Basic Invite Holiday Cards

Comments

Read Now
 
I love all things office supply and stationary. That is likely pretty obvious from my YouTube channel as I have entire playlists dedicated to stickers and planners. What may not be obvious is that I send cards out fairly regularly as well, like with snail mail. It may seem like an antiquated notion with today's instant connection and communication but there is something special about receiving a note, letter or card in the mail. A card is something tangible that can be kept as a keepsake, scrap-booked or simply posted up as a reminder so that I don't forget an important event coming up. When I was asked by Basic Invite to take a look at their upcoming holiday line I had to say yes, there wasn't really another option. I send cards not only for myself but also for my dance group every year so was excited to get a sneak peak and start planning! 

The first thing I did was parusse their website to see what other types of cards and stationary they had... I was impressed. There were some adorable baby shower cards I would totally have used for a baby shower that was hosted just recently as well as some stunning stationary that I may go back and order next pay day. Some of the baby shower options are below (shared with permission). How adorable are they!?! And don't even get me started on the birth announcements, too cute!

They have cards for just about every possible occasion and the services offered are pretty cool as well.
  • Over 180 colors to chose from with instant previews online (just select the design and then change the color of the various elements, simple navigation)
  • They allow customers to order a printed sample of the invitations before they place their final order so that they can see the paper quality and how it will print. 
  • There are 40 different envelope colors to choose from. For someone who loves colors as much as I do this made me quite happy. Color coordinating envelopes? Yes please!
  • They have foil options (gold, silver, and rose gold)... need I say more? No, I thought not. :)
  • Basic Invite offers recipient address printing at no cost on all card orders. Not only that but they offer an address capturing service that allows customers to share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media to request their friends and family’s addresses. The addresses are stored in the customer’s account and can be selected during the design process. 

OK, on to the holiday cards! They're super cute y'all! ​
They have photo holiday cards (which is typically the way I go for the dance group's Christmas cards- a beautiful group photo and text in German regarding our well wishes) as well as some vintage Christmas cards that I am looking into for my annual holiday card mailing. Vintage is pretty in right now and rightly so, so many beautiful options! The last type of card I was interested in was the holiday party invitation templates for my work Christmas party. My only issue is that there are too many choices. Luckily I have some time yet to choose. Not too long though as they are having a sale on their cards right now (15% off with coupon code 15FF51) and I don't want to miss the savings so I'll have to get on that decision making asap. Which is your favorite?

If you're interested in beautiful cards definitely consider Basic Invite. If you aren't quire ready to order your cards yet (or if you want to see even more of their cards and stationary) head to their socials to follow them for future purchases. I have!
