Our 2019 Holiday Cards!
Every year since we moved into our house we’ve sent out Christmas cards. The last few years we’ve done picture cards to showcase our family photos. We have family and friends all over the country so it’s nice to send them a photo of our growing family!This year I was super excited to have a picture of my girls now that Ella is here.
We decided to use Basic Invite to order our photo cards this year. Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once you select a design, you can change the color of each element on the card. With over 180 colors to choose from, you can make sure the card is exactly how you want it. This is what sets them apart from almost any other online stationery company. Basic Invite also has foil cards available in gold, silver, and rose gold. You can choose flat or raised foil on all of Basic Invite’s foil designs. For our cards I chose raised gold foil and it adds the perfect festive touch to our cards!
One awesome thing about Basic Invite is they are one of the few websites that allows you to order a printed sample of your actual invitation before you place your final order. You can see the paper quality and how it will print in real life and make sure the card is perfect! In the past I have had a different company mess up my cards and I had to re-order them, which meant I was forced to send my cards out later than I wanted. It’s so nice to be able to make sure your card is exactly how you want it before sending it out!
When it comes to addressing, Basic Invite offers an address capturing service that allows you to share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media to request your friends and family’s addresses. The addresses are stored in the your account and can be selected during the design process. I already had all of my addresses stored in a Google Doc and it was super easy to upload them to the site! Basic Invite offers address printing at no cost on all card orders. This includes the recipient address as well as your return address.
Basic Invite also has over 40 different envelope colors to choose from. With so many options, you can make your envelope match your card or invitation. Perfect if you want to stick to a color theme! All of Basic Invite’s envelopes are peel and seal so the envelopes can be closed quickly and securely. All I have to do is slap on a stamp and my cards are ready to send!
Right now Basic Invite has 15% off everything until the end of the month with code 15FF51. Here’s to sending a little holiday cheer and making it easy!
Thank you to Basic Invite for sponsoring this post!
