The annual family photo is done (begrudgingly by everyone), and now it’s time to find the perfect card to send to friends this holiday season. Each year it’s a challenge for me to find a chic card that is complimentary to our photo, looks different from the previous year, and offers recipient addressing. Since there are only a handful of print companies that I am familiar with, I am always looking for a new way to have our cards stand out from the rest. Enter Basic Invite, a family-owned custom stationery company that offers so many ways to create the perfect holiday greeting card. Whether you are going for the simple Christmas card or the over-the-top holiday foil greeting, there are plenty of designs to choose from.
The best way to make a card your own is through the various ways you can personalize the design, and in this way, Basic Invite stands out. They are one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options (over 180 to choose from) with instant previews online. Print in flat ink or foil in gold, silver, or rose gold. There are also over 40 different envelope colors (with peel and seal closures- goodbye glue pen!). Once you create your card, you can order an actual sample to check everything from the text, color, and paper quality. Last but not least is the free recipient address printing, which has become a deal breaker for me. No more labels, return address stickers, or printed lists of friends and family. If I can’t stuff and seal within one episode of Dateline, it won’t get done.
This long weekend is the best time to browse: crop the photo, pick some colors, styles, and fonts, and order a sample. Ringo, our Havanese, may get in on the fun and help with some Christmas cards with dogs! And the best part is that you can take 15% off with coupon code 15FF51.
