You probably have seen from previous year's experience that sending out Christmas cards is an exhausting thing to accomplish. You consider around 50 or more persons whom you would be distributing greeting or thank you cards. Hence, in the event that you do not prepare for your annual card-giving endeavor, you might end up in haste. However you could avoid this hassle from taking place by doing your homework, which includes the following:
Make a listing of recipients
Honestly, you cannot exclude someone out. You have managed to send out 70 cards to several persons and noticed you failed to remember to send one to your dear neighbor and 4 other friends. Now, you cannot say to them "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but I'll give you one soon" when it is already New Year's Eve. The best thing is always to have a complete list of people that are important to you. This should be made a few weeks before giving out the Christmas greeting cards. To accomplish this, try listing down all of your close neighbors, friends, family, colleagues, and others. Under the "others" list you may include the milk truck driver or your ex-lover, if you like to.
Choose your materials
Choosing the color, the material, and design will depend upon your preference. This is where your uniqueness comes out. Do not buy a bundle of stationery just because your workmate went on purchasing one last week. Select your own style. Create it using your technique. You could also make a few walks into shops that sell cards for all occasions. You can decide to get just one style of card for all or you could decide based on who you are giving them out to.
Have a specific time frame to prepare them
Whilst you could create the greeting cards ahead of night time or in your free time during a weekend, please don't do it while at work, particularly if it's an interruption to your job. Personalized Christmas cards might require a little more time so make sure that you purchase cards and prepare them weeks before you are going to send them out. If you make it hastily on the 23rd of December, you have a good likelihood of disregarding some people.
Be more personal
Holiday greeting cards are a means of expressing your loving feelings and thoughts. A modest "Merry Christmas" is all right but you could be far more warm by leaving some words. For instance, you can write down a note to a co-worker on how you love having coffee time with him. Tell your pal just how much you enjoyed your latest shopping spree with them. Say to your spouse exactly how glad you are on your 5th, 15th, or 25th Christmas together. Impart just a few modest yet meaningful feelings. If you're a manager or a supervisor, prove how grateful you are of your workforce through business Christmas cards, which may be added with bonus cash or gifts.
Needless to say, don't forget to get your name marked on the card. You can't keep your receiver guessing.
