Holiday Greetings with Basic Invite

November 26, 2021,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ll take any excuse to mail a letter. Birthday, new job, missing a friend, any reason to break out some nice stationary and select a special stamp. So when the holidays come around I love to send seasons greetings to my friends, family, and colleagues. This year I designed a selection of holiday cards with Basic Invite that felt both stylish and joyful.

   
Basic Invite offers a wide selection of card designs, all of which are very customizable. You can change the image, the text, even the way the design elements are arranged in some cases. Alternatively, if you’d like to have full control over your Christmas cards, you can upload a pre-made design to their website.

There are more than 40 colors and patterns of envelope you can pair with your design. And gold, silver, or rose gold foil can be added to any of the foil-friendly card designs, which really elevates the look. What I love about these cards is that they’re whimsical but also elegant in a world where most holiday mailings are unremarkable.

For my cards I used festive images I’ve taken over the years as well as some super cute photographs of my family dog, Coco. I mean, what’s better than a card with a cute puppy on it? Nothing. The website offers an address capturing service so you can share a link via email or social media and collect your loved ones’ addresses all in one place. You can either have Basic Invite send the cards directly or order them to your home and mail them yourself. I chose the latter option because I’m aggressive and want to seal them with wax.

If you’re sending your own holiday greetings this year, use the coupon code 15FF51 for 15% off your Basic Invite holiday card order.

Please note: this post was sponsored by Basic Invite, however, all opinions expressed are my own.
