It’s that time of the year again. My order for my Tiny Prints Christmas cards went in weeks ago. That being said, I know some of you wait till now to get it down (you still have plenty of time till Christmas!) Here are a few tips to help you with the holiday cards you are sending out this year:
- If you have kids, include a picture. Most of us don’t see your kids and I love watching them grow up.
- Include your last name somewhere on the card. I know several Joes, Bills, and Anthony. This is especially true if you don’t include a picture!
- Make sure your return address is on the envelope! This is especially true if you have moved!
- Avoid digital cards. Most of those end up in the spam bin. I regularly check mine but most people don’t.
- Pick a card that is you. You can send a generic card, but I like a card that screams our family.
- Make sure there is enough postage on your card. I know there are weird size cards out there, but you don’t want your recipients so have to pay postage!
- Make sure you pick a good company to order from. You can tell the difference in the cards. (I know, I can!)
What do you include on your Christmas cards? Any other tips you would include?
Christmas cards have really come a long way! I remember when I’d just buy a stack of generic cards at the store and then write a little note inside. Now we have pictures and everything else!
These are great tips to make sure you send out the perfect gift card. I personally love to see personalized cards rather than digital ones.
Great tips for Christmas cards. We do not get too personal with ours anymore. We just buy some nice ones from the dollar store and mail them out, but I do love the personalized ones.
Going to Christmas card in quite a long time. I love when I get them from other so I should probably do that myself. I like the tips you have on here especially the one with adding your own touch to it.
Christmas Cards do really evolve. I remember how simple they were when I was a child.
I missed getting Christmas card ready this year. Hopefully next year and with your help through this post will make sure I get in done next year. Thank you for these tips!
Thanks for reminding us about the digital cards.. I agree with you, most people won’t open it and store in a spam folder
I still love to send Christmas cards to family and friends who are far away. These are great tips.
These are great ideas. I never know what to include on my cards and now I have lots of ideas!
It actually has been ages and ages since I’ve sent or received a Christmas card. However, these are wonderful ideas!
Great tips, I am scrambling to get a family photo of us this week. It may not make the Christmas card, but we will try.
I like to include a family photo with our Christmas cards. This year we had our cards made for us with our photo on them.
I ordered mine earlier because I want to send them out early. Yours came out beautifullY!@
Nice tips! I don’t send out cards anymore because coming from a clan of 7 children our family is so big it’s impossible for me to send to all.
I love sending personal cards. I go through them all in the store until I find the one that I really love.
These are great tips! Sad to say I had sent out fewer cards this year, most of it were e-cards. I still love and I miss the traditional cards though!
