With Christmas right around the corner, holiday Christmas cards are on the brain for many families! The months leading up to Christmas are a photographer’s busiest season for this reason! I am so blessed to get to meet so many new families each year, and also many repeating ones!

When it comes to family photos, choosing a photographer, coordinating your outfits, getting everyone ready for photos, bribing your kids with snacks and promises of dessert if they smile, and then eventually designing a Christmas card to send to friends and family is no easy task! There are so many details that go into one little card!! But, year after year as you look back on how your family has grown, moms always tell me that it’s all worth it. It’s worth it to have those memories of your kids because the days are long but the years are short, right?  Even for me as a photographer, it is amazing to see how the kids of my repeat clients change from year to year! I love getting to be involved in capturing those sweet memories!

When a grandparent gets that Christmas card in the mail, you know it puts a big smile on their face! Or when that old friend from a past season of life gets an update with your family today through a Christmas card, they immediately feel connected to you again. I’m not sure who came up with the idea of Christmas cards, but I love thinking about all the ways they bring joy to people! Plus, not to mention- it’s kinda fun getting something in the mail that is not an advertisement or bill!

When the team at Basic Invite reached out to me about a collaboration opportunity, I checked out their site and was just so happy to see all of their holiday card options! There are so many beautiful designs and so many ways you can customize it to make it your own with their 180 different color options for any card elements, beautiful foiled lettering at no extra cost, and 40 different envelope colors just to name a few! Want them to mail you a sample of your card before you order, you can do that too! AND, get this… They will even address your envelopes with the recipient address for you FOR FREE!! What?!?! How amazing is that?! And, to take it a step further, they’ll even mail it for you too if you want! Basic Invite just gave you back HOURS and HOURS of time! Creating personable, unique, and custom holiday cards have never been easier! Upload your own images onto their photo Christmas cards, order, and check it off your to do list!

Although it is Christmas card season, Basic Invite can also meet literally any of your print needs for any type of event! Think graduation announcements, baby announcements, birthday parties, save the dates, wedding invitations, and even business cards!! The options are endless! Having a small holiday party?
