One of the most affordable and meaningful gifts to give someone this Christmas is a Christmas card. It is easy on the wallet and can even be made on your own. Nonetheless, it is sure to bring someone a smile on his or her face, especially if you have exerted effort in making the card. More than having Christmas phrases or short Christmas sayings, an easy way to make it more meaningful is to add a picture. If you have no idea on what photo to use, keep on reading and learn from some of our suggestions.
Family Portrait
This is perhaps one thing that never gets old. Especially for first-time parents, using a family picture is a great way to make the card more special. This is a good idea if you are sending the card to relatives you haven’t seen in a while. Even with Facebook and Instagram, it is still a lot different to see family photos printed in a custom card. Check out some Christmas photo card templates and photo insert Christmas cards to have an idea on how you can use your family pictures.
Photo with your Pet
For all the single guys or ladies who are sending a card to their friends, a photo with a pet will be a good idea. Whether you have a cat, dog, or even a snake, take a photo with your pet and have this included as a part of your card. This is especially a good idea if the recipient of the card also happens to be a fellow pet lover.
Vacation Pictures
Are you a backpacker on the road for months now and you do not have the chance to celebrate Christmas back home? If you are, a good idea is to send a vacation photo attached to a DIY Christmas card. Even if you are thousands of miles away from the people you love, they can still feel your presence when you give them such a card.
Naughty Snaps
If you plan to make a millennial greeting card for the holidays, do not take things too seriously. Use your sense of humor and be naughty instead of nice this holiday season. While we are not saying that you use a nude photo for the card, be playful. Insert a photo of yourself that will make the recipient roll on the floor laughing. This will be great if you are sending out the cards to friends who have the same humor as you.
Office Photos
Who hell sends out a card with a photo of an office? Well, this is done by those who are giving a card for the purpose of establishing a business relationship. To make the holiday vibes felt, put a photo of the office with Christmas decorations and with employees dressed in a Christmas theme. This will make the card feel less business-like.
Do not make the mistake of giving out plain and boring Christmas cards that end up being unappreciated. Take note of the things mentioned above to include a good photo that will make your greetings more special and memorable!
