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?

December 17, 2015 at 3:10 pmGreat 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.

December 17, 2015 at 3:58 pmGoing 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.

December 18, 2015 at 12:26 pmGreat tips, I am scrambling to get a family photo of us this week. It may not make the Christmas card, but we will try.

December 18, 2015 at 2:44 pmI like to include a family photo with our Christmas cards. This year we had our cards made for us with our photo on them.

December 19, 2015 at 11:49 amNice 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.

December 21, 2015 at 6:23 amThese 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!
