Personalized Gifts Guide

Holiday & Seasonal Cards

What are the best personalized holiday cards? Popular choices are Christmas photo cards with one to five family photos, foil-accented cards, folded cards with room to write a note, and Hanukkah or non-photo cards, all of which you can customize with your names and greeting.

Holiday cards are one of the few things people still send by mail, so they are worth getting right. A good card fits your photo, says something short and warm, and arrives before the rush.

Below are popular designs grouped by what you are actually trying to do: send a family photo card, invite people to a party, or finish off gifts with tags and labels.

                          Buying tips: what should I look for?

                          • Pick the photo first, then the design. A landscape photo needs a landscape or full-bleed layout, and busy photos look best with simple text.
                          • Multi-photo layouts are forgiving if you do not have one perfect family shot.
                          • Keep the greeting short on the front and put names, a year-in-review line or a family update on the back.
                          • Order a single printed proof if you are unsure about colors, then place the full order.
                          • Matching return address labels or stamps save time when you are addressing dozens of envelopes.

                          When to order: how early should I order?

                          Most people order photo cards from mid-November to early December. Party invitations usually go out three to four weeks before the event. Check the product page for current production and delivery estimates before you order.

                          USPS recommends sending by Dec 17 (Ground Advantage and First-Class Mail), Dec 18 (Priority Mail) or Dec 19 (Priority Mail Express) for delivery by Dec 25 in the lower 48 states. (USPS holiday shipping dates)

                          Hanukkah runs Dec 4 to 12 this year, so Hanukkah cards and gifts need ordering earlier than Christmas ones.

                          Common questions about Holiday & Seasonal Cards

                          What are the best custom Christmas cards with photos?

                          Look for a layout that matches your photo's shape and a short greeting. Single full-bleed photo cards suit one great shot; collage layouts with three to five photos work well for families or a year-in-review card.

                          When should I order Christmas cards?

                          Aim for mid-November to early December so they arrive before the holidays. Check each product's page for the current delivery estimate.

                          What should I write on a holiday photo card?

                          Keep the front simple, like 'Merry Christmas', 'Happy Holidays' or 'Season's Greetings', plus your family name. Use the back for the year, a short update or a personal note.

                          When should I order Hanukkah cards?

                          Earlier than Christmas cards. Hanukkah moves on the calendar each year (in 2026 it runs Dec 4 to 12), so check the dates and the delivery estimate on the product page.

                          What is the difference between flat, folded and tri-fold holiday cards?

                          Flat cards are one printed panel, the most common choice for photo cards. Folded cards open like a greeting card and leave room inside for a message. Tri-fold cards open into three panels, which suits a family newsletter or lots of photos.

                          Can I get matching gift tags and address labels?

                          Yes. Many designs come with matching tags, stickers, labels and self-inking address stamps, which makes a set look finished.
