If you’d like an overview of the services to help you decide which one to use, have a look at our article explaining where to buy personalised Christmas cards. The step-by-step design templates make it very easy to create your card, and you can choose from a range of designs and themes. Pick a traditional card, something funny – or a card addressed to your mum, dad, grandparents or grandkids. Just add your own text, and a photo if you want, and you can design a card that’s far more personal than the ones you’ll find in the shops. The best part is that you don’t have to wait for the finished articles to arrive at your door, only to fuss around with stamps and get out to a post box. The cards you design online will be sent directly to your recipients as soon as you’ve finished them – although you can choose to have them sent to you if you want to deliver them by hand. There’s also the option to add flowers or a range of gifts to your order and turn a card into a present.
How to make Christmas cards
We’ll explain the process of creating a Christmas card. We’ve chosen to use Moonpig as an example but the process is similar on other websites. That’s it, you’re all done, and the cards are on their way. If you’d like other options, Funky Pigeon and Snapfish both offer similar services that work in the same way. If you’d prefer to design your cards via your phone or tablet, you can download an app for Apple or Android. You start by uploading the image(s) you wish to use for the card. Click on an outline for an image, then select to upload an image from your computer or from Facebook or Instagram. Use the options below the image to resize and move the image you have uploaded to best fit the space available, then click OK and move on to the next. Now click on any text fields to replace the text, or you can leave it as is. Click the arrow on the right to move between pages and update items as you see fit. If you’re happy with what you see, click Add to basket. Moonpig will offer you the option to send a gift alongside your card, but you can simply click Continue to check out. You can either have the cards sent to you or directly to the recipient. Make your choice, enter an address, then go through the payment process to check out.
