After everyone’s had their fill of chill, brush the salt off your snowshoes and settle in for another winter sport—planning your holiday greetings. Our online tools make sending a gracious yearly message to your friends and family so simple, you could handle it after a cup of eggnog (or two).

Celebrate every holiday tradition with cards decked out in the most beautiful ornaments of the season. Bring some majestic mountain scenery to your friends’ doorstep with cards decorated in ski slope vistas or pomander-studded evergreen wreaths. Those who’d prefer to give the gift of a good chuckle can send funny holiday cards featuring televised Yule logs, grizzlies up past their hibernation hour, and other winter follies. If you’d prefer to send along more urbane delights, you’ll find designs wrapped in tinsel and sparkling lights or accessorized with a glass of top-shelf holiday spirit. City or country, a photo card with your decor of choice lets you send a portrait or two of every family member—even those who are too little to be doing any holiday planning. Choose a photo design with holiday accessories perfect for any seasonal style—natural touches from Rifle Paper Co., contemporary textures from Kelly Wearstler, and playful mod accents from the Indigo Bunting.

After you choose a favorite, use our online design tool to make your finishing touches and then send it off to your list of the truly well-wished. Craft the perfect message—maybe include one of your favorite holiday card sayings or quotes—and choose new fonts or colors to make your wording expressively yours. Our online address book will let you save this year’s recipients as a custom mailing list—the perfect running start for next year’s card or something to keep at hand for other mailings.

If you run to the mailbox to open your friends’ holiday greetings, return the favor and send traditional paper tidings of your own on thick or double thick stock. While we don’t think your family’s photo card needs any embellishment, a touch of gold or silver foil makes a wonderfully luxe addition to your message—it’s the holidays, after all. Your card’s rich details will impress, but we’ll make delivering it a nearly hands-free affair. Plan to order your cards a week and a half before your mailing date, but, if you’re running behind, we can offer a few days’ reprieve: senders who are feeling the holiday countdown can opt for rush production and delivery (even overnight, if necessary), and they’ll find a pleasant surprise at their doorstep in just 3 business days. Order pre-addressed envelopes to save yourself hours of copying from your address book. Spend that time relaxing around the fire (with spiked cocoa) instead.

Hopefully, planning your holiday card with us has left you in a festive mood—and with a little extra time on your hands. Break out the hors d’oeuvres and spread some of your good cheer to others with a holiday party invitation in similar seasonal glee. Our invitations for every event in the frosty season let you plan a glamorous night suited for winter white or a cozy get-together made for eggnog and Fair Isle sweaters.
