Can you believe that Adam and I have been married for almost 5 years, and we have never sent out Christmas cards? I actually have a hard time believing that myself, ha! But this year, after seeing some of the gorgeous designs on Basic Invite’s site, I knew it was time to start the tradition. We loved using Basic Invite to design our first Christmas cards, and in today’s post I’m sharing what makes them unique.

Unlimited Color Options
When we decided that we wanted to send out Christmas cards this year, choosing Basic Invite was a no brainer. Basic Invite has over 500 Christmas and holiday card designs, plus they have almost unlimited colors. Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows their 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. There are over 180 different color options. Because of this, you are able to ensure your cards are exactly what you want, down to the tiniest detail.
Address Capturing Service
One of the coolest features from Basic Invite is their address capturing service. You can share a link on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or any other social media account, and request your friends’ and family’s addresses. Their addresses will then be stored in your Basic Invite account. During the design process, you can select to add the addresses from your account. Basic Invite will then print the recipients’ addresses at no cost on all Christmas card orders! Because, isn’t addressing all the cards the worst part?? I love that Basic Invite has provided a genius solution for this.
Samples
But, possibly my favorite option that Basic Invite offers is that you can order a printed sample of your actual card or invitation. You can see exactly how it will print + feel the paper quality, before placing your final order. Not that you would be disappointed, because their deluxe Christmas cards are just beautiful, but I do love that this is an option.
The design process was super easy, and the turnaround time was very fast. (Especially considering how late I waited to order these.. where are my other procrastinators??).
I love that we finally started this Christmas tradition. And, I know that we will be using Basic Invite for years to come!
