And while there are a number of key elements we\u2019ll go over in this post \u2014 as with most etiquette formalities \u2014 they\u2019re totally up for interpretation. Take what works for you and your family and leave the rest.

We\u2019re just here to share the knowledge so that perhaps you can avoid some unpleasantness. The last thing you\u2019ll want is an hour long lecture on Christmas card etiquette from your aunt Sally when you\u2019re up to your ears with hosting holiday parties and wrapping gifts.

Let&#8217;s start with the obvious. If you think you know how to write the card our suggestion is just to listen to your gut. No need to follow formulas or instructions if you don\u2019t feel that they\u2019re required. However, if you do wish to learn a bit more, we\u2019ve got all the details for you!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to say in a Christmas card?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before diving into specifics on exactly what to say in your Christmas card, we want to point out an important consideration: space. The amount of space inside a Christmas card is limited compared to a full 5&#215;7 letter. Repeat: writing a season&#8217;s greetings message in a card is not the same as writing a letter. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means keeping the message short and sweet is key! You\u2019re writing to wish your friends and family a Merry Christmas so make sure you don\u2019t get too far off track.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some themes or topics you may want to include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well wishes of health and good cheer for the holiday season and the upcoming new year.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How blessed you are to have them in your life.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something personal about your recipient (perhaps their love of Christmas cookies or a favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/holidays\/christmas-ideas\/g1315\/best-christmas-movies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">holiday movie<\/a> you can\u2019t wait to hear their thoughts on).<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mentioning the last time you saw them and how much you\u2019re looking forward to seeing them again soon!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not necessary to mention all of these things. Just write from the heart with sincerity and you\u2019ll have the perfect Christmas card message in 2022. Whatever you choose to write &#8212; keep your Christmas greetings light and cheerful; remember, you\u2019re mailing your cards to spread cheer.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ERIKAFIRM359.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ERIKAFIRM359.png 600w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ERIKAFIRM359-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ERIKAFIRM359-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"button-cta vertical\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/cards\/holidays\/christmas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">See the Christmas cards!<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to write in a business Christmas card to a client?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/cards\/holidays\/christmas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christmas cards<\/a> are great opportunities to celebrate your clients and make them feel special!

It all boils down to two key considerations.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is your relationship with the recipient? <br><br>For example, are you text-most-days kind of close or more like friendly acquaintances? Though using \u2018Love\u2019 liberally during the holidays is definitely encouraged, if you don\u2019t feel that\u2019s an appropriate sign-off, an alternative could be \u2018Warmly\u2019 or \u2018Warm Wishes\u2019. Remember, this is a Christmas card, not a tax document &#8212; no stringent rules here. <br><br>**The exception to this rule: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/cards\/business\/holiday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">business Christmas cards.<\/a> It should go without saying, signing off with \u2018love\u2019 on a business anything is inappropriate. You can still get in the festive spirit and stay professional, however. Signing off with \u2018Warmest Wishes\u2019 or \u2018Happy Holidays!\u2019 is still A-OK. <\/span><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you signing your Christmas cards as a family or as an individual?<\/span><\/span> <br><br>Keeping this in mind may help guide your choice of a signoff as well. Perhaps using &#8216;love&#8217; may be more appropriate when signing off as a family vs. an individual (again, depending on the relationship). Another option would be to sign off with \u2018We Love You!\u2019 if you\u2019re including the whole family.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll want to keep these two questions in mind when signing your Christmas card. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve got yourself some answers, there\u2019s one more thing to remember &#8212; these are Christmas cards so don\u2019t feel like you have to overthink things.

The last thing we\u2019d want is for your Christmas cards to feel like a chore.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which brings us to our first easy tip&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Use Postable to mail your Christmas cards for you.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve made it so that the task of mailing Christmas cards is crossed off your list in minutes, giving you more time to do Christmas-y things like drinking eggnog and baking (and eating) cookies!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/SWELLGRAND137-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/SWELLGRAND137-1.png 600w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/SWELLGRAND137-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/SWELLGRAND137-1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"button-cta horizontal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/cards\/holidays\/christmas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">See all Christmas cards!<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our selection of Christmas cards is designed by the world&#8217;s greatest artists. Customize the designs &#8212; or don\u2019t. And we\u2019ll mail them all out for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Send your Christmas cards early.&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To assure that your Christmas cards arrive in time for Christmas, send them early. This means placing your cards in the mail in early December. The holiday rush at the post office starts around December 15th (though we&#8217;re living in some very uncertain times so it&#8217;s possible this rush comes earlier). This slows the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/how-long-does-a-card-take-to-arrive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">usual 5-7 day delivery time<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> down quite a bit. Take the slower delivery time and add the fact that the post office doesn\u2019t deliver on December 24th, 25th or 31st (postal workers have families too!) and you\u2019ve got all the reason to send your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/cards\/holidays\/holiday-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">holiday cards<\/a> early.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when should you send Christmas cards then?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sending your cards before the second week of December will give your Christmas cards an almost sure thing of arriving prior to Christmas. If you place your cards in the mail after December 15th the chances of your cards getting lost or delayed en route get higher. If you do happen to send your cards days away from Christmas, just keep in mind it might take them longer to arrive. This may not be such a bad thing since most people really enjoy getting to open more holiday cards even after December has come and gone. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/cards\/holiday\/new-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Years cards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are also a good alternative if you\u2019ve already fallen behind.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip: You can schedule your Christmas cards ahead of time with Postable.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Skip the family Christmas newsletter.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yearly newsletters were once a great way to stay up to date with family ongoings, but today social media allows us to stay up to date throughout the entire year so whatever updates you would include are likely already up for everyone to see. A way to keep this tradition going is by including several images on your holiday cards with the significant events highlighted in the images (the kids\u2019 graduation photos or the newlyweds for example). You can also include a short snippet on the back of your holiday cards with the highlights.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. E-cards are not a replacement for Christmas cards.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019re impersonal and completely stripped of character (despite how cute they appear on your screen). We\u2019re all constantly bombarded with an overflowing inbox. Think about all those junk emails you receive on the daily. Opening emails and\/or messages on a screen doesn\u2019t really have the same effect as opening a beautiful paper holiday card. Plus, you can\u2019t hang an e-card on the fridge.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Don\u2019t send family photos to business associates.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re mailing out business holiday cards to your business associates, make sure you use a different design than the one you\u2019re sending to your family. While mom and dad are going to love a holiday card with a photo of the kids smack dab in the center \u2014 your newest client will have a slightly different reaction. Avoid confusing your clients and employees with your family photos by sending them a different card altogether. You can use your company\u2019s logo or maybe some other neutral season\u2019s greetings design. If you\u2019d like to include a photo, use one with your company\u2019s team or perhaps a product photo with your logo on the front.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Include a return address.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want to get a Christmas card in return, don\u2019t you? Include a return address so that your recipients can be sure to return the favor. It\u2019s also a good idea just in case you happened to have the wrong address for someone. This way, the post office will have an address to return the card to. In the case of a wrong address, keep in mind the post office is likely not going to be very fast at returning it during the holidays.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Keep a proper list.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it may seem like a good idea to keep a running list of all your Christmas card recipients in your head&#8230; Wait, no it doesn\u2019t. That sounds like a whole lot of work you don\u2019t need to do. You can use an old fashioned spreadsheet to keep all your Christmas addresses in one place OR you can use Postable\u2019s free handy holiday address book.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip: You can even collect mailing addresses in minutes using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/address-book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this free address book<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However you choose to keep track of your list, make it easy on yourself and keep it organized!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7.&nbsp; Use \u2018love\u2019 liberally.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The holiday season can be both a truly magical time of the year as well as extraordinarily tough. There\u2019s really no better time to spread some extra love around so feel free to use the \u2018love\u2019 word liberally in your Christmas messages and sign offs! 2022 could use a little extra love!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phew. There you have it! All the Christmas card etiquette one could ever want. Just remember, this should be fun so go ahead and get festive!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/SHAUNALYNN153.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/SHAUNALYNN153.png 600w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/SHAUNALYNN153-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/SHAUNALYNN153-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"button-cta vertical\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/cards\/holidays\/christmas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">See the Christmas cards<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beautiful customizable Christmas cards mailed for you in minutes.
