Satisfied is an understatement Review by Brittany
I recently used your service to create a website for my baby shower, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! Basic Invite is User-Friendly : The website builder is incredibly easy to use. Even for someone with minimal technical skills, the process was smooth and intuitive. I love that I'm able to go in and update the site even after it's published. For example, I had an idea to add food options to the invite to eliminate food overhead and that was a win. We get to select from so many beautiful templates: The variety of templates available is impressive. I found the perfect design that matched the theme of our baby shower, and it looked professional and elegant. Did I mention responsive design?: The website looked great on both desktop and mobile devices. This was important as our guests accessed the site from various devices. and last but certainly not least-Free Service: Offering this service for free is fantastic. It made it accessible for everyone, and we could focus on planning the event without worrying about additional costs. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service and would highly recommend it to anyone planning a baby shower. Thank you for making our event even more special!
Beautiful Memorial Website Review by ALISA
This website was so easy to use, and the end product was absolutely beautiful. We also appreciated that we could order service programs directly from Basic Invite with quick delivery. Overall, this was a very positive experience and eased the stress that comes with such a tight timeline.
Perfect! Review by Shanna
Wonderful response cards. I customized them slightly by adding a 'guest count' section at the bottom, and on the back I was able to add details about RSVPing on our wedding website (if folks so choose to go that route - we've got an equal mix of older and younger invitees). Very easy to do!

How Far In Advance Do You Send Graduation Announcements?
It's a good idea to send graduation announcements a few weeks before or after the graduation ceremony. This allows enough time for your family and friends to receive the announcement and make any necessary travel arrangements if they plan to attend the ceremony.
For high school graduations, you may want to send announcements a few weeks before the ceremony, as many high school graduation ceremonies take place in late May or early June. For college graduations, which often take place in May or June, you may want to send announcements in April or May.
If you're sending announcements to friends and family who live far away, you may want to send them a bit earlier to allow for additional shipping time. Additionally, if you plan to include a party invitation along with your announcement, be sure to send it at least a few weeks before the party date.
Overall, aim to send graduation announcements 2-4 weeks before or after the ceremony, keeping in mind the travel plans and schedules of your loved ones.
Who Should Graduation Announcements Go To?
Graduation announcements are typically sent to family members, friends, and anyone else who has supported you throughout your academic journey. Here are some specific people who you may want to consider sending announcements to:
