Christmas Card Inspiration for 2020 with Basic Invite
Christmas came early this year when I found the most beautiful Sleeper pajamas, the Party Pajama Set, and absolutely had to have them. Yes, the price tag was a bit more than I was hoping for, but how could I say no to ostrich feather-trimmed pajamas?! They also gave me the inspiration for our Christmas card this year, which is something I struggle with every year. With COVID19 keeping us at home, I thought it would be fun to put on our most fabulous pajamas and take a photo in front of our Christmas tree with our dog, Laila. Because my pajama set is red, I found a sophisticated green pajama set for Garrett.
In the past, Garret and I have done a snowy, elegant photoshoot in front of the Biltmore as well as a casual photoshoot at a local Tree farm the day after Thanksgiving. I think switching it up year-to-year keeps our annual Christmas card exciting! I have loved both the elegant and casual Christmas card looks we created.
Ideas for 2020
For 2020, I like the idea of getting dressed up and taking a photo outside of your home with your Christmas decor in full swing. It’s simple and would make for a beautiful card. And if the holiday season gets too busy, I always like to keep a couple of pictures from past trips on hand, with the chance that one of them is nice enough for a Christmas card.
For the actual card itself, I’ve worked with Basic Invite for years and I love the quality of their products. Their website offers a wide variety of holiday and photo xmas cards to choose from. They also have unbeatable prices for the quality of their products. Once you select a holiday party invite template or a happy holiday card that you like, you are able to change the color and font of each element on the card.
Unlike other card companies, their website allows you to choose from over 180 color options with instant previews. This way, you can personalize the card to get it exactly how you want it. If you want to be extra festive with your holiday card, Basic Invite has foils available in gold, silver, and rose gold that can be either flat or raised foil. And if you thought customizing the card was fabulous, they also have over 40 different peel and seal envelope colors to choose from. Now, your holiday card and the envelope can coordinate, how chic is that?
Basic Invite also allows you to order a printed sample of the holiday card you created before placing your final order. I personally think this is an awesome feature! Receiving a sample lets you feel the paper quality and see how the card will look in real life to make sure it is perfect.
Want to collect your address book nice and easy? They offer an address capturing service that gives you a link to share on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media site to request your friends and family’s addresses. The submitted addresses are then stored in your account and can be selected during your design process. Recipient address printing is also offered at no cost on all card orders.
And if all of this wasn’t enough to get you excited about using Basic Invite for your holiday card this year, they are offering 15% off with the coupon code 15FF51. Make your holiday card the best one yet and use Basic Invite to create the perfect customized card that will impress all of your friends and family!
Thank you Basic Invite for partnering with me on this post.
