My Christmas list is a little different than the Jolly ole Elf’s at the North Pole.

Currently, it’s a list that includes decorating, baking, entertaining, parties, school activities, parades, editing pictures, and Christmas cards. Other years the list has involved travel or sports, but despite those items permanently checked off my list I still do not always find time to clear it all off, especially when it comes to sending out Christmas cards. I have not sent out Christmas cards the last two years due to various lame excuses, so this year I made a promise to myself that it would be done!

Basic Invite is my go-to for checking cards off the list this year and I’m excited to preview their
holiday post cards.

Custom Christmas card photo cards are so popular now and are a fabulous way to tell your family’s story without using words.

The most difficult part of using Basic Invite for your holiday card, is choosing the design you want to use!

First, they have premade templates where you can upload your own photos, but then you have the option to customize the template you choose! Basic Invite has over 180 color options that include instant preview so you can make sure your card coordinates with your picture or your style. If you want more than a digital preview, you can order a sample of your card to make sure it is exactly what you had in mind! Adding a personal touch to cards, such as color, font, or foil (yes, you can add rose gold, silver and gold to your card) is a great way to turn a simple into a lovely keepsake. Our cards have a very non-traditional photo this year, with very non-traditional colors woven throughout, but guess what?! I can take a picture of Audley and I working with the lambs on our farm and make it look festive.

So, I did. They’ll be here next week, and I can’t wait to see them and share them with you all!

After choosing your card style, you can decide whether you wanted it printed glossy or matte, with or without embossed foil, and even choose the color envelope you want to accompany the card.

All with just a couple of clicks.

Oh, and those envelope colors?

There are forty to choose from.

And, they are all peel and seal, so no icky aftertaste lingering around for hours.

So far with Basic Invite we have a plethora of templates, 180+ color options, instant preview with an option to order a sample to make sure you like it, multiple envelope choices to elevate your card could you imagine any more bonuses?

How about letting Basic Invite address your cards for you?

With Basic Invite’s free address collection system, you send a link to your friends through social media to fill out with their information, which will upload to their system with your cards. Addressing cards while watching It’s a Wonderful Life is ideal, but we all know folding clothes, washing dishes, or grading papers will probably take precedent, so at least for this year having my envelopes preaddressed will be perfectly acceptable!

I think one of my favorite things about using Basic Invite is there are so many more ways to use them throughout the year. From unique business cards to treasured graduation invitations Basic Invite really has you covered in a beautiful and personal way.

This post is sponsored by our friends at Basic Invite, where you can find all of your card needs in one place with free address printing and fast shipping on every order.
