on doing with the gift (if its money) or how you have already used the item or plan to use the item is perfect. It does not need to be long- just heartfelt. Plus, I love that basicinvite.com has matching thank you cards to their graduation invitations. It keeps a nice theme running throughout the event and they are so cute and classy. As you can see below I customized the colors to match the invitation above!

PLUS Free Address Collection Service!

To me this is the best feature that basicinvites.com has. I do not know if you have ever tried to collect addresses for a big event but it is really hard! We mainly communicate via texts, emails, and social media, so we never have each others physical addresses. And to make it harder we move a lot, especially when graduating and starting a career. Basicinvite.com helps you navigate this by using their free address collection service to request others addresses with just three simple steps. Share a link via social media or email, collect addresses, and get free envelope printing.

Festival Season Bags- Part 2

Festival season often means the trendiest bags are out and about. But what if those trendy bags were actually vintage inspired and there was a cheaper version? Well that is what we are talking about today in part 2 of festival season bags! (Also as I noted in my first post these are just great spring bags.)

If you have been paying attention circle bags have been back for a bit and are still going strong. They have this fun vintage canteen vibe and seem to fit in perfectly in the desert. Louis Vuitton has recently some more recent version with their boite chapeau line (or hat box line) but they are very very pricey. Luckily for us, there are budget friend versions available as well.
