This post is sponsored by Basic Invite. However, all opinions are my own.
Growing up, I never got the chance to do Christmas cards with my family. We were always so busy with school, extracurricular activities, meetings and more. I think that’s why I’ve always had a special place in my heart for the holidays. Winter break meant I would get to spend quality time with my family (including my extended) to catch up. Now with social media, it makes everything so much easier, but nothing compares to the tradition of Christmas cards! Plus, who doesn’t love getting some good ole’ fashioned snail mail?
Basic Invite offers over 400 different combinations for your 2017 Christmas cards and offers everything from stationery to wedding announcements. I’ll definitely be hoping to partner with them again in the future! (Pssst. You can send this blog post as a big hint to your significant other like I’m doing with mine.)
Keep reading to find out why I love Basic Invite for announcements and holiday cards.
Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows you to choose from almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once you select a design you can change the color of each element on the card to over 180 different color options (including foil) so you can make sure the card is exactly how you want it down to the littlest detail. You also get over 40 color choices for envelopes! You can make the cards as bright as your future or as monochromatic as Karl Lagerfeld’s wardrobe. Either way, your recipients will love it.
Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers the ability to order a printed sample of their actual invitation so they can see exactly how it will print as well as feel the paper quality before they ever have to place their final order. This is SO important. Sometimes things just look different once it’s right in front of you.
Basic Invite offers an address capturing service that allows customers to simply share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other form of social media to request their friends and family’s addresses which will be stored in the customer’s account and can then be selected during the design process. ALSO, Basic Invite offers recipient address printing at no cost on all Christmas card orders! Imagine how much easier it will be to round up the addresses for your special events. #Blessed
When I start a family of my own, I’ll make sure to implement Christmas cards into our own routine. How would you design your Christmas cards with Basic Invite? Let me know below!

I need to get back into giving cards. These are beautiful 😍
The extra services Basic Invite offers is so amazing – I love that I can order a printed sample to view it before placing an order. I will definitely be keeping them in mind when I need to make custom cards!
I love the idea. I’m always behind on my holiday cards! 😩
This was the first year we did Christmas cards and I had so much fun making them! I cannot wait to look back at all of our cards over the years!

Girl, I might have to look into this because I still haven’t done my holiday cards. Hopefully I can get them done this weekend.
These are so festive! One year I’ll get around to doing them, I always seem to run out of time!
Love these cards! These sound great, so pretty for the holidays!
