Make Your List – Check it Twice!
Put together all the names and addresses for your 2022 Holiday Send List. Create a CSV file, and separate each column into first name, last name, and so forth. In the final column of your spreadsheet, title it “group” and use “2022 Holiday Cards” as the group name – all of your contacts will be added to the same group and you can send to everyone with one click! For step-by-step instructions on importing contacts, click here.
Choose Your Holiday Design
We have pre-built card designs to share your perfect holiday messages and photos! Choose from different layouts and color variations to make each card unique. You can even upgrade your paper type to give your cards some extra pizzazz. Click here to browse our selection of holiday cards!
Tip: Choose the Satin or Pearl paper type and your card is sure to stand out.
Personalized Handwriting Font & Signatures
Before December 9th
For only $29 you can create your own font and signatures so the message in your card is in YOUR handwriting! Your handwriting/signatures must be submitted before December 9 if you would like to use them in your holiday cards. This will allow sufficient time for your handwriting/signatures to be uploaded to your account before December 15 (the recommended mail date for all holiday cards).
Personalized handwriting fonts and signatures can be purchased from the Campaign Store. After completing your purchase, download the Handwriting Font Form with Instructions. Follow all of the instructions on the form and send it in before December 9.
Tip: You MUST purchase and submit your font form before December 9 to take advantage of this option.
Add a Photo & Gift
There are three ways you can add a photo to your card to add another layer of personalization – photo drop cards, inside panel photo layouts, and back panel photo layouts. Using photos helps the recipient put a name to the face of the sender and it’s a great way to share memories with loved ones! You can also use this opportunity to add a holiday-themed gift to your card – we have an array of gifts to share a bit of festive cheer with your recipients. Visit our Gift Store and check them out.
Tip: Use a photo drop card and also include a photo layout inside or on the back panel to include more than one photo. The goal is to make your card as memorable as possible.
Push Send!
When your list is complete and your card is perfect, make sure to hit the send button! Once you hit send, we worry about printing, inserting, stamping, and sending your cards - it’s that simple! As a bonus, anyone on our paid subscriptions has the choice of choosing the date on which your cards are sent. This means you can get your holiday cards done now, and choose a later date for them to be sent. You can set it and forget it!
Tip: Hit SEND before December 15 for cards to reach their destination before the holiday!
