[meta description: Choosing the perfect holiday greeting card can be a nightmare. With this quick, simple guide, you can easily get through the holiday season!]
As the leaves begin to fall and the cool autumn afternoons start to reveal a brisk winter chill with every passing day, the holiday season inches ever closer. It’s all too common that people get caught up in work and forget to plan ahead, leaving them with hours of Christmas shopping and few days to do it.
For those looking for the best holiday greeting cards to give to their family, friends, and coworkers, there is an exhausting selection to choose from nowadays. In the interest of fitting the mold for the various people in our lives, we will be going over several different wonderful holiday greeting cards!
Best Holiday Greeting Cards to Choose From
It’s a big, bold world with many interesting people from various walks of life. To alleviate the pressure of picking the wrong card and potentially upsetting a friend or missing the mark, we will give some variety in which holiday greeting cards to choose. Whether the recipient is a friend, family member, kid, or current coworker – we’ve got you covered!
You can also choose digital greeting cards, though you may need to find the person’s email first (we recommend using this helpful email lookup to do that).
Professional Holiday Greeting Cards
If a person wants to get in the good graces of their coworkers during the Christmas season, a simple, elegant, and well-made holiday greeting card can make a big splash. While reindeer, snowman, and singing musical cards work great for kids and families, a high-quality, understated card may fit the business atmosphere better.
Cards with good quality, thick material are ideal as they give an impression of craftsmanship and consistency and are far less likely to tear or bend during transportation. While most cards have lettering from left to right, some cards have lettering that is read from bottom to top. This allows the card to stand independently and decorate dozens of desks in an office.
Holiday Greeting Cards for Families With Kids
Children make for a very happy holiday, and the joyful shrieks of ecstatic kids opening presents help lessen the monotony of having to purchase gifts on an annual basis. If you need to plan for a shipment of greeting cards sent to a brother with a family of five, it’s good to get cards that appeal to the children as much, if not more, than your sibling.
The parents will be happy you remembered; the kids will be over the moon that the card starts belting out baritone vocals whenever they open it. Cards with music, as well as colorful and catchy designs, will do splendidly. A few snowmen and reindeer-driven sleighs can also help brighten the card’s reception quite a bit.
For those looking to go the extra step, getting individual cards for each family member will show a more personal touch that is often overlooked–just make sure you spell their names right!
Holiday Greeting Cards for Specific Individuals
Sometimes, getting a pack of twenty-five generic greeting cards for a group can be easier than selecting one for a specific person. Plan ahead with prior knowledge to lessen the likelihood of a stressful walk through your nearest Hallmark. Knowing what type of things the person likes, or their personality can help narrow down a search significantly.
If you don’t know much about them, try to make the greeting card stand out by its quality, style, and craftsmanship. A well-made holiday card with an embossed or textured font may not be as personal, but it’s very impressive regardless. Contrarily, finding a card that features a personal hobby or pastime of the recipient can also be a big win.
Final Thoughts on Holiday Greeting Cards
The internet has made finding greeting cards an absolute breeze, though it is still recommended that you choose a physical card. While a digital season’s greetings are better than nothing, most people still strongly prefer a tangible card over one sent electronically. There are plenty of different options online, however, that allow for customization and bulk purchases.
The holiday season is a beautiful time to get close to loved ones and enjoy the quality (we hope) cooking and companionship of those around us. Unfortunately, it can be a major headache when there is a laundry list of people to buy gifts and cards for. With this guide, you can at least strike one task off in the ongoing battle for beating the buzzer come December.
