If you wish to share your happiness with your friends and family, then creating a script about how you’ve been doing this year might intrigue you.
We have compiled some tips to help you create and send personalized Xmas cards to your friends and family. And the best part is we have compiled these tips keeping in the frame your desire to recap your year 2020.
So, without any further ado, let’s start with the very first tip.
Choose your Story
Of course, you might be lacking on travel photographs to your favorite campsite this year, but it does not have to mean that you don’t have a story. A lot of people have been struggling with travel restrictions imposed this year. But, at the same time, many people have experienced new adventures.
For example, you might have adopted a new pooch or would have finally taken up clearing the clutter from your attic. Likewise, you might also have taken up that guitar session, that you might have been thinking to start for years.
Your story could be anything, from your Dalgona Coffee Insta Reel to your hectic office hours.
Pick your Pictures
Now that you have a clear vision about which story you wish to share with your friends and family, it’s time you start looking for pictures to relate to your story.
Holiday pic cards need not necessarily have to be about a camping trip or a road adventure. It could also be about the weekends that you spent with your family, a romantic dinner at home with your partner, or even playing with your toddlers.
While choosing the pictures, make sure you have the subject in your photographs. For example, if you’re planning to share how you learned cooking this year, then your photographs should include your cooking in the kitchen.
Choose your Card Design
According to your design and the photographs you wish to include in your Xmas cards, there is one more feature that can make it stand out from the rest. After all, you’d want your friends and family to open up your card before they open any other.
Type of border, font size, color and style, and of course, the script that you write- they all make a difference.
It is rather advisable to ask your immediate family members to write up a short story about their experiences in the year 2020. Doing so can further highlight your recap for the year, and make your Xmas cards merrier than ever.
Order a Print or Create a Soft Copy
Once you have all the designs in the right place, you need to see them visually. There are plenty of tools that can help you get an idea about how your Xmas cards would look in reality.
With the help of visualization tools, you can make the necessary changes to your holiday pic cards, if need be.
Further, you can even order a soft copy of your design, or get a physical print for the same. It is up to you how you wish to make this holiday season merrier for your friends and relatives.
Mail it the Electronic Way or Send a Mailer
Now that you have everything in place, the only thing that needs to be done is sending your wishes to your close ones.
Notably, you have 2 options to send the wishes to your near and dear ones- you can either physically mail the prints that you have ordered, or you can share the soft copies over an email.
The mode of sharing would depend on how you plan to receive your designs. As already mentioned, emails are suitable for soft copies whereas, physical mailers are suitable for prints.
Sharing how you’ve been doing this year with your friends and family could be comforting to your loved ones. Particularly, if they didn’t really have a very happening 2020. It is rather satisfying to know that you’ve lit up someones’ life and brought in the much needed hope for happiness in the coming years.
