The end of November and the beginning of December are when most people send out their holiday cards. If you prefer to send out boxed cards, all you have to do is find the time to write a short message to everyone on your list, address the envelopes, and mail them out. However, many families like to send out custom cards with family photos to show their friends and family what they have been up to all year. With photo printing services from Peterborough Camera, Copies & More, printing your cards is easy, but you still have to design them first!
This article is your guide to designing and ordering your custom cards in time to send out for the holidays.
Choosing the Photos
If you took family photos this year, holiday cards are a great way to share them with your friends and family. The hard part is choosing which photos to include! Every family will go with something different to match their personality, but there are some basic rules that will help you make your choices. Generally, you want to include at least one photo of the entire family. If you have kids, it’s nice to include a photo of just the kids or each individual child. And don’t forget to include your pets!
Designing the Card
After you choose your photos, the next step is to design the layout of your card. You can design a card with just one side, or you can print on the front and back. If you decide only to use one side, one to three photos with a festive background and a brief message will do. You don’t want your card to be too busy and distract from your lovely photos. For double-sided cards, a common design is to use one photo, such as the family photo, on the front and the rest of the photos on the back. That leaves plenty of room to share a message and display all your photos.
