The holidays are officially here and we couldn’t be more excited. Although we love family Christmas cards, they aren’t always the easiest to design. Thanks to Basic Invite, creative holiday greeting card ideas are easier than ever. Holiday greeting cards shouldn’t be a burden, so let’s let them take the reigns on this one.

Creative Holiday Greeting Card Ideas

This post is part of the Basic Invite sponsored program. I received compensation as a thank you for my participation. This post reflects my personal opinion about the information provided by the sponsors.

I have always loved the idea of creating Christmas photo cards online, but the thought of having to take the photo, design the card, and send it out can be quite overwhelming. When Basic Invite approached me to work with them, I was so excited to learn all about them. Do you send out family Christmas cards? Let me know in the comments!

Here is a little more about this amazing company and how you can order your holiday cards at basicinvite.com

Whatever holiday you celebrate, they’ve got something for you.

Almost Unlimited Colors

Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once you select a design, customers can change the color of each element on the card. With over 180 colors to choose from, the invite is sure to be exactly how you want it. This is what sets them apart from almost any other online stationery company.

Custom Samples

Something I have never seen with any other card company is custom samples! Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers to order a printed sample of their actual invitation before they place their final order. They can see the paper quality and how it will print, and make sure the card is perfect. 

I’m a very visual person, so being able to see it in person before I send it out is super helpful.

Over 40 Different Envelope Colors

Basic Invite has over 40 different envelope colors to choose from. With so many options, you can make your envelope match the invitation. All of the envelopes are peel and seal so they can be closed quickly and securely.

I hate having to lick the envelope, so this is super helpful.

Address Capturing Service

Basic Invite offers 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. Basic Invite offers recipient address printing at no cost on all card orders.

No need for an address book anymore! I love that it remembers so you can easily access them the following year!

It’s All in the Details

Foil cards are available in gold, silver, and rose gold. Customers can choose flat or raised foil on all of Basic Invite’s foil designs.
