Holiday Prep Day 31 of 60: Sending Holiday Cards
As we reach Day 31 of our 60-day holiday prep journey, it’s time to dive into a fun yet practical task: preparing and sending out holiday cards! This step not only allows you to spread cheer to your loved ones but also serves as an excellent opportunity to double-check your contact list for both email and mailing addresses before you send out your wedding invitations.
Why Send Holiday Cards?
Sending holiday cards is a wonderful tradition that brings joy and warmth during the festive season. It’s a tangible way to connect with friends and family, showing them you care and appreciate their presence in your life. Plus, it can be a delightful surprise to receive a personalized card in the mail and let them know that a wedding invitation will be on it's way.
Steps to Prepare and Send Your Holiday Cards
1. Gather Supplies
- Cards: Choose cards that resonate with your style—whether they’re homemade, store-bought, or digital.
- Envelopes: Make sure you have enough envelopes for every card.
- Stamps: Don’t forget to purchase stamps, especially if you’re mailing physical cards!
2. Craft Your Message
- Personal Touch: Write a heartfelt message in each card. A simple “Happy Holidays!” or a personalized note can make a huge difference.
- Consider adding a family update or a special memory from the past year to make your card even more meaningful.
3. Double-Check Your Contact List
- As you prepare the cards, reference your contact list. This is the perfect time to ensure that all email and mailing addresses are up-to-date.
- Make a note of any missing addresses or changes needed, so you can follow up as necessary.
4. Mailing Your Cards
- Once your cards are addressed and stamped, it’s time to send them off! Plan to send them out early enough to ensure they arrive before the holidays.
5. Follow Up
- After sending your cards, consider sending a quick email or message to those who may not have received a card, just to ensure they’re still connected.
Send Your Cards as a Tradition
Sending holiday cards is not just a task; it’s a way to spread joy and connectivity during a season often marked by busy schedules. By combining this lovely tradition with a practical check on your contact list, you’re not only enhancing relationships but also ensuring that no one is left out.
So check your Christmas card list, make sure you have everything ready and plan a trip to the post office to drop off your holiday greetings.
