Holiday and Christmas Photo Greeting Cards

Photo Greeting Cards are the Newest Trend for Holiday and Christmas Cards

In the last few years I've noticed that more and more of the Christmas and holiday cards I receive are photo cards, not traditional printed stationery cards. Photo cards are easy to make and they typically cost around the same as standard greeting cards, sometimes even less -- especially if you buy a large quantity. You can send out personalized Christmas or Holiday Photo Cards, Christmas or Holiday Greeting Cards, Christmas or Holiday Invitations, Corporate Christmas or Holiday Cards and more.

Creating a Personalized Holiday Photo Card

Designing a holiday photo card is simple. Just gather your family and take a few nice photos, then pick the best one and upload it to one of the many online photo services that offer photo greeting cards. For example, at Snapfish you can choose from over 100 photo card designs, and Shutterfly offers 5x7 flat and folded photo paper cards on premium stock as well as glossy flat 5x7 and 4x8 photo cards. Kodak Gallery features Holiday and Christmas Cards, New Years and Hanukkah cards starting at just 49 cents. SeeHere.com by FujiFilm lets you use as many photos as you like for your card and you can choose from a variety of designs, add borders and decorations and a personalized message. Most online services will print your digital photo right on your card. You can also buy holiday card holders with a spot to insert your own photo.

Once you've uploaded your favorite photo, you can select your style and design, then add your personalized message and you're done. Photo greeting cards usually come in sets of 20 with envelopes for mailing. Get Discounts on Photo Cards, Photo Books, and Photo Calendars at Kodak Gallery!

Custom Holiday Photo Stamps

To make your holiday or Christmas card even more special, you can create personalized postage stamps using your own photo. The service I like is PhotoStamps. Again, the process is easy. Just upload your favorite photo to their site, choose your design and order your stamps. Photo stamps are real USPS stamps and work the same as regular postage stamps.
