Looking back at previous year’s holiday cards I noticed I like simple cards with very little embellishments or design. Since I always go for photo cards I want the photo to be the star. Fancy frames and wordy greetings are a distraction for me. I was able to choose a card design that fit my personal aesthetic.
The choices available go way beyond my simple selection though. Here are a couple options that did stand out that I thought with just the right photo would make for a gorgeous holiday greeting.
From whimsical to artsy to vintage to religious there are options for any family or even business to choose from. The selection process is easy with sort options for how many photos you want to include, the size of your card and even the color theme you prefer. This way you can coordinate your card against the image of your photo.
I’m impressed with those that create newsletter instead of just sending holiday cards. There is an option for that too. Keep your friends and family updated on the goings on in your home with this festive opportunity to stand out among the rest of the greetings.

Maybe next year when she’s a little older we can go bolder and brighter and over the top but this year safety comes first you take to make the holidays safer for family and friends?
