Prepare to write your Christmas card greetings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we jump into exactly what to write in a Christmas card<\/a> for 2024, let\u2019s first outline some things you\u2019ll want to do in advance. At Postable, the holiday season is our holy grail\u2014we live, breathe and plan ahead for the holiday season all year round so that your experience is buttery smooth. The same concept applies here\u2014planning ahead and organizing yourself before diving into writing<\/strong> your Christmas wishes card will make your experience that much more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how does one exactly get ready to write?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organize your Christmas card list<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Who do you want to send your Christmas cards<\/a> to this year? Make a list.<\/strong> And yes, check it twice\u2014but mostly check to make sure you have the correct mailing addresses. You\u2019ll need those. Make sure you have the correct street, city and zip code<\/a><\/strong>. Also, double check to see if anyone on your list has moved recently (given the housing market and the remote work environment this is very probable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, once you have your list ready to rumble with all the addresses completed, consider splitting up your list into groups<\/strong>. For example, if you\u2019d like to send your professional contacts\u2014think colleagues, business partners, employees etc.\u2014 a different holiday card from those of your friends and family, it\u2019ll be easier to execute if your list is pre-split. This will also make writing your Christmas card greetings that much simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Order your Christmas cards in advance (if you\u2019re ordering a box of cards)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Remember, the postal service tends to slow down year after year during the holidays<\/strong>. Given the complexities of what\u2019s going on with the postal service and the shipping situation in general right now, chances of delivery times slowing down even more are very high. The previous holiday seasons are perfect examples. Plan ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this mean for you? Well, in order to write your short Christmas card messages you\u2019ll need some cards. If you\u2019re planning on ordering a box of them to get mailed to you first then you\u2019ll need to plan enough time for that box to arrive, to write your messages, and to then place them in the mail <\/strong>with enough time for them to get delivered by Christmas<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro tip: You can write your Christmas cards directly on your computer (or phone) and Postable will mail \u2014 via USPS \u2014  your Christmas cards for you. Saving you a butt-load of time!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Create a jolly Christmas playlist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ok, so not necessarily a required step, but one that we think makes the whole process of how to start a Christmas card and send it that much more enjoyable. We did say we love writing Christmas cards, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before diving into the main task at hand, take a few moments to create a festive playlist with all of your favorite holiday tunes<\/strong>. Alternatively, you can find some playlists that are already made on Spotify. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way, when you\u2019re sitting down to write your Christmas wishes card you\u2019ll be in a jolly state of mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Make some holiday themed adult beverages or mocktails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Again, we strongly believe this whole process should be fun! Whether you\u2019re writing your short Christmas card messages by hand or via Postable, why not have a delicious holiday cocktail nearby<\/strong>. Whether eggnog is your jam or something along the lines of a Christmas mimosa<\/a>, having that little touch of delight will certainly add to the experience. You may even find some extra holiday inspiration for what to write in a Christmas card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recruit some help \u2014 if writing Christmas card greetings by hand!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unless you\u2019re choosing to use Postable to write your Christmas cards with one of our smart handwritten fonts<\/strong> (because handwritten is a must), you\u2019ll want to recruit some help. Handwriting all of your Christmas card greetings alone will take a significantly longer amount of time than if you\u2019d just had a few handy helpers OR if you used Postable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, you\u2019ll want to get your cards into the mail in time for them to be delivered, so the more help you have the quicker you\u2019ll be able to get your cards out<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
