The first ingredient is choosing the photo wisely. Pictures that
have too much scenery and not enough focus on you and your
family may mean a lot to you but for friends and family that may
not have seen you in year’s, scenery often detract from the
photo. Remember to show yourself close up and in focus even if
signs of aging come through.
The second ingredient is Christmas cheer. Perhaps frame the
photo red and green with a small picture of holly in each
corner.
The third ingredient is the message. If you remember which
Christmas cards you threw in the bin fastest last year they
would have to be the ones that say to and from with no personal
message. Your message needs to tell everyone what you have been
doing for the past year. Two paragraphs with a fancy font
explaining what you have achieved this year with the trials and
triumphs will make it a memorable read.
The final ingredient is to make it personal. Try and make your
recipient feel like the Christmas card was especially for them
even if everyone of your friends receives the same card. This
can be done by using words such as "we look forward to catching
up", "You have been a great support this year" "Thank You".
Now that you have got your photo your Christmas cheer and your
message together, printing out hundreds of cards can seem
daunting. Places such as your local print shop or even online
websites that can post your card for you and do the card
stuffing can be used such as Postit4u Printable Christmas Cards
Christmas cards are a great tradition and don't have to be
commercial but with a bit of effort can be personal and
sentimental, just add the right ingredients.
