One of my first jobs out of college, over the summer, was at a JoAnn’s fabrics superstore. This was not just a quilter’s paradise, but a place where tons of craft supplies were available. Because I worked there over the summer, there were always holiday displays. My boss explained to me that because crafters needed to work way ahead of time, seasonal displays always went out incredibly early.
I started to work there in June and all the seasonal displays related to pool parties and Fourth of July. Amazingly, on July 5th, the displays all shifted. Back to School dominated, and just a few aisles back, Christmas started to creep in. When people have complained that Christmas displays start too early in stores, I always thought about how early crafters, quilters, sewers, and other makers had to get started on holiday gifts.
So if you’re looking to put out cards and plan parties for the winter holiday season, you should probably have gotten started a month ago. Basic Invites can help you with everything you need.

Holiday cards with photos
Want to show off your adorable children on your holiday cards? I mean, showing off my kid is the entire reason I started to send holiday cards. Basic Invites has Christmas card designs that are ideal for showing off your family. Basic Invites has foil features in gold, silver, and rose gold. Foil details on invitations can also be made flat or raised. If you think people love seeing your kids’ faces on social media, they love cards even more.
And just a note on behalf of local family photographers — be sure you book your holiday photo sessions ASAP. Many of them have been suffering from pandemic economy, and so their schedules are sure to be filling up all throughout the fall. They surely want to photograph your family, so be sure to book early.
