Spreading Christmas Cheer in COVID-19 Times

Spreading Christmas Cheer in COVID-19 Times

Did I just say Holiday??

I know … October isn’t even over yet and people are already talking about all things Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Maybe you are someone who doesn’t believe in Christmas music before Thanksgiving or maybe you’re bringing out the Michael Buble with your Halloween decor. Either way, with the hot mess that 2020 was, I can honestly see some point in speeding this year up. I hope 2021 will be a little less … unprecedented? Who’s with me?

While beginning to think about what Christmas will look like in a global pandemic, I’ve started to realize that I may not be able to spend the same time with some of my dearest loved ones. Because love lately looks like 6 feet apart, finding ways to reach the heart of those closest to you is even more important this Christmas season.

Christmas Cheer has to look different with COVID. However, minus the closeness, there are still some ways to send love to your grandparents or at-risk loved ones.

This year, I plan on doing this by prioritizing Christmas cards! While cards may be an expected tradition, I am really looking to up my Christmas card game this year with a beautiful design and intentional wording. This way, I can send my holiday love to anyone, no matter our distance apart.

So where am I going to get these cards?

Basic Invite has the most thoughtful designs and the best system for Christmas card and holiday card ordering that I have seen yet. I love the feature of uploading your own design or choosing from one of their gorgeous done for you designs.

I love Basic Invite because they the only service I have found that allows you to choose from unlimited color options. Their designs are so customizable that you can make anything look like you! On top of that, Basic Invite will send you a printed sample of your actual invitation before you place your final order. No more ordering hundreds of cards to soon realize you messed something up! A sample will come right to your mailbox so you can see the paper quality and print to make sure the card is perfect before you spend your hard-earned Christmas cash.

They also have over 40 different colors of envelopes. I haven’t seen this feature anywhere else. You know I believe that that magic is all in the details so a matching envelope could really make your Christmas card sing.

When I tell you Basic Invite thought of everything, I really mean everything. Like an address capturing service.

Have you ever gone to send a card but it sits on your desk for days because you can’t seem to dig up the right address? Same here. With this address capturing service, you can share a link on your social media, over an email or even through a text message and request your loved one’s addresses in advance. These addresses are then stored in your Basic Invite account and will all be ready for you when order your cards. Basic Invite offers recipient address printing at no cost on all card orders! Yay! No more address headache.

Now don’t mind me, I may just go break that Buble we talked about out.

May we still spread love and warmth despite our distance this Christmas!
