Create and Send the Perfect Christmas Photo Cards This Holiday Season

11/3/2021

 
Learn how to create and send personalized Christmas photo cards to friends, family, and clients for the holidays. Include a small gift with every card you send in addition to handwritten fonts and up to two printed photos inside!
 
Christmas is generally considered one of the biggest holidays of the year. In the United States, around 1.3 billion Christmas cards are mailed out to mark the occasion and send well wishes each year. As many of us don’t send out greeting cards regularly, Christmas cards are a great way to touch base with friends and family. It’s also the perfect opportunity to share a photo and memorialize the year!
 
Whether you’re an individual, business or organization, we provide the best way to create and send personalized greeting cards and gifts with your photos. Keep reading to learn about the unique products offered by Minute Mail Gifts. Plus explore creative ideas for your Christmas photo cards.

Personalized Christmas Photo Cards

You can make the holiday even more memorable when you send Christmas photo cards with a magnetic photo frame. Our handwritten cards can be personalized not just with your message, but your favorite photographs as well.
 
By sending personalized Christmas cards and a photo frame gift together, you can make a huge impact. Our decorative magnetic frames are an easy way to display the photos printed inside the card. Or they can also be used to exhibit other holiday or family portraits on the refrigerator throughout the season.

We offer several options for matching holiday greeting cards and photo frame magnets. So, you send a sentimental and thoughtful gift with every Christmas card you send. You’ll save both time and money when using our greeting card service to mail out your custom holiday cards. Plus, it’s so easy to use, you can even create cards on your mobile device!

​Ideas for Christmas Photo Cards

Taking and choosing the right photo to include inside your holiday greeting cards doesn’t have to be hard. If you need help deciding on the right picture to include inside your cards, here are some ideas for Christmas photo cards:
Picture
  • Family action shots. Take photos of you and your friends or family hanging holiday lights, decorating the Christmas tree, sledding, playing in the snow, or even building a snowman.
  • Capture your holiday traditions. Pictures of special moments such as baking Christmas cookies, making homemade gifts, or singing Christmas carols are other wonderful moments to share.
  • Travel photos from a vacation or family trip are another great option for Christmas card photos. Not everyone is on social media. Therefore, people get excited when they see what you’ve been up to over the course of the year.
Picture
  • A photo of your pet with festive backdrop or dressed in a holiday sweater or hat is another popular choice. It’s also a nice alternative if you don’t like to actually be in photographs yourself. You can also take and include a photo of you and your pet together.
  • Generational photos with extended family – kids, parents, and grandparents – are perfect for more traditional holiday photo cards.

  • If family members are camera shy, then include photo of your Christmas stockings hung on the mantel. Or create a shot of the family’s feet all together in holiday themed or cozy fair isle socks.
  • Is there a new addition to your family? Make your baby the focus of your holiday greeting cards picturing baby in the center receiving kisses on each cheek from both parents.
  • Highlight the joy of the pajama party! Sleepovers were all the rage when you were growing up. Bring back some of that nostalgia by creating a family portrait with everyone in their holiday PJS in front of the Christmas tree.

  • Use props to make your baby or pet the focus of your Christmas card photos. If you have a red Little Tikes car, decorate it for the season with a tiny Christmas tree on top and a wreath on the front bumper. Then take a picture with your toddler or pet inside wearing a festive hat.

How to Send Personalized Holiday Cards with a Photo

Our Christmas photo cards are an inexpensive way to send a card and a holiday gift together. You can easily send personalized Christmas cards with up to two photos printed inside using Minute Mail Gifts.
 
In addition, you can include a simple gift inside. Whether you choose a Christmas tree ornament or magnetic photo frame, our affordable gift options make your Christmas cards even more unique and special.
 
To create a personalized photo card for the holidays, follow these steps:
 
1. Pick one or two photos to include inside your Christmas card.
 
2. Once you’ve decided on the picture(s) you’ll use to customize your holiday greeting cards, select the greeting card design you’d like to send.

3. Choose a gift to send with your custom Christmas photo card. You can choose from magnetic photo frames, Christmas ornaments, magnets, magnetic bookmarks, stickers and more!
 
4. Select a card layout for both the left and right writing panels inside the card. Both sides of the card offer options for a message, photograph, or both. Therefore, you can include two photos inside each card if you like.
 
5. Customize your Christmas card with the photo or photos you’ve chosen. Then type in the message you’d like to appear. You can choose from a variety of handwritten fonts for that extra personal touch, as well as choose the font size and alignment.
 
6. Address the envelope. Fill out the return address with your information along with the address of the recipient. If sending a card out the entire family of the same last name, be sure you don’t commit a grammar faux pas. (Read more on that below.)
 
7. Have us mail your card out right away. Or schedule your card to mail on the date you indicate.
 
Of course, you can also send personalized Christmas cards with no photo if you don’t have one that you’d like to include. Simply choose a card layout that indicates text only, then proceed with creating your custom holiday greeting.

How to Address Your Personalized Photo Christmas Cards

Avoid the apostrophe faux pas when addressing holiday cards or creating personalized gifts! Apostrophes are used to show possession, show omission of letters (such as when writing contractions) and to form plurals of single letters, numbers, and symbols.⁠
⁠
When making the plural of a last name, an apostrophe is NOT used. For example, if you are addressing multiple members of the Jones family, you would spell the plural of their last name as the Joneses. You would not use Jones’ as you are not showing possession.⁠
⁠
The correct way to spell the plural of a last name depends on the last name. For last names that end in S, X, Z, CH, or SH, you would add -ES to the end of their name.⁠
⁠
If the last name ends in any other letter, simply add -S to the end.⁠

When to Order Custom Photo Holiday Cards

You can order your Christmas photo cards from Minute Mail Gifts whenever you like as we offer quick turnaround times on every purchase. Cards are shipped either the same business day or within one business day after they are printed. We send all personalized greeting cards via USPS First Class Mail. Therefore, the anticipated delivery date is 4-7 days after shipment within the continental United States.

When Should I Mail My Holiday Cards?

We recommend that you mail your Christmas photo cards and gifts around Thanksgiving for timely arrival. You can either send them out a few days prior to or several days after the holiday. The goal is to make sure they arrive before Christmas. However, you also want time for friends, family, and clients to be able to create a Christmas card display.
 
If you aren’t able to send your cards at Thanksgiving, we recommend allowing for 4-7 days for arrival under normal circumstances. However, during seasonal and holiday peaks, it is important to keep in mind that USPS often experiences longer delivery times. Therefore, it’s important to factor this into account when scheduling or mailing cards that need to arrive by a certain date.
 
If you aren’t sure if your cards will be received by Christmas, then consider mailing a New Year’s card instead.
