Holiday Card Etiquette
Be inclusive
When sending to a diverse group, keep your message focused on warmth and good wishes rather than specific religious holidays. This ensures everyone feels included.
Send early
Holiday mail gets hectic. Send your cards in the first two weeks of December so they arrive with time to be enjoyed and displayed.
Add a personal touch
Even a single handwritten line on a printed card makes it feel more genuine. Mention something specific to your relationship with the recipient.
Do not forget the return address
Especially for holiday cards sent to people you see rarely, including your return address helps them keep in touch.
