Family photo Christmas cards are such a wonderful family tradition! Picking a great stationary company is so important and I am so happy we went with Basic Invite. We were so busy with the move that I didn’t have time to write addresses, apply postage, and mail out the Christmas cards, so Basic Invite mailed them out for me! Can you believe that the entire process took under 30 minutes? Christmas time is so busy so I love connecting you with brands that will save you time and money. Because you are so busy baking, cooking, and wrapping gifts the Family photo Christmas cards need to be the easiest thing to check off your Christmas to-do list.

How to prep for your Christmas cards:

• Book a local photographer – Do you want a moody photo or a white and bright photo? Vet out different local photographers and see what style you like best. We went with a moody photo style this year.
• Pick our family outfits– I love doing neutral because they really help the colors of your family photo christmas card pop out.
• Choose a theme or location – Some of my favorites are outside with a lot of greenery and in the home with family pajamas.
• Set a budget – it’s tempting to send 4000 Christmas cards but it can get expensive. Make sure you set a budget for how much you want to spend on the family photo Christmas cards.
• Start collecting addresses– Basic Invite offers an address capturing service that allows customers to share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media to request their friends and family’s addresses. The addresses are stored in the customer’s account and can be selected during the design process. Basic Invite offers recipient address printing at no cost on all card orders.
