It’s that time of year! Graduation is coming right up, so senior picture season is in full swing. The weather has been beautiful and it’s been perfect for outdoor photos.

There are many things I suggest doing with senior portraits –

• display them on the wall
• give to grandparents
• make an album
• high school graduation invitations

 

I offer professionally designed announcements and holiday cards, but I know some people like doing their own. I was recently introduced to a great online stationery company called Basic Invite. Their cards are gorgeous, and they have a great selection! One thing I really love about Basic Invite is that they are one of the few websites that allows customers almost unlimited color options with instant previews online. Once you select a design you can change the color of each element on the card to over 180 different color options so you can make sure the card is exactly how you want it down to the littlest detail. This way you can see exactly what your card will look like before you place your order.

Not only can you preview your cards online, but Basic Invite is one of the few websites that allows customers the ability to order a printed sample of their actual invitation so they can see exactly how it will print as well as the paper quality before they ever have to place their final order. One of the biggest perks of having me make your cards for you is that you don’t have to worry about quality, or put any time into designing. But if you are going to go the DIY route, this is a great way to make sure you will love your cards before placing an order.

Now for what I think is the coolest thing about high school graduation announcements (or any cards) from Basic Invite.

Basic Invite offers an address capturing service that allows customers to simply share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other form of social media to request their friends and family’s addresses which will be stored in the customer’s account and can then be selected during the design process. Basic Invite offers recipient address printing at no cost on all card orders. Isn’t that awesome??! Collecting addresses can be the hardest part of sending cards, and this helps make it easier.

There are more than just high school graduation invitations templates at Basic Invite. They also carry announcements for paramedic graduation invitations, as well as inspirational graduation invitations.

Right now Basic Invite is offering 15% off with coupon code: 15FF51

While I do focus a lot of my business on newborn and family photography, I do offer senior portraits as well. Feel free to contact me for more information if you are looking for a senior portrait photographer!
