Perfect Holiday Card

How to Choose that Perfect Holiday Greeting Card

The tradition of sending out holiday greeting cards dates back hundreds of years and is only becoming more and more popular. You may be looking to send holiday cards to family and friends, maybe with a photo attached or you may be looking to send holiday greetings to your clients and co-workers. Either way, there are many things to consider when selecting that perfect card.

Quality of paper is very important. Top-of-the-line brands such as Stacy Claire Boyd and Cid Pear print on the finest textured card stock, giving your cards a unique and upscale appearance. Sustainable Parchment prints on 100% recycled paper, perfect for those of you looking to send out earth-friendly greeting cards to clients or friends.

Design is another important element. Holiday cards being sent to family and friends should reflect your personal style. It's not all about green and red anymore either! Blue/aqua and brown is popular color scheme for 2007 and many other color combos are being introduced allowing you to find a card that truly reflects your taste. Many people like to choose a photo of their pets, children or family to add to the card. Black and white or sepia photos look best when paired with a patterned card.

If you not want to use a photo you can still find a card design that reflects your tastes and have your custom text personalized inside.

Messages printed in your card can be fun and whimsical or religious and formal. It's up to you! Either way, friends and family will definitely appreciate a short hand-written note along with the printed message.

Finally, ribbons & bows, layered cards, envelope seals and coordinating address labels add a unique touch to your card.
