Merry Mail 2019// Our personalized Christmas cards from Basic Invite

This post is sponsored by Basic Invite. All opinions are my own. 

This year has been the earliest I have ever gotten my Christmas cards printed. Like, Who Am I right now? To say I'm impressed with myself is a huge understatement, haha. But I can't take all the credit (only the coordinating outfits, photo shoot location and bribes for smiling are on me) the real MVP is Basic Invite.

If you don't know about Basic Invite {you can read more about them from my post in September here} it is online stationary company that is your one-stop-shop for all things printed; from holiday cards for business to business cards, to personalized stationary to specialized websites, Basic Invites is anything but basic.

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 you can change the color of each element on the card to over 180 different color options! How cool is that?! I could get caught up in playing around with the color elements alone. Seriously. Making sure the card is exactly how you want it down to the littlest detail is why I think Basic Invite is so special.

Custom Samples - 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.

Over 40 Different Colors of Envelopes - Basic Invite is just as colorful with their envelopes as they are with their invitations! Customers can choose from over 40 different colors when it comes to envelopes so that their invitations stand out even before they're opened. All of the envelopes used are peel and seal so they can be quickly and securely closed without licking a single one, because licking envelopes is nasty this is a big win in my book. 

Address Capturing Service - 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 then be stored in the customer’s account and can be selected during the design process. Basic Invite even offers recipient address printing at no cost on all Christmas card orders!

Foil - Foil holiday cards are available in gold, silver and rose gold. Customers can choose flat or raised foil on all of Basic Invite’s foil designs. Who doesn't love that extra bit of shine?!

There are over 500 different Christmas card and custom holiday card designs! And right now Basic Invite is offering 30% off with coupon code: holi30 

Here are a few of my favorite cards that almost made the cut:

I think I had the most fun designing the back of our card this year, Basic Invite has so many layout options to choose from! See what I mean?

Have you made your personalized Christmas cards yet? Are you even thinking about cards? Have you had your Family pictures taken? I need to know, people!
