‘Tis the season for snowflakes, hot chocolate, twinkling lights, and mailboxes bursting with photo holiday cards. For those of us who have our address books at the ready to tackle our own festive mailings, Basic Invite makes it easy to send customized Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year cards, as well as holiday invitations. Don't be fooled by the name, though, because there's nothing basic about Basic Invite's beautiful designs. Read on to learn more and receive a special 30 percent discount off your order!
This post is brought to you in partnership with Basic Invite.
Basic Invite holiday cards
While giving out as many Christmas cards and party invitations as you receive can be daunting for even the most jolly holidaymakers, Basic Invite has styles and colors to celebrate life’s merriest occasions. It's one of the few websites that allows for complete customization. Choose from 250 holiday card designs. Customize your design with 180 different color options, plus real gold and silver foil detailing. Instant online previews make designing your cards easy and fun. Basic Invite is all about making each card just how you want it – down to the littlest detail. You can even order a printed sample of your finished project to make sure your vision has been fully realized, all before your final order is placed. The website also offers upload-your-own-design options and free printables.
Basic Invite party invitations
For those who have decked your halls in preparation for hosting a party, Basic Invite provides a selection of holiday invitations at the ready. Email invitations are just fine. A printed invitation received in the mail feels so much more festive and special. Plus, a photo invitation can do double duty as your annual holiday card!
Basic Invite New Year cards
Between holiday-themed school functions, neighborhood events and wishlist shopping, December has a way of being a whirlwind month. A revolving door of activities can make it difficult to keep up on everything on your to-do list. But if you're too busy (or late) to send out Christmas or Hanukkah cards this year, never fear! It happens to the best of us. Thankfully Basic Invite offers fun New Year card designs too. Friends and family will love receiving your glad tidings post-December for the year-to-come.
Basic Invite envelopes
Basic Invite's envelope options are just as colorful as their cards. Choose from more than 40 different colors to complement your creation. Better yet, all of their envelopes are peel-and-seal, allowing for secure closure without ever having to lick a single one. With their brand new address capturing service, you won’t have to write out a single address either. Simply share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other form of social media requesting your friends and family’s addresses. The information is then stored in your customer account, which can be selected during the design process. This is offered at no additional cost during the 2016 holiday season.

With it’s seemingly endless array of card and invitation options, Basic Invite allows you to build your own color themes in the perfect combination to make your cards as unique as you are.

I love Basic Invite. I’ve been using them for a couple of years now. The first time I saw the service, I new it was for me.
Awesome, Stacie! What do you think of their services now that you’re a regular customer?
This looks like a great service. I normally send out a couple cards, but they are just cards I get at the store. I will be checking into Basic Invite.
I’m with you, Catherine. Store-bought cards are the name of the game at our house as well, but I’m thinking not anymore 🙂
I have seen a few people post about them and I think I need to try them out next year!!
I think I need to try them out in the New Year as well, Reesa!
I have used a lot of online invite and printing companies, but I don’t think I have used Basic Invite. I will have to check it out.
Let us know what you think when you do, Pam!
Love this. What a really great idea. I will give this a try next year. This year I was bad and didn’t bother sending any cards but 1. Whoops. I just really ran out of time!
Totally understand, Jeanine. I’m forever running out of time, too 🙂
These are so cute!! Love all of these ideas!
I love all the options for personalization, JulieD. If I’m going to send out a customized card, then I definitely want choices in terms of color, font, etc. Looks like this fits the bill across the board!
Aww, this is a wonderful way to create meaningful cards! It’s nice that they have so many different customization options!
Completely agree, Liz! If I’m going to take the time to personalize a card or invite, I want a lot of options to really make it my own.
I missed out on making holiday cards this year. Definitely looking forward to making some next year!
Lisa Favre ~ There’s still time for New Year’s cards! 🙂
I totally love your cute invite holiday cards! I prefer personal customize. These are really appreciated holiday cards!
They do have some beautiful designs, don’t they Dana. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
What a fun and unique idea! I wanted to try it next year! It’s really nice to know that there are different ways to have a invite holiday cards.
Absolutely, DogVills! I’d like to try them out in the New Year as well 🙂
Those are gorgeous card options. Thank you for the discount as well!
Do you have a favorite style, Felicia? (You’re welcome!)
I absolutely adore the second one. All those blues make it feel much more wintery.
I really like that one, too, Kita.
I don’t usually send out cards. There isn’t much time to change that this year but I may send out some next year using this company. Love their style!
Sheena – I can see why you’re tempted to start sending cards wit Basic Invite ~ they are so cute and their site is so easy to use!
So SO cute! I really like the layout options they have.
Agreed, Beeb!
I’ve seen these in my mail! I have never been more stressed than I have this year with cards, I will have to use these next year. Thanks for sharing this, it’ll definitely help make it easier in 2017!
